We're Winging It
We are two moms who are enthusiastic about having real conversations with other parents: hearing unique perspectives on raising little humans while balancing work, relationships and passions outside of parenthood. On this podcast you will find information free of judgement through helpful, empowering stories - but most importantly reassurance that you’re doing a great job. Our hope is to build a community where you will feel validated and supported on this journey called parenthood. We’re here every step of the way, so pull up a seat! The coffee might be lukewarm but the conversation’s not! We’re all just winging it.
