    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.

    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.
