Motherhood Unleashed: Part 1

I've had the privilege of chatting with 7 different women, all on different paths of motherhood.  Join me as they openly share with us their joys, struggles, advice and comical moments.  I love these fabulous women, and you will too.  It was hard to fit 7 hour interviews into 2 episodes.
You'll find hope, familiarity, and the comforting knowledge you're not alone on this journey.
Let's be real, motherhood is no walk in the park. It's more like a roller coaster ride through the cosmos—a transformative journey that molds us in ways we can't fully comprehend until we glance back and witness the astounding growth we've experienced.
From those sleepless nights and heart-wrenching miscarriages to tending to sick little ones and wrangling unruly toddlers and teens, not to mention the eternal struggle of deciding what on Earth is for dinner—whew! It can be quite the adventure.
Today's friends:  Maddie Karl, Angela Fordham, Rebecca Romney, Anona Adams, Claire Johnson, Kimberley Folkins and Denise Siemens.
