🎙 By Your Side — the podcast for the parenting journey, from pregnancy to preschool.

Hosted by Katie Barron, "By Your Side" is where science, soul, and support meet you right where you are.

Each episode features honest conversations with researchers, practitioners, and parents about what it really means to raise a small human — and stay (somewhat) human yourself.

Whether you're on a 3 a.m. feed, pacing the kitchen with a crying baby, or just needing a moment of "me too" — this is for you.

By Your Side has been a lifesaver during my parenting journey. Highly recommend for new parents!

A young child with short, dark hair and a small decorative mark on their forehead is wearing a bright pink top with black lettering and dark jeans. They are held gently by an adult's hand adorned with rings and bracelets, complementing the child’s bracelets. The background is neutral and unobtrusive.
