  • Overuse of “like”

    Dr. Lisa uses ‘like’ too often. It would be great if she could speak more clearly and concisely.

  • What’s with the whispering?

    Lovely substance but the whispering is very distracting. It sounds like they are trying not to wake the baby

  • Lisa is great, but she needs a new sidekick

    Reena Ninan may be talented, but she’s an obnoxious cohost. She fakes dumb, talks down to the parenting audience, and I find myself skipping over anything she has to say.

  • Thank you!

    I love this podcast as a helpful guide as my children are about to enter their teenage years. Dr. Lisa Damour helps me differentiate between normal pre-teen behavior and things that are more concerning. Your variety of topics are wonderful and I find myself searching for past shows to address specific issues as they arise. Thank you for sharing your expertise.
