A Fresh Story, season 2, episode 11

Emily Feret (like the animal) is a 30 year old stay at home mom of two who loves to “normalize normal” on her social media platforms by talking about motherhood, body image, marriage and more with no filter! She gives tours of her messy house, celebrates her cellulite and stretch marks and more.

We chatted with Emily about her fresh start into motherhood, and her mission to help normalize normal lives so that no one feels alone. We had a fantastic conversation about why the lack of village around us raising children, and how it impacts our mental health, her experience on TikTok sharing her vulnerability, and why it’s so important to talk about living life without the filter, the real, authentic, messy parts of parenthood and how it truly connects us all.
