  • Thank you Jayde

    I am loving this podcast lately. The Friday ep is the first podcast I choose to listen to on my commute. Love hearing Jayde open up and be so vulnerable. She makes me feel less alone and is truly inspiring. She absolutely makes the podcast and I wouldn’t listen if she wasn’t there. I love how she is authentically herself and has lots of life experience to share.

  • The girlfriends I never had

    Sophie and Jayde are just so fun to listen to and the topics are so relatable, and guests are specialists that educates mums like me. My fav is this new episode of Dr. Fatima Khan. Good discussion of perimenopause and young kids and societal issues expectations crucify us mum. Why are we so hard on ourselves??? Love this channel! I listen to this every time I take my bub for walking nap.
