Midlife Moms Pod
Midlife Moms Pod is a podcast created by two friends, Melanie and Allison. We explore a variety of topics, focusing on our experiences with marriage, motherhood, and everything in between. As older moms of elementary school-aged kids, we dive into weekly discussions about the joys and challenges of being a wife, mom, friend, sister, and daughter. Our aim is to offer a lighthearted perspective on navigating the chaos of midlife while raising school-aged children. Tune in for new episodes each week! Follow us on Instagram @midlifemomspod.

Listen as they talk about lessons learned from natural disasters, the importance of staying cool in hot climates, and managing power and water outages. They also provide light-hearted banter on stockpiling everyday items and offer advice on planning for pets. Join them for an informative and humorous take on staying prepared for any event.
