0 to 3 Kids: The Brutal Truth No One Tells You

Today we are sitting down to discuss the transitions of parenthood. I am giving you my honest truth on what each transition is actually like.. We are talking through all the transitions from 0 to 1 kid (new parent), 1 to 2 kids (divide and conquer), and 2 to 3 kids (outnumbered). We discuss what I have learned, different perspectives, things to consider because everyone's life circumstances are different, and just real advice. I hope this was positive, but also trying to be real. Feel free to listen like a podcast

THE BREAKDOWN:
0:00 Intro
0:24 Transition 0 to 1: LIFE CHANGING (why is it life changing?)
3:31 Tips when going from 0 to 1: avoiding milestone apps, careful on consuming motherhood content
5:05 Transition 1 to 2: CHAOS ENTERS (age gaps; two under two, already in mom mode, how to divide your focus, less ‘you’ time)
9:02 Tips when going from 1 to 2: baby wear, lower expectations
9:36 Transition 2 to 3: LOGISTICS OPERATION (car seat and bedroom situation, zone defense, chaos but more calm)
12:51 Tips when going from 2 to 3: Honestly no real tips because I am living it right now! But trying to ensure each child gets individual time with mom
13:37 Having a village - family, friends, daycare
14:15 Closing

I do not pretend to know it all, because I don't. Learning everyday. Sharing any insights I learn along the way to hopefully help someone out there. Share something you think could be helpful ↓
