Alexxus and Laken discuss all things men’s mental health… we love our guys! Come along with us as we dismantle the patriarchy, in a classic Paramore fashion.

On this episode of Motherhood and Other Oddities, Alexxus talks to long-time friend Bailey Bergmann Steger about millennial parenthood, caring for children in a respectful, trusting, and loving way, some childhood development, breaking free from fundamentalist fear, and all the things we believe about little humans.

CW: eating disorders, suicide, depression… also, Alexxus sings part of a hymn. Motherhood & Other Oddities is back… with a new cohost? Alexxus explains where the podcast (and she) has been, Laken goes on multiple productive rabbit trails, and the pair discusses their mental health and the things they’ve learned along the way.

This week, Alexxus talks with mother of 2 and Autism advocate Carissa Land about her perspective on life, her advocacy for the Autistic community, what it’s like coming out as queer later in life, and her deconstructing of harmful belief systems.

Loralynn and Alexxus are starting a podcast! Holy sh*t! In this very first episode, we discuss the why and the who behind The Motherhood & Other Oddities Podcast, and talk way too much about the Enneagram.
