A real, raw and necessary podcast hosted by Tara and Kennedy who will be providing their unfiltered experiences with motherhood. We will not hold back or filter our own experience, feelings, and opinions when it comes to all things motherhood – from pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and beyond. Motherhood can feel overwhelming, exhausting, and isolating – especially when you add a layer of trauma to it, but you don’t have to do it alone. Follow along with us as we navigate motherhood, ask questions, and share stories in hope to build and unite a community through our voices. Get ready to get candid, unfiltered, and real, because we are all sharing this digital space together.
We would like to provide a trigger warning as there will be mentions of trauma in many forms. We are not professional or licensed therapists and cannot provide professional advice, however, we can relate and provide our own personal experiences and lessons that we have learned along the way.
