8 must-listen local podcasts for Moms

Podcasts are a perfect fit for multi-taskin’ Mamas. I listen while I’m driving, jogging, cleaning, cooking and honestly sometimes, while I’m down on the floor playing with my kids. Podcasts can be funny, informative and often comforting. Especially over the last year, they’ve made me feel connected to the ‘Mom’ community I would have previously chatted with at the playgym or in a coffee shop. Episodes give me expert advice and relatable hosts that who ask the questions I want answer to.

Gillian Behnke, host of Mom Camp: Around the Campfire Podcast, put it best,

Podcasts are a treat each day. They fill my soul and feed my spirit whether it’s through inspirational storytelling or professional skill building ideas. It’s so important to connect Moms to other Moms who have been there, who are going through it or have an experience that can lift the listener up.

Locally, we have a multitude of wise and inspiring parenting podcasts. Here are my recommendations for best podcasts for Moms, by Moms in and around Vancouver.

Honourable Mention: This is VanColour – Hosted by Mo Amir 

Although not intended specifically for parents and definitely not hosted by a Mom, This is VanColour covers everything Vancouver parents need to know about the City we live in. Host Mo Amir offers politicians, journalists, thought-leaders, advocates and experts a platform to talk about issues, culture and personal journeys that are relevant to the fabric of our communities. Episodes are colourful, provocative, informative, and a great way to get the inside scoop on local issues outside of sleep schedules and home schooling.
