When you're becoming a parent everyone has tons of advice for you. They all have something to say. Now that I've become a dad I'm realizing that advice was just the tip of the iceberg. There is so much more that happens that no one really prepares you for. I want to talk about those things they don't warn you about. Like the physical recovery after giving birth, what kind of role dads may play during the birth, how your relationship with your partner will change and more. It's important for people to understand what they're getting into so they can be better prepared for those moments when you start to go insane. I called up my friend Aly Jacobs. Currently she is one of the founders of K and A Brand Consulting (she's the A), but she spent years on the radio in the Washington DC area, she's had her share of TV time on the D.C. ABC affiliate and also is a co-host on the Not For Lazy Moms podcast. Aly is very honest about her experience having two children and what she and her family have gone through. That's what this is all about...a good honest conversation.
