AnchorMOMS: The Podcast, Episode 85 May 12, 2021

Show notes

Sacrificing your social life for your kids? Yes, yes, yes…moms across America are raising their hand. Decades ago this wasn’t the norm. Parents had a life beyond their homes and children. Fast forward to today, and many parents equate intensive parenting with better opportunities for their kids. Why the practice can be both detrimental for parents and children.

Plus, a sister weighs in on her brother co-sleeping with his toddler. Is it controversial when a dad does something similar to what moms have been doing for years?

And the country has been focused on the side effects many women have experienced with the Johnson and Johnson vaccine. The AnchorMOMS wonder aloud why more focus isn’t centered on other women’s health issues.

The AnchorMOMS chat it up with a fellow mom who was so frustrated with the way her breasts changed after having babies…that she launched her own business.

Bonus alert: Erin happens to be Karen’s college roommate! She reveals never before revealed facts—including Karen’s propensity for competitive eating (who knew?…well we might have guessed…but it’s still a good story!).
