The Friendly Dads Club! Who knew they would talk so much. We had to split this episode into two. Both Jen and Karlee’s husbands join the show to talk about pregnancy, birth and postpartum through their eyes. It’s real talk and a bit funny at the same time. It’s always interesting hearing their version of events and what were the hardest parts to them. It is marked explicit for the odd swear word that was just too hard to edit out. Hope you enjoy!

Another fun guest episode!

Being a mom for a whole year is a wild ride. Join Jen and Karlee as they talk about what they learned over the year, things they didn’t expect, new emotions/struggles and how the transition back to work went.

Join Jen and Karlee as they talk about a bit of a controversial topic – Intimacy & Sex! This topic can be “touchy” to talk about for some people but we believe it’s important to have these conversations and normalize the topic. Throughout the entire perinatal period the dynamics of your relationship can change greatly in regards to intimacy and sex; for most people it often becomes this elephant in the room no one wants to talk about. There can be a ton of physical changes that happen during these times and it’s more important than ever to be open with your partner about how you are feeling. We hope…
