SuperMom MD (Mother Determined): Recent Episodes
SuperMom MD (Mother Determined)
SuperMom MD is our passion project, the “MD” signifying Mother Determined, which we are…determined mothers who have faced incredible challenges with our children, and who are determined to persevere. We release episodes of our podcast weekly, discussing a variety of topics related to parenting, working, dating, and what it means to come into our own after turning forty. Our nearly 30-minute show will bring you into our lives, as we share stories from our own experiences, giving you a fair share of laughs and earnest head-shaking, and at the end, we’ll give you a little Rx for the week. It's a podcast with two mothers, but it's not your mother's podcast.
