  • The BEST podcast ever

    I had my first baby in June 2021 and this podcast got me through postpartum. I have listened to every episode at least once ,and love every single one of them. I feel like I’m getting together with a couple of friends on a Monday night to chatabout mom hood. My kids are a little bit younger than yours so I often refer back to older episodes to get advice and it’s been so great. Thanks for all you do!

  • Loooove you guys!

    A Must-Listen for Parents and Parents-to-Be!

    BFP is hands-down one of the best parenting podcasts out there. Hosts Shanna and Laura bring an incredible mix of humor, honesty, and heart as they share their journeys of becoming moms together. Their friendship shines through in every episode, making it feel like you’re chatting with your best friends who just get it. When I talk to my husband or friends about something I heard on the podcast I say “my friends from California”.

    The podcast covers e... more

  • You ladies are my bfp each week 🤍

    This is my absolute favorite podcast. I binged it when I was pregnant a few years ago, and now save it as a treat every week. You ladies are amazing storytellers, and I truly look up to you as a newer mama. Thank you for all you do! We love you! 🥰
