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.

WELCOME TO the "more than milestones" podcast

No topic is off-limitsbecause this journey is never one-dimensional, and it’s always more than milestones.

I'm getting real about what it took to trust my gut through years of doubt, comments, and exhausted nights, sleep trained or not, and why this is the first thing in parenting I have zero regrets about. If you're in the thick of sleepless nights right now or tired of people weighing in on your choices, this one's for you.

This also happens to be our season one finale, and I could not be more grateful for this community. Thank you for listening, sharing, and being here. If there's a topic, guest, or story you want next season, please send it my way 🙏

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.
