The Great EqualizerAuthor: TGE Media
An honest, unfiltered, unapologetic and (at times) irreverent parenting and lifestyle podcast about the realities of being a mom (or dad!) in the 2020s. Launched in 2018 by journalist Sam Herbst and marketing maven Charlene Armstrong, this podcast aims to debunk the myth of perfect parenting through personal (and balanced) accounts of our mothering highs and lows all while tackling a host of relatable lifestyle topics. And because we can hardly pretend to have our own sh*t together our episodes often include interviews with experts who do. Our mission? A representative and inclusive parenting and lifestyle platform that strikes a realistic balance between celebration, commiseration and education, because motherhood and parenting is a complex beast and we shouldn't pretend otherwise. #nojudgies Language: en Genres: Kids & Family Contact email: Get it Feed URL: Get it iTunes ID: Get it |
