As a Mom of 5, Chanelle Neilson has learned a lot of things the hard way - because babies aren't born with instruction manuals and motherhood is one of those things we definitely get better at with practice.
Even now that two of her kids have become adults, there are still lots of new things to grapple with and figure out, like, what do you do when one of your newly adult kids is making a BIG life decision that's tricky to get on board with? (More on that in today's episode!)
Here's the twist - Chanelle is actually (fascinating story) a highly respected parenting expert in China where she's published a popular parenting book AND hosted a highly regarded podcast, for years, before deciding to start another podcast in the United States. With over 185 episodes, "Moms Who Know" has been widely beloved here in the USA and respected for its lens on topics like 'How To Be A Happier Parent,' and 'How To Make The Best Of Uncertainty.'
In this episode, we'll hear how Chanelle learned to balance motherhood with work, how she's managing her mindsets to deal with BIG changes in her family, and - most excitingly - Chanelle will tell us all about her dream for a 'someday' project, Mom University, a special event that she would like to host in San Diego, California where Moms would come together to relax, learn and make their 'new best Mom friend.'
The event (originally scheduled for 2024) has been postponed but the idea is wonderful and you'll love this inspiring episode!

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
