Meet Lauren Kelly and Sarina Bellissimo. Two parents who don’t beat around the bush and want to have honest conversations when it comes to parenting. This podcast came about after they became parents and realised that nobody tells you so many things. People tell you bits and pieces but nobody really tells you what you want, or need, to know. Lauren and Sarina have decided to share their parenting tales – not to scare people; they just want to share their truths because at times when the truths you see out there aren’t recognisable, you can feel very alone. In this episode Lauren and Sarina talk about: Faking it until you make it. How they and their partners made the decision to become parents. The surprises that come with being in labour and their birth stories. And they share some of the most inappropriate things people say.
