Parenthood IYKYK Parenthood IYKYK

On this episode of ParenthoodIYKYK, I talk with Becky who is a therapist herself, specializing in trauma. She shares her parenting journey and how she has experienced divorce, single parenting, and now blending a family as a new stepmom. She discusses the challenges she faced in each of these different parenting stages as well as what parts she most enjoyed for different reasons. Join me as we delve into a parenting experience we don't often talk much about.

On this episode of Parenthood IYKYK, I talk with Jenn who is the owner of LIFT, a small gym in Watertown CT, dedicated to providing a body-positive environment for everyone! She shares about the difficulty of starting her parenting journey and of course, like so many, the challenges of parenting a school-aged child during this global pandemic. She also shares her experience with owning and running a business while doing all of that and what she has learned!

On this episode of Parenthood, if you know you know, I talk with an old friend of mine, Lauryn. We talk about what it was like knowing at a very young age she was born to be a mom. We also discuss how different her experience was between her first child and second, as well as the process of fostering and soon to be adopting her third child.

Welcome to the VERY FIRST EPISODE of Parenthood, If you know you know. I am so excited to finally see this day come as this podcast has very much been a passion project of mine. I hope that it provides people with some validation and a feeling of support because parenthood is no joke and we shouldn't have to do it alone.
In this intro episode, I talk to Cherelle, who is my long-time friend of mine, and almost was the co-host for this podcast. However, as many parents know, new parenthood is HARD, and as much as we want to be the same person, with the same life, it's a transition and sometimes we have to let things go temporarily for the sake of our well being. Cherelle and I talk about that experience, and how her journey through adjusting to new motherhood played a role in her having to step back from the podcast for a bit. We also talk about so much more from all the shame and stigma that moms can feel in those early days to navigating the ups and downs of this new life. I hope you enjoy this episode and get a taste of what I hope this podcast will be because there is so much we don't get to talk about and it's certainly time we start.
