Going International….Without the Kids
Felicia's back, Village! So it's only right she gives all the tea - and revelations - from her trip to Thailand. The Mamas also get into their perspectives on letting your partner take care of everything, spirituality within your family, and feeling mom guilt while away from your children. While Fe, Codie, Ashley and Melanie all have different points of view, they're in agreement that every Mama deserves to make time for herself (and her partner) without the children from time to time!
So Village, have you taken a big trip without your children? If so, what do you do and what did you learn? Get in on the conversation and let us know over at podcasts@blacklove.com OR you can fill out our form. PLUS you can always submit a DM over @themamasdenpodcast

Customer Reviews
circle of trust
such amazing insights and opinions and women love being in the group chat!
Yes, mamas!
I love this podcast. I’ve been following watermeloneggrolls for some years. I noticed recently her posts about the podcast. I finally listened, and I am so glad I did. I love the open conversations about dem kids, love, life, work, and the true unfiltered meanings of being woman with extra titles. Thanks for sharing ladies!
Love this podcast
As a new mama, this podcast has helped to normalize so many feelings I have on this journey! The women on this show are so uplifting and keep it real about them hills and valleys of motherhood. Such a good show. I tune in every week. The only thing I would change is that some of the episodes don’t seem to have as much structure and the conversation is all over the place. Like sometimes there’s not even an intro? It’s a little strange.
