Between Practices

Between Practices is a casual, honest, and mildly spicy podcast for parents in the thick of sports, arts, carpools, and packed calendars. Hosted by two moms navigating softball, cheer, band, choir, and everything in between, we talk about the stuff parents usually only say once the car doors are closed. No experts. No perfection. Just real conversations from the sidelines and the stage. New episodes weekly.... or semi-weekly, depending on how quickly we can pull out sh*t together.
