ABOUT THE EPISODE

Julie Short—a higher ed professional, Enneagram Coach, and co-host of the Momnesia Podcast—joins Sarah to talk about what hasn’t gone as planned in motherhood and how friendships have made all the difference. They chat about some of the difficulties Julie has faced with infertility, a high-risk pregnancy, and even life as a working mom, as well as the joys she has experienced along the way. Julie opens up about how crucial friendship have been in her motherhood journey, and (because we had to go there) how the Enneagram informs how she parents.
