The Kind Moms Club Podcast

moms are people, too (10 hobbies you can start right now)

This might just be my favorite episode to date.  We're moms, but we're also PEOPLE, ya know?  As much as motherhood is a part of who I am, sometimes you just need to feel like a whole human.  Here are 10 realistic, easy-to-start hobbies you can try out if you're looking for something to help you just feel like yourself, feel like a whole person, or have a little fun.

Broken Strings Brewery GoFundMe
 
If you decide to start one of these hobbies, take a selfie and share it to your Instagram stories and tag me (@yourmomfriendkay) and the podcast (@kindmomsclubpod) - we'd love to see some mamas just living their best lives!

feeding our babies

Sharing a little bit of my breastfeeding journey and discussing why "fed is best" isn't just a saying - it's so very true.  Talking about breastfeeding (including nursing and pumping) vs. formula and sharing a little insight on starting solids.  Basically, I'm covering all things feeding our babies.  Fed IS best, mama, you're doing great!

roadtrip 101

Taking a road trip with little ones is an adventure!  I'm sharing some tangible and realistic tips and ideas for your next trip (or in hopes you might feel confident enough to plan one!) with your family.  We all know moms are in charge of all of the planning and packing, of course!  This isn't your average "travel tips", these are real-life things you can do to make your trip go smoothly and save your sanity.

the mental load of motherhood

Let's talk about mom guilt...because no one really is, right?  We ALL think we could be doing better, even those moms you see that look like they're just flawless (maybe especially them).  We're also going to really dig into being the default parent, the assumed responsibilities of "Mom" - even when you have an AMAZING partner - and all the things tangled up in the mental load of motherhood.  Above all else, don't do motherhood alone.  Need someone in your corner?  Connect with me on Instagram @yourmomfriendkay.

habits + routines

How did I stop hating laundry?!  This week I'm sharing all about what routines and habits are supporting me well in this season.  After a decade in education, I'm now a stay-at-home/work-from-home mom and I get a lot of questions about how I manage all of the things going on in my world; well here it is!  This is an episode I can revisit and update later, too.  Make sure you connect with me on Instagram this week to get some extra content on the things mentioned in this episode.

unsolicited kindness

Let's agree to quit sharing unsolicited advice and instead share unsolicited kindness.  Moms don't need any input on their kids, they need an encouraging word.  In this week's episode, I'm sharing some of the wildest things people say to moms - both from personal experience and many that other mamas shared with me.

redemption

It feels right to launch this baby on Galentine's Day, ya know?  I'm getting vulnerable in this episode and putting together my journey to motherhood for the first time, ever.  How cathartic to process this in an open love letter to myself and to my daughter.  We laughed, we cried, we're making a podcast, mamas!  Tune in for new episodes every Tuesday and in the meantime, leave a rating and a review, follow me on Instagram, and connect with me there.
