While They Nap Podcast
Hi! We're two new moms trying to navigate our way through motherhood, so let’s talk about it! Grab a coffee, glass of wine, or something a little stronger (we won’t judge) while we unpack, unwind, and discuss how we deal with parenting, relationships, and adulthood sans filters. All while the kids nap…of course.
