Real motherhood. Real development. Real relationships. Everything in between.
Hi, I’m KC Rickerd, pediatric physical therapist, wife, and mom of three, and this is More Than Milestones. This podcast goes beyond baby checklists to talk about real motherhood, real development, real relationships, and everything in between.
Whether you’re supporting your baby’s motor milestones, navigating big kid emotions, or stepping into a new season of parenting yourself, I blend expert-backed education with the honest, unfiltered reality of motherhood. Each week, I bring you conversations with trusted professionals—pediatricians, therapists, sleep and feeding experts, mental health pros—along with raw, relatable stories from fellow moms and caregivers.
There’s no pressure to be perfect here. Just clarity, connection, humor, and support for the journey you’re on—because it’s always more than milestones.

Feeling unsure about tongue ties or overwhelmed by conflicting advice? In this roundtable conversation, I’m joined by three experts in pediatric feeding, swallowing, and breastfeeding medicine to unpack one of the most talked about topics in parenting right now: tethered oral tissues. We talk about what tongue ties actually are, when they matter, and why so many parents feel pushed toward quick decisions without fully understanding their options.

Inside my paid Substack podcast, I share the even more behind-the-scenes realities of motherhood: the guilt, the marriage tension, the advocacy, the identity shifts, the growth that’s uncomfortable but necessary.
This is where I talk about the things I’m still actively navigating, moments I don’t have fully wrapped up in a bow, and questions I’m still wrestling with.
If you want the deeper layer of these conversations, this is it.
The conversations I can’t always have on the public feed.
