Episode #14: A Holly Jolly STL Holiday with Diana Waldman

STL Mom Episode 14

Rebekah Coste is back to host the Moms of the Lou podcast! In this episode, Rebekah welcomes Diana Waldman, a St. Louis native and mother of three, to discuss the holiday season. Diana shares her love for the holidays, highlighting traditions like attending the Nutcracker and making cinnamon cookies. They discuss various holiday activities in St. Louis, including Zoo Lights, Winter Wonderland, and the Missouri Botanical Garden's Glow. Diana emphasizes the importance of having mom friends and balancing holiday activities with rest of family life.

A native St. Louisan, Diana lives in Clayton with her husband, young son, two daughters, and two dogs. She has her Bachelor’s degree in Anthropology, which she uses as an excuse to be nosy regarding other people’s lives. She left a career in legal marketing to work part-time from home and focus on her babies (furry and otherwise). Her current parenting mantras are: “I can do it all, just not all at once,” and “It will probably be fine?” Diana gets her kicks by going for long runs, reading a mix of high-brow and low-brow literature, and seeking out activities her whole family (including the puppies!) can enjoy around town.
