More Than Milestones

THE PODCAST

Hosted by pediatric physical therapist, wife and mom of three, Dr. KC Rickerd, More Than Milestones is the podcast that goes beyond baby checklists and dives deep into real motherhood, real development, real relationships, and everything in between.

Whether you're supporting your baby's motor development, navigating big kid emotions, or navigating a new stage of life & parenting, this show blends expert-backed education with the honest, unfiltered reality of motherhood.

Each week, KC brings you conversations with trusted professionals— pediatricians, therapists, sleep and feeding experts, mental health pros, and more-plus raw, relatable stories from fellow moms and caregivers. No pressure to be perfect. Just honest conversations, support, humor, and community for the journey you're on.

If you're looking for clarity, connection, and a reminder that while supporting our children's development is important, so is supporting ourselves - you're in the right place, because it's always more than milestones.
