Hey Mama! Podcast

Caitlin and Laura are dealing with a bit of end of summer vacation craziness so we'll be putting up a few of our most downloaded episodes for a few weeks.  Don't worry - we'll be back with LOTS to talk about.  Just you wait - illnesses, escapades, and more.   For now, we've got a throwback episode where Caitlin interviews a doula, Jacqui Stix, about birthing and what to expect when hiring a doula.

Laura talks about her recent summer family trip, and why it seems like there’s less relaxation time this year with a young toddler  vs. last year when she had an infant.

Originally broadcast in 2016, we recorded this special episode with our moms, during a simpler time when we each only had one kid. Original description:  Happy Mother’s Day everyone!! In honor of Laura and Caitlin’s first Mother’s Day (and our tenth episode!) we decided to do something special.  We interviewed our mothers about a variety of topics around motherhood and how it has changed from their generation to ours.  Enjoy! **We also want to give a special shout out to moms and friends who may be going through this holiday without their mothers or with complicated feelings around Mothering. We love you and are thinking of you on what is probably a tough day.** Give us 5 stars in Apple Podcasts if you like what you hear! Check out Hey Mama Kitchen!
