17. Expanding the Conversation: Celebrating the Dads of Between the Chaos and Calm
from Between the Chaos & Calm: In the Middle of Motherhood · host With Gloria and Jenna
*We want to note that this episode includes brief mention of the loss of a father at a young age, which may be triggering for some listeners. Happy Father’s Day to all the great dads and father figures out there! While our show is dedicated to all things motherhood, we wanted to broaden the conversation and share our gratitude for the dads in our lives whose fatherhood also deserves space for reflection and celebration especially in light of men's mental health awareness month. In this episode, we have a lighthearted happy-hour conversation with our husbands and explore what fatherhood in the present day means to them. We'd like to acknowledge that their experiences, and ours, may not represent all of the nuanced family dynamics, feelings, and experiences that exist. Know that we hold space for your experience even as we share our own. About our Show: We are two moms who met on Instagram years ago and quickly bonded over our love of the Montessori philosophy applied to parenting and over nerdy child development research. We decided to take the leap by finally taking our chats out of our DMs and inviting you to listen along as we chat about all things motherhood.Gloria is a former 1st grade public school teacher turned SAHM and now Montessori homeschooling mom to her 6 and 4.5 year old.
