Nikki, shown here sandwiched between Nirvana and Fabulous
Dimity and Sarah are joined by Nicole “Nikki” Knepper, a mother runner of two and the genius behind the website Moms Who Drink and Swear as well as the author of Moms Who Drink and Swear: The Tales of Loving My Kids While Losing My Mind. As a licensed clinical professional counselor, Nikki delivers heapings of insightful advice, including the importance of not feeling victimized and taking care of yourself. Nikki shares a clever workout trick she learned from Pinterest. After reading from her sage essay from Tales from Another Mother Runner, the conversation takes a perhaps unexpected turn to caregiving, in all its myriad forms. (Here is link to The 5 Wishes resource Nikki highly recommends—Sarah has already ordered one for herself and both her siblings.)
After listening to this episode, the mother runners suspect you’ll start adopting the phrase, “throw down” into your vernacular. And perhaps you’ll make up a swear word cheat sheet like one of the mother runners did in her childhood. Find out which one!
