Reviews
- Favourite parenting podcast
I started listening to this podcast when I found I out I was pregnant at the start of 2023 and have since binged all the episodes because the hosts are super relatable, funny and easy to listen to. I’m either learning something new or feel a sense of solidarity when listening. To any person on their pregnancy or parenting journey I cannot recommend this podcast enough.

United Kingdoma month ago - A must listen for pregnancy and parenting
I started listening to BFP at the beginning of my pregnancy and loved the weekly format. I listened every morning during my hour long commute. I truly believe that my fetus got used to hearing Laura and Shanna’s voices so after she was born any time we rode in the car she’d immediately fall asleep when I turned on BFP. Not only do I love the relatability and great advice, but they are also to thank for my long commutes to daycare going smoothly with a sleeping baby. Keep up the amazing work!

United States2 months ago - My favorite podcast
I discovered this podcast in 2021 when I was pregnant with my first and quickly binged each episode. Now with my second I am re-listening to each episode week by week. Now I get 2 episodes a week! Shanna and Laura feel like real friends, they keep me laughing and feeling good and sane during this crazy experience we all call parenting.

This show makes Mondays better! As a mom I just love that sometimes it’s super funny, sometimes serious, & always real life. Shana & Laura will become your besties, whether you’re newly pregnant or in the trenches of toddlerhood! I highly recommend to all my friends, 5 stars!!

This podcast has been a constant, go-to companion from early pregnancy through the first year of my daughter’s life. Huge thanks for alternately keeping me company, helping me relax to sleep, and making me laugh. It’s not an exaggeration to say you content and delivery has improved the quality of my life over the past 2 years. Much love and appreciation!
