Each episode hosted by Hands Down Founder and CEO, Jenna Sereni, is helpful to Moms in at least one way - we'll try to make you laugh, answer parenting questions on your mind, make you feel seen and appreciated and, most of all, provide a community of shared experience and knowledge for Moms, by Moms.

Parenting can feel lonely, confusing, and frustrating, but also rewarding and life-changing in the best of ways.  When busy Moms need a minute to take a break, reflect and laugh a little, we're here for you.
