Since I Became a Mother

Taylor Rae Roman

18 episodes

Since I Became a Mother is a podcast about the things motherhood changes, the things no one warns you about, and where we figure out who we are becoming, together. Hosted by Taylor Rae Roman, the show creates an honest and supportive space for new mothers navigating the emotional, physical, and practical realities of early motherhood. Season One explores some of motherhood’s toughest and most consuming questions: baby sleep, feeding, caretaking, mental health, changing relationships, finding yourself, and building a community that understands what you are experiencing. "Before I was a mother, I barely noticed mothers, and now, they're all I see." I see you.
