A Podcast for Moms is a podcast for moms, about motherhood. Every mom’s path is unique. Yet, we all share one common bond - becoming + being a mother is radical. Each phase of motherhood radically reshapes who you are - A Podcast for Moms explores how motherhood and the stages of parenting intersect with your identities, your relationships, and how you show up in the World. A Podcast for Moms is a platform for moms to learn something from other moms who “mom” differently than they “mom”. As both a feminist and a stay at home mom, APFM host, Julia Sparkman, is dedicated to learning from and sharing other women’s unique experiences with motherhood. Episodes include Julia’s personal stories and conversations with radical moms (and sometimes dads). Expect to receive intergenerational wisdom and diverse perspectives on pregnancy, birth, fostering, adoption, blending families, postpartum, identity, relationships, careers, homemaking, intentional parenting, social justice, and beyond. Join us every other Wednesday to feel connected, seen, heard, and less alone. Together, we are a movement of moms revolutionizing the world through radical motherhood.
