Parenting is hard, but it's even harder when you feel alone and have only the sounds of Cocomelon to keep you company. Childproof is a parenting chat show for when you’re craving adult conversation.

    Even before having my daughter I’ve loved hearing the opinions of Gwenna and Tori as it helped me navigate working with children at my job. Now, I have a new appreciation as my daughter just turned 2 a few months ago. I look forward to the laughs, the perspectives, and feeling like I belong in a community of families just trying to do the best they can for their kids.

  • Lovely people, lovely pod!

    This is one of my comfort podcasts, I absolutely love these two and would listen to them talk about literally anything. The parenting advice is of course excellent but is really just a bonus, I just wanna hang out with them every week.
