Momxiety Club
The Momxiety Club is a podcast for new moms-whether it’s your first or fourth. We discuss real life as a mom - our triumphs, missteps, struggles, insecurities, relationships, and most importantly our worries and anxieties. We believe postpartum isn’t discussed enough and we have created this space for YOU! Get ready to listen and share openly about all things motherhood. Anxiety is such a big part of so many of our lives and we want you to know you are not alone. We are in this club together! Listen while you’re driving the kids so they nap, commuting to work, doing the never ending housework, walking/working out, showering, or anytime you need a mental mommy minute to regroup and keep being the awesome mom you are! This isn’t your average mommy advice show. We are your self-deprecating, unfiltered, and overly anxious support group. Lean on and listen in anytime you need a reminder that you are not alone.
