Feeling left out as a first time mom of boy girl twins, Lauren Mulenos created Boy Girl Mom to explore the differences (and joys!) of raising both boys and girls. (#BoyMom and #GirlMom, y’all are welcome here too!) While this podcast is an extension of her parenting website BoyGirlMom.com, think of it as a weekly parenting discussion including real life examples, approaches, tips, and support. Regularly co-hosting with her husband Nick Mulenos, the ”dad” of Boy Girl Mom & Dad (and provider of dad jokes and laughs), they’re hoping to grow as parents and hopefully help their generation of parents grow as well, empathetically versus instructionally... not for you, but with you! Boy Girl Mom (& Dad), where you’re not alone unless you want to be. Join the conversation!

47 | What's In Your Closet? with Alden Wicker of EcoCult
Does fashion affect your health? While it’s not what you wear, it’s who you are; however, sometimes what you wear affects who you are for the worst. Today Lauren chats with Alden Wicker of EcoCult about what is in your clothing and why it matters what you wear. Tune in for ways this will affect your children too, as well as how we can make the clothing industry better for everyone, plus changes you can implement with your wardrobe now. The biggest deep dive comes with Wicker’s book “To Dye For,” which BGMAD has read and recommends.
