How many can relate to managing a “fluid” household?  The layers of older kids coming and going, work slowing down and the added dynamic of spouses working primarily from home are real situations  many of us face and perhaps struggle to adapt to and embrace.  This episode will discuss strategies to proactively manage the fluidity of the household in this new phase of our lives, and who is more perfect to discuss this topic than a wife of an ex-professional athlete?  Hilary Loretta is a wife of a longtime Major League Baseball player, and has spent the majority of her marriage and motherhood dealing with transitions, moving parts, separation and reintegration within her own home.  Through a candid and real conversation, Hilary walks us through the strategies that have worked in both her marriage and with her own kids over the years.  Her story is fascinating and her experiences are both humorous and relatable.  Join us as we look through the lens of an MLB wife and get the inside scoop to some great stories from the road, the stadium and multiple households across the country.  And yes...Hilary has her own “walk up” song!  https://www.instagram.com/shesa10times5/
