Did We Just Become Milfs?

Buckle up babes, today's episode is a catch all of everything that encompasses the transition into having kids. It's that daily "are we doing this right?" convo between three moms in the thick of having young kids. We sat down with motherhood/lifestyle content creator, soon-to-be mom of 2, & podcast host of The Real Stuff, Lucie Fink, who spilled her experience juggling her fast-growing business, adding her first child into the mix, & the household roles her and her husband split to keep life afloat- it ain't easy.
Key Takeaways:

• When Lucie felt "ready" to have kids & how her and her husband planned accordingly
• The unexpectedness in our relationships after welcoming baby #1
• Navigating feeling like the "default" parent
• How we're all still figuring out the tug-of-war between working as a stay-at-home mom vs. pursuing our career passions outside of motherhood
• How to prioritize your relationship & keep the spark alive (the importance of getting out kid-free!)

Surprise! We're adding a bonus episode to this week's roster by inviting two special guests to get behind the mic with us. Yesterday we shared our perspective of our birth stories so we thought it would be fun to hear about the experience from our partners' points of view. Today the guys share their thoughts on labor, how they supported us throughout the entire process, & advice for couples navigating an experience of their own. It's heartfelt, it's insightful, & we've got to say the boys really showed up to shower us in compliments.
DWJBM Hot Tip: If you're pregnant, give this episode a listen with your S.O. to open up the convo about your future BIRTH day!
