We Didn’t Turn Out OK Joins the fwd. network

For Immediate Release: January 7, 2025

New York, NY – AdLarge, a leader in podcast advertising, is excited to announce the addition of "We Didn’t Turn Out OK with Jennie Monness" to the fwd. network. Hosted by Jennie Monness, a dynamic voice in parenting and child development, We Didn’t Turn Out OK is a fresh take on the parenting podcast genre, offering an authentic and supportive space for parents to share their everyday challenges, struggles, and victories. This new addition to the fwd. network reinforces our commitment to amplifying female voices who are shaping the future of media, particularly in the parenting space.

Jennie Monness, co-founder of Charmspring, a developmental children’s brand, and Union Square Play, a community-based parenting and play space, has created a trusted platform that empowers parents with the tools, resources, and support they need to thrive. Jennie’s passion for fostering connection and understanding in the parenting journey extends to her social media community on Instagram, where she offers real-time advice, insights, and a window into her life as a mom of two young children. Through We Didn’t Turn Out OK, Jennie continues to create space for authentic, judgment-free discussions about the realities of raising kids today.

We Didn't Turn Out OK takes listeners behind the scenes of those candid "mom coffee date" conversations—the kind of open, vulnerable talks that happen between parents when they let down their guard. Whether it’s navigating the challenges of balancing parenting with personal life, addressing difficult conversations with in-laws, or unpacking the everyday struggles that come with raising children, Jennie brings her experience and expertise to every episode. With a mix of solo episodes and interviews with real moms and dads, the show provides valuable advice and relatable stories to help parents feel more confident, connected, and supported.

Each episode of We Didn’t Turn Out OK is an open, honest, and sometimes humorous conversation about the ups and downs of parenting. Jennie’s blend of research-backed strategies, personal stories, and candid discussions helps parents understand their children better, while offering them the space to feel seen and heard. It’s a podcast that not only tackles the hard issues of parenting, but also celebrates the shared experiences that unite all parents.

Jennie Monness commented on the announcement, “Parenting can feel like an isolating journey, but it doesn’t have to. With We Didn’t Turn Out OK, I want to create a space where parents feel heard, supported, and prepared to face the challenges of raising children today. Joining the fwd. network allows us to expand that mission, elevating conversations that empower parents to embrace both the chaos and the magic of this journey.”

“We are thrilled to welcome We Didn’t Turn Out OK to the fwd. network,” added Cathy Csukas, CEO of the fwd. network. “Jennie Monness brings a fresh and vital voice to the parenting podcast space, offering genuine, relatable content that resonates with parents everywhere.
