Welcome to Parenting in Queens Podcast
Thank you for tuning in to our episode with Thuy Petersen. She is a mother of three children. When we recorded this episode she was pregnant with her third child. After finishing recording I get an email saying that she was heading to the hospital! We got so lucky to record this episode just in time.
In this conversation we speak about expectations about motherhood, what motherhood has taught her so far. We listen to her marriage advise and self-care practices. My guest is also trying to contribute to her community by opening House of Playful Soul where children cannot only play and interact with others but also can be involve in various community projects from a young age. At last she tells us why she loves her neighborhood Forest Hills!
