This is Common - Life Beyond the Baby
You’ve outgrown the baby stage — but you still feel like you’re coming undone in the carpool line.
This podcast is for the moms in the middle of motherhood — managing moods (yours and theirs), hormones, identity shifts, messy marriages, mental health spirals, and maybe one too many Starbucks runs.
Hosted by Jaime Hunter, founder of The Common Moms, This is Common is a no-filter, no-fluff podcast about what happens after the swaddles and sleep regressions — when your kids get louder and your emotions get heavier… and no one’s talking about it.
Expect unfiltered solo episodes, real guest convos, audio hugs, and the occasional well-earned f-bomb.
It’s not a parenting podcast. It’s a permission slip.
You’re not too much. You’re not failing. You’re just in it.
And this? This is common.
