Minivan Mamas

Minivan Mamaspodcasters.spotify.com
2 mamas. 6 kids. 1 podcast recorded from their minivans (because quite frankly, that was the quietest place they could find). Join the minivan mamas Cherish Payne and Alexa Zurcher as they spill the tea - all while drinking their diet cokes. They'll dive into all things you talk about with your besties - mom fails, why-didn't-anyone-tell-me-that-about-postpartum stories, best and worst marriage moments, and all the junk they find in their vans. Motherhood is hard enough and you shouldn't have to go through it alone. Buckle up!
