The DancingLibrarianMomWife's Podcast: Recent Episodes
Caroline Williams
This podcast is just about a Librarian talking about the life of a full time working mom with kids and a husband. I mean, sounds boring, but it's actually quite entertaining! I'm not your average Librarian that you think about with glasses and a bun on top. I'm more of the kind who dances, sings, acts, and more, all while doing my side job as a human taxi for my kids! Take a listen!

Tune in to this episode of my very honest, truthful, and imaginative son Carter. He’s very witty and you never know what he’s going to say.
Being an educator and a parent can be a good thing and a bad thing. For one we overanalyze our own kids because we “know the signs”, and then we harass the school because we know what’s right. LOL!! Either way you look at it, we just want the best for our kids.
So, after doing some digging, I ran across and article about the top 5 topics that parents are basically dealing with right now. Take a listen to see what those things are! Are you dealing with any of these things or know someone who is??? Share this with them as well!

This episode is me honestly just speaking freely on the many things we’ve done this summer and why I chose to keep us busy.
I talk about my recent trip to the cabin, which was a Christian camp with my church. We experienced some racial comments that were said in a way that continues to validate that we as “Blacks” will be forever judged by our skin. We are never judged positively but stereotypically. (Disclaimer: the camp was a great experience spiritually, we just as a people have a long way to go for growth.)
I also discuss a book I just finished by Frederick Joseph (which took me a long time because of life:)), called The Black Friend: How to be a better white person. I said the name incorrect in the broadcast and I apologize, however, it’s a good read. Go get it!
