Are you a person who loves choosing a word for the year? Or maybe someone who has never chosen a word of the year? Does the thought of it frustrate you? Scare you? Excite you? Irritate you? No matter where you are on the spectrum of feelings, I’m here for you. Today I’m sharing

What is The Balanced MomCast Patreon Community?

I’ve been helping frazzled moms find peace for over a decade — on The Balanced MomCast since 2019! You can go back over the 168 episodes before this and listen to hours and hours of valuable content that I created for you for free over the last almost 4 years.

When you become a patron of the show, you gain access to exclusive content–like podcast transcripts–many of you have asked for transcripts and now you can have them, resources, and our new MomCast BFF Community. Your support allows me to create even more valuable content for tired mamas trying to juggle all the things.

So, in a very real way, when you become a patron, you help frazzled moms, too.

Go you!
