Episode 1: Hey mama, hey!

Hey Mamas!
The Real Mama Pod was created by two college besties, Devon and Kendra,  who are juggling the adventures of mamahood one day at a time. From sharing the joys of positive pregnancy tests, to a miscarriage and NICU stays, they’ve experienced so much together! 
On their journeys to and through mamahood, there has always been a lingering question of, “Why didn’t anyone tell me this?” This question, among others, led to the birth of The Real Mama Pod.
