Kids & Clutter [Jayme & Jennifer Respond To Ep35]

Co-hosts Meagan Francis and Sarah Powers have eight kids between them, little to grown. Weekly conversations offer practical tips and real-life encouragement for moms who want to enjoy motherhood more, and cut back on comparison, worry, and stress. We’re not experts, we’re moms who’ve been there. We’re not perfect, we’re real. Welcome to The Mom Hour. 

I adore this podcast. Meagan and Sarah are so helpful, supportive, open-minded, and down to Earth. They are very intentional about everything they do and I truly believe they are making the world a better place for families. Their information is relevant, non-judgey, inspirational, and FUN! Listening to them is like chatting with girlfriends and helps me feel uplifted, hopeful, and not alone. I love the pandemic perspectives and it really helps me understand the significance of getting through this situation together. I am so grateful for this podcast and the work they are doing 💗💗💗

This Podcast is Doing Great Things

I found this podcast around the time I had my first baby (4 years ago) and since then it has been a constant source of comfort and entertainment. I truly feel like Sarah and Meagan are my friends (and I wish they were!). Thank you for your work!
