About the Momtellectual Podcast:
The purpose of the Momtellectual Podcast is to challenge and change ideas about motherhood. The Momtellectual Podcast is equal parts education, entertainment, and community building. It is geared toward moms who are smart, crave intellectual, “adult” conversation, love learning, and who sometimes feel lonely and disconnected as they move through their motherhood journey. They’re often told they “think too much!”, and would love to find others like themselves and connect.
While being entertaining, fun, and casual, we address important issues that often have multiple viewpoints. Rather than trying to provide “all the answers”, we encourage conversations that explore multiple perspectives and possibilities, and end with listeners having to make up their own minds about what is right for them.
