'Trailer' Season 1: Hello Parents! Hey Everyone! Ready to become more confident in your parenting journey? Thanks for tuning in to COLO Take 15! The podcast is made for the everyday parent. Season 1 is here! We often hear how parents struggle to find the right information. For example
“I’m not sure what I need to know, or Where to go for help” “I’ll just deal with it, and struggle through, and hope for the best” “There’s a lot of information, I have more questions than answers”
Season 1 is titled “Hello Parents!”. We know there are thousands and thousands of podcasts out there, so we are happy you’re here. This season we’ve got several guests joining us and having conversations around parenting topics such as pregnancy, labour and birth, NICU, postpartum, infant feeding in the first few weeks and beyond, partner and/or dad’s role, sleeping, playing, and much more.
I am Aaron, your host, co-founder of COLO Families, a Nurse, and a Dad of 2, and I’m excited for COLO Take 15.
Why is it called 'Take 15'? 15 min episodes are released on the 15th day of the month. We know time is tight for everyone, so we’ll try to keep our episodes close to 15min (sometimes it’ll go over time, so pause and resume later). We hope that there’ll be something you can take away to help you feel more prepared for those twists and turns of parenthood in our episodes.
