Welcome to Karen Feeding, the podcast where we get honest about parenting at every stage.

I'm Lucy Lopez. I host another podcast, the Mamasita Rica. I'm mother to Amelia who's 15,

Avery who's 12, and we live in Miami. I'm Elizabeth New Camp. I write the homeschool and family travel blog, Dutch Dutch goose.

I'm the mom to Henry who's 13, Oliver who's 11, and Teddy who's 8.

We live in Tokyo, Japan, for one last week.

a podcast hosted by Julian Savedra. He's the father of two and a public school assistant principal

with nearly 20 years of experience.
