Got Twins? Us too! This show is created by parents of twins FOR parents of twins from expecting times through the teenage years and everything in between. Just know that we are laughing WITH you every step of the way.
In this episode, I chat with Kerri Otto—a twin mom, author, and advocate for parents of multiples—about her remarkable journey from pregnancy surprises to publishing her first children’s book.
Kerri opens up about the shock of learning she was expecting twins, the challenges of a high-risk pregnancy, and the emotional rollercoaster of discovering her girls were actually identical after doctors initially told her otherwise. She shares candidly about bed rest, navigating fears of viability, and the community of twin parents who supported her along the way.
We dive into what it’s really like raising identical twins—the attention, the misconceptions, and the struggle to protect their individuality—while also celebrating the magic and “enchantment” that surrounds them. Kerri also talks about the inspiration behind her book The Twin Enchanted Tales, how she carved out time to write while parenting three young kids, and why finishing creative projects can leave a lasting legacy for your family.
Whether you’re a parent of twins, curious about the twin experience, or someone chasing a passion project of your own, this conversation is filled with honesty, encouragement, and a whole lot of twin magic.
