Kindred Conversations

Paris Tews and Brittany Frye

We are two young moms that are committed to loving motherhood because we believe that it is something to be enjoyed, not just endured. We want to cherish the sweet moments and be present during the hard ones while we grow alongside our children. As we have entered motherhood, we have found so much comfort and value in conversations with women in all different stages of motherhood and we are here to share those conversations so we can grow together and embrace all of the joy modern motherhood brings.

Summer Blues: what worked this season and some BTS of Kindred
In this episode we discuss what worked this summer season and what we gave up. We talk about how it was different from summers past. We also dive into a behind the scenes look at Kindred and how it has evolved over the years. You can expect a lot more connection content and a slight pull back from the nitty gritty motherhood scoop as our children and our parenting ages out of the baby and toddler years. We could not be more grateful for our extremely cool community and the support we continue to receive from listeners! Thank you for being here!!
