Good Grief, Momma!
Looking for honest and encouraging momming and marriage content? Join Allie and Nicole, lifelong friends and toddler moms, as they share their experiences and opinions on all motherhood and marriage topics. Even though they've been friends for 20 years, they usually have different opinions on most topics, which sets a unique example of how people can be friends while not having to agree on everything. On this podcast you'll hear about it all: from dirty diapers to pelvic floor physical therapy to who cleans the toilets. Follow along with them on Instagram (@allieaemmons and @Nicole_sinders_n4) to get an even bigger picture of their lives.
