- Favourite Podcast - I listen every single week
I absolutely love this podcast and I listen every week I feel like I’m catching up with friends and the girls are so funny, but serious when they need to be they offer really good advice, they make me feel completely normal about some of the challenges I face as a parent and a step parent.

Absolutely love this show and listen every week but Really disappointed to hear Kate and Rio make comments such as man up and grow a pair.
Apple Podcasts11234b055United Kingdom5 months ago - Wow! Awesome resource for blended families
As a step-mom of 2 (and birth mom of 1), this podcast is not only cathartic but also gave me specific tactical ideas to implement in my own life. Love hearing women chat casually and specifically about the reality of blended families.

United States7 months ago - Love Kate, but she gets very overpowered
I really enjoy a lot of the podcast and almost always agree with Kate, but I find it disappointing how Kate will dilute her own opinions a lot as the conversations with the others go along and the others disagree strongly. I wish Kate would stick to her guns a bit more because I truly believe most listeners are willing her to because they agree with her. The latest episode was quite triggering. I have experience with adoption and I think the focus on “blood” being treated differently and that be... more
Apple Podcasts3LaurenElizaBeth9United Kingdoma year ago - Disappointed
Was really excited to listen to this podcast as I love Kate and her journey with Rio & the kids. But found it a difficult listen because everyone was talking over her. Very overbearing cohosts which meant I was getting frustrated listening. Felt they kept trying to force their opinion into the conversation (even though their opinion was valid it came across too much!).
Going to go back to the beginning and try listen to earlier ones as reviews seem to be better.
