About
Moms Actually is a talk show that creates a space for moms to have candid, vulnerable and honest discussions about the reality of womanhood and motherhood. These topic-based conversations are aimed at breaking away from the “glossy” images of parenting on social media that create an impossible standard to live up to. We are building a community where motherhood meets sisterhood to support those who have felt alone in their personal parenting journey and give them a relatable voice to champion their experiences.
