After her first daughter was born, she was hit with the reality that motherhood was nothing like it appeared.

Honestly…

This podcast is sooo real and soooo good!! Every week I keep coming back because the conversations are real and valid. The weekly topics literally seem to hit at the perfect time of the chaos of motherhood and it’s nice to not feel alone. Love following Kaitlyn and the podcast is just as good as her IG content.
