On Brand Mamas
by Song King
If you’re curious how other parents parent and what real family life looks like behind the scenes, you’re in the right place. First-time moms and besties Song and Angie debrief their week - navigating motherhood in the city vs suburbia - sharing the wild, beautiful chaos of parenting. We’re figuring out how staying authentic to yourself shapes the little humans watching you. Whether you’re vegging out on the couch at 9pm or hiding in the pantry for a moment of peace, this is the community every mama needs. It gets a little unhinged, we say the wrong words sometimes, but we’d love for you to join us each week.
