Honestly, I want to have these conversations with mum too and I want to do same for my daughters and my nieces. This is a great podcast that encourages us to just love our kids and not be scared to show them. Thank you

I’m binge listening to this podcast from the start and I love it! Each person who writes in has their own story to tell, even the sad stories are uplifting and positive in some way. A brilliant, original theme for a podcast.

United Kingdom7 months ago - Must-hear for anyone with kids, especially daughters
As a dad to twin daughters, I listen to this regularly and find it a space where I can hear people whose lives, joys and anxieties are similar to mine. Being a dad is a such a complex thing. I hope to write such letters to my daughters someday.

India2 years ago Enjoyable, warm conversations about a wide range of topics. The host and the guests are thoughtful, sharing insights about their lives, hopes, and struggles. A great listen not just for the imagined (or in some cases real) daughters, but for sons, parents, and extended family, as well. Glad to have found this podcast!
