My Favorite Books for Early Parenting

There are SO many great books available for new parents that it can be overwhelming. As I prepare for my first big work trip since 2019, I’m reminded of the hot mess I was (still am) trying to pull off parenting and professional appearance. In this episode, I share the top books that helped me navigate the uncharted territory of being a parent, from conception to the dreaded toddler stage. Shout out to all the wonderful authors and podcasters out there that have taken the time to help parents everywhere be more successful and less isolated!
