The Best Podcasts All Moms and Moms-To-Be Need To Hear.
New motherhood can feel very overwhelming and isolating at times. Much of your days are spent alone with a new baby. Though you are busy with your baby, there is quite a bit of silent space during the day. During these silent times, many moms report missing interaction and community with others. As a new mother myself, I have been there. During those long days (and nights) when my daughter was first born, podcasts on motherhood helped me know that I was not alone in my struggles.
These podcasts on new motherhood are very fun to listen to, and are based in research that you can trust, from mothers who have been there! All of the podcasts are all completely free, and can be downloaded right onto your phone!
You are not alone in this journey of motherhood, and these podcasts will help you learn from other mama’s who have been there!
