Introduction to the Catmoms

A man has entered the chat, I repeat A MAN HAS ENTERED THE CHAT. Catdad Ryan comes on and discusses how the Catmoms have affected his life, being a girl dad, what parenthood has taught him, advice for new dads and we also discuss Yellowjackets and why everyone needs their own shed to call their own.

Maggie discusses the shit that no one tells you before you have a baby. Maggie is off her ADHD meds and apparently wants to slap some rude people. She’s giving you the low down on what really happens after you give birth and how people can be all up in your business (and your vagina). So strap in and get ready to hear about the shit no one tells you about, but Maggie and the Catmoms will. Find us on Instagram @TheCatmomPodcast.
