Moms Off The Record

Katherine Sigblad

What if modern motherhood advice feels off?Moms Off The Record is a podcast for mothers who question the cultural narratives around motherhood and revere ancestral wisdom in our modern world.Mainstream culture often normalizes separating the motherbaby dyad, outsourcing maternal intuition to “experts,” and following routine advice without exercising discernment or asking questions. Here, we have the nuanced conversations that don’t fit into the fast-paced, dopamine-driven Instagram world.This podcast examines the intersection of maternal intuition and compelling evidence.Topics include breastfeeding, matrescence, cosleeping, parenting, potty training, hunter-gatherer societies, and holistic health.Episodes air every Tuesday.
