In this episode, Erin & Blake discuss the latest issue of Mutuality Magazine that is all about motherhood. This is a very special issue with many contributing authors that tackle a range of topics related to motherhood. Don’t let the topic fool you! This issue AND this episode are not just for mothers (and Blake and Erin will tell you why). You might be surprised with our guest author on this episode, but you won’t want to miss out on what they have to say.
