Hi everyone – I’m WKYC TV’s Maureen Kyle, the morning anchor here at 3 News…but also the mother of 3 kids. Juggling work and home life is hard … I do a lot of stories covering parenthood, but it always seems like we barely scratch the surface of the everyday issues we face. So, we here at 3News decided – our “Mom Squad” needs a Podcast! That’s how “Mom Squad Pod” was born. Get ready to tap into our area’s best psychologists, parenting experts and friends to get the best advice on raising our kids. We’ll tackle topics like behavior issues, relationships with friends and how to keep our sanity. You know the saying “it takes a village”…well, we’re calling it a squad and we want YOU to be a part of it. That includes you, too, Dads. Here’s Mom Squad Pod!
