Mothers are held to unrealistic expectations by society and tend to put a lot of pressure on ourselves making it hard to be vulnerable and discuss parenting in an honest, empathetic & helpful way. I want to create a space to bring my thoughts and experiences so I can finally stop making my family parties weird. Hopefully my thoughts can help make other moms feel they are not alone and empower them to be a little more open with others.

So relatable!!

Lauren’s voice was so soothing and soft spoken and I felt like it added to her topics. I felt comfortable listening like I was in a late night session with a friend, talking on about our wants in life or a much needed dump session. Episode 3 really resonated with me because she hit on every one of my fears. I can’t wait for more episodes!

I’m addicted!

I need more episodes than just one a week!! Lauren does an incredible job of making me think outside the box, question why I do certain things and respect myself for who I am. The two episodes I’ve enjoyed so far were unlike any other podcast that I listen to and were so raw and real. Keep them coming!!! I need more of this in my life!
