Getting Grounded
by Samantha Blatz
Getting Grounded is a podcast about becoming a parent...and becoming a whole new version of yourself along the way. Because no one really tells you how much parenthood changes you. Your body, your relationships, your friendships, your career, your priorities, your identity… sometimes even the way you see your entire life. Hosted by Sam, Getting Grounded is where we talk about all of it. The beautiful parts, the hard parts, and the parts you’re not always sure you’re supposed to say out loud. We get into postpartum, sex and intimacy, mental health, marriage, friendships, work, identity, overwhelm, and the daily chaos of trying to take care of everyone without completely losing yourself in the process. Each episode brings honest conversations with experts, inspiring people, friends, and fellow parents about the things we’re actually w
