We’re not experts. We’re not coaches. We’re sisters—a first-time and second-time mom—sharing all the things we wish someone had told us before we had babies. Lived and learned experiences, passed from sister, to sister, to sister. This podcast came from the nonstop conversations and 3 am text sessions we were already having, thinking “is it just me, or...?”. Turns out it’s all of us. Whether you’re pregnant, taking care of a little one, or looking to support someone who is, we hope this podcast helps you feel less alone and more supported in this universal—yet sometimes isolating–experience.
