Are You A Main Character Mom? Don't Be Embarrassed. So Are We.

from Mother Plus Podcast · host Stacey Hutson & Stephanie Sprenger

Send us Fan MailAre you a Main Character Mommy? Don't be embarrassed—so are we. Can we ditch the narrative that quirky, charismatic moms have something wrong with them? Even in this age of feminism and female empowerment, we are resistant to the idea that a mom can and should be the main character. The one line in the Barbie movie that Stace and Steph can't stand—because we won't stand still. Letting our own lights shine does not mean extinguishing our children's lights—we are all allowed to be the main characters of our own story. In this solo episode, Steph reads her piece "Main Character Mommy," originally published in Motherwell Magazine. Having main character energy is a hallmark of being a mother-plusser, and we want you to embrace yours unapologetically, as we are learning to do.
