They See Me Mommin' Podcast

Is being an extrovert nature or nurture? What is it like to be an introvert raising an extrovert? Why are some kids just SO LOUD? We discuss these questions and more this week as we delve into life as moms raising kids who are so different to us, and how we can help our kids to harness their personality types. 

You know that feeling when you are JUST DONE?! We talk about Mom burnout this week, and we are so burned out that we didn't even realise we were over a week late with this episode!
