  • Changed my life

    I will never be able to repay Ginny for the ways this podcast has changed my life. I started listening in 2021, months after my first son was born. Things were so hard then - and I felt like a complete failure. Listening to Ginny tell her own story literally saved me (as I had never heard of anyone admitting to feelings like that before) and I decided getting outside made so much sense for me and my kid (eventually kids) too.

    Now I work part time at our local Timbernook - and try to soak in, c... more

  • THANK YOU!

    Ginny,

    You have been the voice in my ear, my companion through our first few months of homeschooling. We have 4 children (ages 1 year to 5 years). Each of your guests and conversations have taught me something new. I constantly think how fortunate I am to have found this podcast when I did, while my children are still so young. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and the wisdom of others! You have made a huge difference for my family and me as we navigate a difficult but beautiful stage in our li... more

  • The Podcast I Wish I Could Share with Every New Mom

    I have learned so much from this podcast. Comparing my daughter now to back before I listened to this podcast I see a huge change. Ginny and her guests have taught me how to make changes in parenting my daughter. She is more resilient, happier, and we have a better relationship. I was literally doing everything wrong when she was young. The changes I’ve been empowered to make based on this podcast has changed my life and hers. Ginny doesn’t know it but she gave my daughter the childhood she dese... more
