The Marathon of Motherhood with Joan Kimmel — PCP 028

Motherhood is long. A long, long time and it can be overwhelming to think of the whole spectrum, but I also think it's really important that we do just that — to remember that there are many ups and downs but it's a long-term game that we have to keep our eye on the horizon. Today's guest is Joan Kimmel, and yes -- she had that famous last name first. She's the mom of Jimmy Kimmel from the late night show Jimmy Kimmel Live. But, to me she was just a volunteer with our carnival for a couple of years before I figured it out. :) Big thanks to our sponsor Family Routines -- it's a great option if you're wanting to prioritize your life, get your family involved in keeping your house and otherwise stay sane.
