Ever felt like you're just winging it through motherhood?
Kate chats with Victoria Vanstone, the mom of three and author of Mumming: A Year of Trying and Failing to Be a Better Parent.
They dive into the chaotic and imperfect journey of motherhood, the pressures of parenting in the age of Pinterest-perfect moms, and the relatable struggles of feeling like a failure.
Victoria shares her experience with sobriety, how it reshaped her parenting, and why it's okay to embrace the messiness of life with kids.
