Made by Mammas: The Podcast
Zoe & Georgia on How Much Responsibility To Give Our Kids And When & Managing Overload
This week, Zoe and Georgia are back with a catch-up! They dive into the ups and downs of parenthood, from accidentally twinning in outfits (again!) to the British Podcast Awards. They share the experience of when is the time 'right' to give your kids certain responsibilities and when, and the daily juggle of balancing extracurriculars with carving out some much-needed "me time."
