Filled Up Cup
Welcome to the Filled Up Cup podcast. We are a different kind of self-care resource to the mom market-- one that has nothing to do with bubble baths and face masks, and everything to do with rediscovering yourself after becoming a mother. Join us as we talk unique experiences, unconventional methods and off the wall products. I hope you'll enjoy following alone as I bring you real reviews, honest experiences and unfiltered opinions that make you laugh, make you cry and most importantly- leave you with a filled up cup.
