Long Distance Friends
You’re listening to Long-Distance Friends where - no matter where you are - you feel like you’re right here with us, wearing your giant t-shirt, snuggled up on the couch having late night chats with friends. And just like in your favorite group text, you’ll hear everything from tips and tricks and product recommendations to deep conversations about life, mental health, faith, and more. I’m your host and new long-distance friend, Anna Casey. I’m a mom of 2. I’m a military spouse. And I’m so happy you’re here!! Now onto the show!

8 Tips for Surviving Postpartum with a Toddler
Do you have a toddler at home and are about to give birth? I share:
- Tips for introducing your toddler to your baby in the hospital
- Prioritizing self-care and getting through the nights
- Hack for pooling your milk (without pumping!)
- Ideas for late-night snacks
- How to delegate taking care of your pets
- Practicing getting out of the house for the first time with two kids
This episode ends with a prayer from my friend, Susanna, for those last few weeks of pregnancy (that time is so so hard!)
Resources mentioned:
Perfect Bar Dupe Protein Balls: (this is my recipe!)
