Heartfelt & Relatable
Round Two in Real Time: Motherhood, Shift-Work Parenting & Toddler Life with Michaela

When motherhood teaches you to roll with the punches… and podcasting does the same.

In this episode, Alex sits down with her sister-in-law, Michaela, for the second time, after their first recording accidentally cut off halfway. Since then, life has already shifted again:

• Rowan is now two and thriving in daycare
• Their family has found a rhythm within a 4-days-away / 3-days-home shift schedule

Together, they dive into:

• The hardest (and most surprising) parts of the newborn stage

• Parenting while your partner works away from home
• The wild ride that is toddler independence 🤪
• What every new mom really needs (beyond the products)

They also reflect on watching their kids grow from babies into friends, cousins who actually seek each other out and create memories side-by-side.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re figuring things out as you go, this one is for you.
