Parents Connecting Podcast artwork

A podcast that emphasizes human connections when people starting talking! So often we go through life not hearing the deeper stories of people’s lives and all that make it up, including the good, the bad, and the ugly. We’ll showcase real life, not the highlight reel of social media and tv. You’ll hear actual stories of what 'adulting' is like so that we start normalizing the inevitable dips and peaks that are part of the human experience. I believe that when you get the full picture of someone, you truly connect, relate, and learn from one another on this beautiful path called life!
