My personal mission is to share my truths about parenting and what my experience has been.

And it’s largely been a positive experience me, and I wouldn’t change it for the world. But - in a time when parenting and becoming a mom is often sugar-coated by society and we only hear the “adorable” moments it’s important to me to be real.

In this episode, I’m answering your questions about what parenting has been like for me, as honestly as I can.

Guest: Austin Brawner (my husband)
