Oh, Toddlerhood, What a Joyous Time In Our Lives
LOL, let me start by saying I love the crap out of my child. There, I gave you the classic mom disclaimer before she starts talking smack about what her child has been up to and how wonky motherhood can get during different seasons. Yes, I adore my almost three-year-old, but also, WOWZA... what happened to the sweet, thoughtful, kind, and affectionate two-year-old I had? He turns three next month, and it's like a flip has been switched...it's wild, and I didn't see it coming. Let's chat all about it!
If you haven't seen it, watch my latest reel of me reenacting a recent "playtime" moment between us...
YAY for toddler life!

Marriage And Communication After Baby Part 3 | The Mental Load of Motherhood
In this third segment of my "Marriage and Communication After Baby" series, I dive deep into the mental load of motherhood. I look at it from a woman's perspective, how we are "wired," and a man's perspective. This would be a great episode to share with your husband if you want him to better understand the mental load we are all plagued with.
I mentioned the Fair Play book and card deck in this episode, you can find the book here and the card deck here.

Customer Reviews
Honest & Relatable
I’m 2 years into motherhood and have NEVER felt so related to until listening to Sandra’s podcast. Her voice is so soothing and the topics are INCREDIBLY on point. Thank you for creating a safe space for us moms!!
The best friend (and podcast!) that every mom needs
Motherhood can be so isolating—and hard—especially when you feel like you can’t express your true feelings. Sandra provides a safe space to discuss it all, and I have felt less alone (and understand my feelings better) since listening to her podcast. This is a must-listen for moms!
Content could be great, but delivery is painfully slow
There are some great intentions, and the content is great. The production value is 7/10. But the slow speaking and dumbed down elaboration of bullet points makes it tough to follow the talk track.
Storytelling is a skill that I hope this author learns more about. Inflection, pace, and use of dynamic range are very important to that.
I want to give it 3 stars but it just seems like there was an outline but it was never actually rehearsed. You can get away with this if you have a cohost. Delivering as a solo producer is REALLY hard, so I commend the host for trying, but it needs a good amount of polish.
