Review of the week 
A parenting podcast for all the ages
I have been listening to Find The Magic for a long time now and appreciate that they provide info that spans from mom of newborns to parents of teens. They have kids in all the stages (similar to me) and also connect to women in general (they don’t only talking about things related to being a mom). They share parenting tips and info on many great books, but also lots of information about meditation, miracle morning and taking time for ourselves amidst the chaos of parenthood. I can’t recommend this podcast enough!
