The Lumpy Mother
The Lumpy Mother is an unapologetically parent-centered podcast that focuses on how parents can show up better for their kids by prioritizing showing up for themselves. The way the show works is each week Natalie and Sarah share a yes, a no, and a hello about their respective parenting journeys or, in other words, they share something good, something bad, and something random. Topics range from coping strategies that help you regulate your emotions during a day of nonstop toddler meltdowns to how many teeth you can expect to lose after pregnancy.
