We Have Kids
A podcast to keep you company through the daily chaos of parenting.
We’re just a couple of real moms on our own parenting journeys, here to share what we learn along the way. Each episode dives into relatable parenting topics (think: all the stuff you’re frantically googling during your first years as a parent) and our own hot takes on all the latest in parenting debates. Whether you’re dealing with toddler tantrums or seeking ways to keep the spark alive in your relationship, we offer practical tips, heartfelt stories, and not-necessarily-expert advice. Tune in, laugh with us, and be reminded that you’re not alone out there in the emotionally, physically, and mentally messy world of parenthood.
