Ep. 31 - Motherhood Shifts in a Growing Family with Jess Osie

One baby vs. two babies — depending who you ask, you’ll get a different answer about what it’s like to shift from a family of 3 to a family of 4 or more. 

This week, I’m talking with Jess Osie about the shifts in motherhood that come with a growing family.
