Summary

It’s a special day in the world of The Bad Broadcast— Coco's first birthday! Today, I’m sharing a heartfelt reflection on the wild, beautiful, and sometimes messy journey of my first year as a mom. From getting lost in motherhood to finding myself in unexpected ways, I’ll talk about balancing my needs with the fear of seeming selfish.

Then, we’re diving headfirst into the holiday season with some festive fun! We’re talking about the best and worst Christmas movies, songs, foods, and traditions that make this time of year so magical. Whether you’re wrapping presents, sipping hot cocoa, or hiding from family drama, let's get cozy.

So grab your Santa hat and tune in—it’s time to celebrate life, love, and the most wonderful time of the year!
