  • Alana’s sounds need to stop

    The topics being discussed on this podcast are great. Also love the different angles. Can Alayna please stop making noises when thinking over what the others were saying? It’s making me not wanting to listen. Please stop.

  • A must listen

    I have been listening to this podcast since the beginning, and it has been a source of comfort and laughter through both the tough and joyous times, and particularly when I was far from my own chosen family. Very grateful to Ashley, Alayna, and Mak for the care they continue to put into this important work.
