They See Me Mommin' Podcast

We are children of the 80s. What was it like growing up in the 80s and 90s? Come reminisce with us (or learn from us depending on your age!) about the hair, the make up and the cell phones we remember from growing up! How did people survive without the internet?! Parenting has changed so much since we were children - step into the world of us early millennials!

Shout out to all the besties out there. We talk about awkwardness as a teen, the struggles of making friends now we are parents, how an introvert made friends in a new country and how we met each other. We share our top tips for making friends now we are mummies!

We have some hilarious stories about our quirks and the quirks of our children. Ketchup phobia? Yep. Inability to be late? Yep. Kids who obsessed with paper? Yep. Karate kid fanatics? Yep. Kids who carry about Mommy's shirts? We got it!

We talk about pregnancy. The highs and lows, the joys and sorrows, cravings and weight gain. Both Maria and Viv suffered hyperemesis which is a medical condition that results in extreme sickness. Watch out for Maria's stories of pregnancy related depression and how her nose grew huge! We also go into the differences we felt between our first and second pregnancies. Line of the episode comes from Maria: "Our lives are changed, so are our hearts and our mental state!"

Isn't it though? We share our daily mom struggles with you. Turns out parenting is WAY harder than they told you in the movies and kids don't always behave like angels. We realize parenting isn't all unicorns are rainbows and unicorns don't fart glitter.

We did a photo shoot. The outcome was both beautiful and horrifying! We discuss our awkwardness in front of (and behind) the camera. As a mum it's easy to lose your identity so we also discuss a bit of mummy self care and what we do to help us feel more confident. You are never 'just' one thing. You are many things!

In this episode we talk of the ways we have taught out kids about kindness, and how we are kind to ourselves. It's something we think is so important, which is why we are making this one of our flagship episodes! We talk about kindness adventures, random acts of kindness and how much we love the movie WONDER. Music credit www.bensound.com
