Not Fit for the Feed: confessions and conversations of parenting through the hard stuff

by Brettne Taylor Shootman

Not Fit for the Feed is a podcast for parents who are in the thick of it — the stuff that doesn't make it onto social media. Hosted by Brettne Shootman, a former teacher and mother of four, this narrative memoir podcast tells the real, messy, lived experience of a family quietly surviving addiction, mental health crises, international adoption, and trauma — and the kind of parenting moments that leave you wondering if you're doing any of it right. Brettne isn't a therapist or an expert. She's someone who has lived through a lot and learned even more — and she believes that when we stop hiding our stories, they lose their power over us. If you've ever felt completely alone in your parenting, this show is for you.
