Description

Why does making friends as an adult (and especially as a parent) feel so darn hard? Between juggling kids, work, a busy netty schedule (too niche?) and general exhaustion, it can feel impossible to connect beyond small talk at daycare drop-off. In this episode, we dive into how to make friends as a parent, why it feels awkward, and how to build real, meaningful friendships in the chaos of raising kids. From playground politics to mum-group awkwardness, we’re getting real about what it’s like trying to find your people in parenthood.   HOSTS & PRODUCERSKelly McCarren ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@kelly_mccarren⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Kee Reece Searles @keereece AUDIO PRODUCTIONMadeline Joannou - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Mylk Media⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
