Conquering Your To-Do Lists With Confidence with Samantha Barkley
Gotcha Mama
Wouldn't it be nice to have ONE reliable place you could go to find resources that would answer your questions about parenting and health and wellness for your family? That's what my guest on today's episode of the Gotcha Mama podcast, Samantha Barkley, set out to do when she created her website and blog A Mom Around Town. Samantha's own experiences with a newborn left her needing help finding breastfeeding support, sleep guidance and someone just to have coffee with. I love Google as much as the next mom, but it can get a bit much to wade through to make a decision and find exactly what you are looking for. Samantha created the website resource A Mom Around Town to help other moms find confidence in themselves and the best health, wellness and parenting information to help them get there. We talk about: How A Mom Around Town serves moms and what types of parenting and pregnancy resources she offers The biggest challenges she faces as a mom to a toddler Ways we can be confident in our motherhood journey How to conquer to-do lists and feel accomplished as a busy mom Find Samantha on: Website - https://amomaroundtown.com Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/amomaroundtown Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/amomaroundtownstl Pinterest - https://www.pinterest.com/amomaroundtown For show notes and resources mentioned: http://www.gotchamama.com GOTCHA MAMA INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/gotchamama/ GOTCHA MAMA FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/gotchamama/

Time for Success - Business Owner Moms Edition *Limited Series*
On Time for Success - Business Owner Moms EditionWe are interviewing Samantha Barkley founder of A Mom Around TownGet to know Sam!"Hi, I’m Sam! I am mom to a crazy little one year old, wife of 6 years and creator of A Mom Around Town.I started A Mom Around Town simply because I needed help! When my little guy was first born, I searched forever for mom groups, lactation support, things to get me out of the house and a places with clean changing areas and enough room to push my stroller around.Every time I found a business or person who was able to help make my life a bit easier, I wanted to shout it from the roof top and tell everyone about it. So I started to think about how I could put that information out there and hoped there would be other moms that could benefit from it. And from there, A Mom Around Town was born!"https://amomaroundtown.com
