Zibby's essay: "School Didn't Prepare Me For Parenting" Jun 28, 2019

Show notes

I've been spending a lot of time in the ER this summer. It has made me realize how useless my education has been when it comes to preparing me for motherhood. Why wasn't there a class on how to read ultrasounds? Diagnose illnesses? Undergo extreme sleep deprivation?! Listen to some of the classes I wish I'd taken. I published this as an essay on Medium.com. What do you wish you'd taken!? Email me at zibby@zibbyowens.com with any feedback!!
