The parenting show for everyone. Created by Hillary Frank. A Stitcher production.
Transitioning to parenthood is confusing as hell! If you are overwhelmed with all the conflicting advice on the internet, you'll enjoy Eleanor and Alexandra giving you straight talk on topics like pregnancy, birth, and parenting.
The year Evan turned 19, his mother died, and he became a father. He put aside his college plans and chose to raise his son. 15 years and another kid later, Evan gets candid about his struggles as a young dad and how he's now taking the time to discover who he is beyond the role of "parent". Interviewed by LeNora, his sister, who is not a parent, by choice, Evan shares his journey with humor and some sibling banter.
