Kids Takeover

On behalf of Diversifying Podcast platforms... we wrap up the True Family Vibes podcast with a  hilarious trip down memory lane where we examine the ups, downs, and unexpected poos of parenting. Remember that Disney movie you loved as a kid? It probably had a sorrowful theme and we're talking about how it sparked conversations with our children about life and loss. And who can forget the episode where I had to defend my bum from another child? These memorable moments have not only entertained us, but have also shaped our future as parents.Brace yourself for an honest look at the messy yet endearing journey of motherhood. The tantrums, the stains on the carpet, the laughter, and those unforgettable moments when an unexpected poo makes your day, or rather ruins it. Remember when I shared the issues of raising a vegan climate change generation, convinced that there is no meat in their sausages? We're revisiting all of these precious memories and more. As we bid farewell to our beloved podcast, we can't help but feel a sense of anticipation for what the future holds. We're wrapping up this chapter with a contemplative look at Our top 10 episodes that sum up this season and the many topics we've discussed over the last 2 years. Our concluding episode is a tribute to all the laughter, lessons, and love that our podcast community has shared. We're signing off, but the journey doesn't end here, it's just taking a different road.Hope you enjoy this random episode  Support the show
