Moms You Meet on the Playground | Parenting in a Pandemic

This week we're revisiting one of our favorite playground chats from last season. We're joined by professional nanny, Jada Rashawn, for an open and honest conversation about the iconic relationship--both between the parents who hired the nanny and the parents that encounter nannies on the playground.

Jeri Melo, aka Miss Jeri, founder of The Classroom To Go, makes a bus stop at the playground to chat about school shutdowns, remote learning, and how she pivoted her teaching career to create something completely new and all her own.

Gina Notes, health/fitness coach and mother of three, stops by the playground to discuss her family’s decision to start homeschooling after the shutdown in 2020.

Did summer feel like we thought it would? Has the school year gotten off to a good start? What is the new normal? We’re now back weekly! Ready to unpack and process this thing we call parenting and what’s new for next season!

Our hosts take a look back over more than 20 episodes of Moms You Meet on the Playground and reflect on what they've learned, how it's helped them process parenting and what their hopes are for the future.

The children are our future. How do we teach our children to become activists of change? How do they teach us? Mom and founder of CoCreate Work, La’Kita Williams, joins us on the playground to process raising socially responsible children.

Most parents have gotten their COVID vaccines, but they aren’t available for some kids yet. So what’s a parent to do? Mom and pediatrician, Nel Latronica, joins us in processing this new phase of the pandemic.

West Coast mama and co-founder of The Key PR, Martha Shaughnessy, drops by the virtual playground to talk through the anxieties and questions that both parents and kids face when their world is starting to reopen and what that new normal may look like.

Food allergy mom, Meg Nohe, takes the time to answer ALL our questions surrounding having a kid with a severe food allergy and how other parents can better support families like hers.

Ilana Wiles drops by the pod to process through what it means to have mom friends and how the approach to those relationships have changed with the pandemic.
