Description

Hey moms, have you ever wanted to feel more seen and supported? This is MomCast, powered by the Local Moms Network. I'm Demetra Ganias, a host, a writer, a mom of three...and I am in it, just like you. I'm comfortable having the uncomfortable conversations about motherhood, so I'll ask the questions you're already thinking. Together, we'll talk to the best experts and most relatable moms for their take on this incredible, yet sometimes impossible, role. We'll raise questions, find some answers, share a lot of laughs, and likely even some tears. And we'll do it together. The good news, nothing's out of bounds here. We'll build a safe space to discover, share, and grow. Because when we know better, we do better. Let's throw perfect aside for the sake of good enough, because all our kids really need is us - to do the best we can. Come join our community, follow us now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you enjoy your shows.
