About the Podcast
Kid You Not is a podcast for parents who work in restaurants and bars. It's real, honest, raw conversations about the parts of parenting that don't stop just because your shift does.
Here we cover the everyday things: meal prep, car seat escapes, relationships/ marriages, and bedtime routines. We also discuss advocacy and policy literacy with topics such as paid leave, pregnancy rights and advocating for yourself and others in the work place.
You'll hear from chefs, bartenders, doctors, policy experts, and more.
It's everything I wish someone had told me. Welcome to Kid You Not.

Most parent’s in the food and beverage industry don’t have access to paid leave. This fund will support seed grants that will be issued recipients in 2027 to assist in basic needs for their expanding families. They will also receive access to our Welcome to Parenthood guide with additional opportunities for support.
