Not Quite Grownup
For elder millennial moms who are politically progressive, emotionally exhausted, and sick of “perfect‑parent” propaganda.
This podcast is a warm, funny, and unapologetic space for moms who want to laugh, cry, and rage at the world without pretending they’ve got it all together. We talk about parenting, mental health, and politics the way real friends do—messy, honest, and full of grace.
If you’re tired of performative parenting content and want a show that centers empathy, accountability, and joy, this is your safe space.
New episodes drop Tuesdays. Find me at www.notquitegrownup.com or @not_quite_grownup on social media.
