Let's talk about how to NOT go crazy during the Holidays!

We all know that parenting is messy, so The Mother Load podcast with hosts, Constance Zimmer and Missi Pyle, gets real and rips the bandaid off what it means to be a parent, that's not in the books. It's about progress, not perfection. Together, with a variety of special guests (some celeb friends) and experts, Constance and Missi talk about what really happens as a parent - the confusion, the uncomfortable moments, the best and the worst when it comes to raising kids. The show provides an unfiltered community filled with authentic conversations and experiences, lots of laughs and even a few tears. This is a place people can go to express their frustration about all the parenting mishaps that no one wants admit or feels comfortable talking about.
