The Mommalogues Podcast

Trish was so wonderful to chat with.  We talked about her mothering, being a mother to a child who made to the other side of substance abuse and her eldest child who is a trans young woman. Our conversation wasn't solely focused on her trans daughter, which

I am grateful for my son and who he is in the world.  I am grateful that he trusts me enough t...

I really hope you enjoy this episode mamas!

Ariel is one of those people.  I've had the pleasure of working with Ariel.  My Doula clients ...
