S1 E05 I Lauren | Parenting between the cultures: Seeing Berlin through a kid's lens

In this episode, we sit down with Lauren Kelleher, an American mom, music educator, and the creator of Berlin Baby Explorer. Before making Berlin her home, Lauren lived in different cities across the U.S. and around the world, including Ghana and Japan. And she chose the city as the place where she gave birth to and is raising her son, Levi. In this episode we talk about: • Moving around the world and why Lauren chose Berlin to start her family • What Berlin offers families and why it’s a great place to raise kids • Her pregnancy, birth, and postpartum experience in Berlin • Raising a bilingual child and navigating multiple cultures • The challenges and joys of parenting without extended family nearby • How Berlin Baby Explorer was born and became a resource for parents • Building an international parent community in Berlin • Lauren’s favorite kid-friendly spots around Berlin • Indoor spots for those days when Berlin forgets it’s supposed to be summer 😄 Lauren's instagram: @berlinbabyexplorer --- Oops Parents is a videocast and content series for international parents navigating pregnancy and parenthood in Germany.
