Love them or hate them, or maybe you are still unsure of them, podcasts are becoming increasingly popular. It seems like everyone has a podcast, from our favorite celebrities, brand ambassadors, businesses, and more. I first listened to my first podcast nearly 3 years ago and I became instantly hooked. With a long commute to work, listening to a podcast allowed me to learn about new topics ranging from fitness, fashion, celebrity gossip, strange history, unsolved mysteries, and you guessed it, motherhood. Podcasts come in different formats, topics, and often can be so relatable, which is why I think so many mommas tune into podcasts dedicated to all things associated with mom life.
