Amanda & Shawn Kingtrying2parentpodcast.podbean.com
We are Amanda & Shawn King, hosts of Trying 2 Parent Podcast, & NO we are NOT pregnant JUST YET but we wanted to invite you guys to join us on our adventure as we move out of the country #Mexico, simplify our life’s, have one if not two babies with dual citizenship, & raise our kids to be global citizens. Join us as we explain how over the past year we’ve been trying to get pregnant. We’ll share with you guys the ups the downs, the good, the bad and everything in between because to be honest things haven’t been easy for us, they haven’t been smooth and they definitely haven’t gone as planned. But…. We believe raising a family takes a Tribe. We want to share this journey with y’all because we know much like our story this process of becoming a parent isn’t easy for everyone. So we want the advice from our friends and family who have done it correctly before us. Plus the usual tips and tricks on how not to F!ck things up. And by “things” I mean our kids. To be honest we don’t know exactly what we’re doing which is why we’re asking you to join us as we learn first hand. That starts with trying to convince which we’re pretty good at, and ends with our kids most likely putting us in a home. This will be brutally honest, quite descriptive, & full of attempts at poorly timed humor mostly by Amanda because she’s not the funniest person around. We will be taking listener questions that we are likely... Actually certainly unqualified to answer. But never the less, feel free to send any and all questions over to us @ trying2parentpodcast@gmail.com or on our Facebook at Trying2Parent. If you want to be featured on the show feel free to text in or call and leave a voicemail at (360)-450-5008 This is the start of our new story. We hope you join us for the long ride 🚘🌎 This is the Trying 2 Parent Podcast Let The Games Begin…

Episode 75: Hello From Europe

Sorry guys, life has been crazy, business has been crazy and when just haven't been putting the time or the effort in so sorry about that.

Sorry we missed last week guys.
