Reading pro

I have been listening to this podcast for awhile now. I have a variety of podcasts in my library. I choose the All Mom Does podcast when I want to be inspired or comforted. Ms. Carr addresses issues I face as a mother of three that span a decade in their ages. I check out the show notes and find myself moving in a positive parenting direction after listening. This week I am checking out medical school consultants because of Ms. Carr’s interview with Jeanie Burlowski about paying for college and admissions. I was exposed to new thinking and material and that is always a good use of time and an attractive podcast especially for a busy mom.
