The Real Mama Pod
(Mama)hood is a vulnerable and layered community to be part of. Devon and Kendra have shaped their podcast to fit mamas in all phases. Whether you’re on the quest to become a mama or already have kiddos, there are constant learning curves and many questions without answers. When hanging with The Real Mama Pod, you can expect us to have fun, welcome vulnerability, be informative (as much as we can), and most of all, keep it REAL!
