Episode Notes
In this episode, we sit down with a mom of two, Jennifer, to explore the highs and lows of her parenting journey. Jennifer shares her poignant story of discovering her first pregnancy just as the world shut down in March 2020. She opens up about the isolation of navigating appointments alone, the uncertainty of becoming a first-time parent in a pandemic, and the bittersweet experience of family meeting her son for the first time through a window.
The conversation also dives into her second pregnancy—a vastly different and more connected experience—where her husband could finally join appointments and celebrate the moments they missed the first time around. Together, they discuss preparing her toddler for a new sibling, raising bilingual children, and embracing the mantra that “everything is a season.”
Through her story, Jennifer reminds us that while some parenting seasons are darker than others, every challenge is temporary, and every moment offers growth and joy.
