Show Notes:

For our 1 year anniversary episode, we’ve got a special guest with a story a lot of moms will be able to relate to! Joining us is optometrist and full-time mom of two daughters, Alison Kitzerow! Together, we’ll chat about how to keep it healthy without losing the fun, the struggles of buying new furniture online, hacks for wetting the bed, among even more. Then, Alison tells us about the time she threw “gentle parenting” out the window during a trip to Whole Foods gone wrong. What are the limits of gentle parenting, and when will it just not cut it? No one ever said being a mom in real life would be easy… or perfect! So let’s take a moment to visit all the little moments that make us laugh, cry, and drive us completely up the wall!
