Moms, how did you know you were done having kids? Or maybe you’re still deciding if your family is complete. Truth is, there is no one who can answer that question but you. Frances Largeman-Roth had three kids in her 30’s, along with a booming career as a registered dietician nutritionist, an author, and a TV contributor. Even with a very full life, the pull to have another child never left and she gave birth to her fourth baby at the age of 50! We chatted with Frances about what it took, both physically and emotionally, to bring her dream baby earthside. She also teaches us how to stay healthy and vibrant so we can all keep up with our growing kids. Frances is an open book and shares:- the process of choosing an egg donor to become pregnant - her daughter’s unexpected birth story that included surgery at just 2 days old- the (priceless) self-assuredness that comes with being an experienced mom- the shift in family dynamics as her older kids adjusted to a new baby (hint: it got rocky!)- Frances’ strategy for longevity in our 40’s, 50’s and beyond-from sunscreen to fiber intake to the supplements she swears byBe sure to follow Frances @franceslrothrd and check out her website franceslargemanroth.comFind us at thelocalmomsnetwork.comFollow us on IG @thelocalmomsnetworkSend us your ideas for our next podcast!Email demetra@thelocalmomsnetwork.com

Hosted by Demetra Ganias-a writer and mother of three who’s navigating the same daily realities-MomCast is a conversation from the trenches of modern parenting. This podcast, from the Local Moms Network, moves beyond simple tips to explore the nuanced, often unspoken layers of family life, culture, and society that shape our days. Demetra guides honest talks with both leading experts and fellow moms who get it, tackling questions about child development, personal identity, and the balancing act that rarely feels balanced. The dialogue here is less about perfect answers and more about shared understanding, offering perspectives that resonate whether you’re in the car line or stealing a quiet moment. It’s a space where the complexities of raising kids intersect with everything else, acknowledging that motherhood is as much about the world we’re preparing our children for as it is about the snack currently ground into the car seat. Tune in for a genuine, sometimes messy, but always connecting look at this defining chapter. You’ll find a sense of community in this podcast, a feeling that someone is putting words to your own experience, making the journey feel a little less solitary and a lot more seen.
