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.

Perimenopause isn’t a sudden switch, it’s a gradual shift that can begin years before most women realize what’s happening. I sit down with Dr. Amy Shah, double board certified MD and nutrition expert, to unpack what perimenopause actually is, why women’s symptoms have historically been misunderstood in medicine, and how to feel empowered instead of blindsided during this transition. Together, we reframe this season of life as an opportunity to build strength, resilience, and long term health from the inside out.

Some conversations need more nuance.
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. The moments I don’t have fully wrapped up in a bow. The 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.
