Extraordinary Moms Podcast

Today, I'm sharing a conversation I had with a group of teenagers girls all about what's going on in their lives, what they wish their parents knew, how they feel about technology, and more. It's insightful and awesome. Enjoy! (And it was all recorded in person pre-quarantine so the sound quality varies a bit:))
