Ep. 25 - The Importance of Parenting with Sarah Bilger


Listen Later

No matter how many parenting books you read or advice you receive, does anything REALLY prepare you for becoming a parent? If you ask a first time parent with a newborn, their answer will most likely be a big fat NO. 

Parenting can be the most exhilarating, amazing, scary, and life changing experience you will ever go through. The entire experience from start to finish is so important for our own personal growth as parents and spouses, because it teaches us so much about ourselves and each other. 

In our discussion today, we have invited Sarah Bilger, mom, wife, full time mechanical engineer, and host of the podcast Entering Motherhood, to talk to us about the importance of being a parent. 

We go over her experience giving birth to her first and second child while working full time and the struggles that came along in the beginning. Sarah had so many unanswered questions, it felt like no one talks about how insane it is to be a parent. So she wanted to help others with the things she struggled with which is why she started her podcast about becoming a mother.

Another big topic discussed is the relationship between spouses when raising children. The conversations that need to be had prior to committing to each other and what to discuss when deciding to have children.

All this and more in today's episode. You don’t want to miss it!
