    I have listened to the podcast from the beginning and don’t

    think I have missed an episode. The Coulsons are brilliant parenting role models, with sensible science-backed advice paired with vulnerability and real life experiences and discussions. Keeping the episodes short means you can listen each day without being overwhelmed trying to fit in lengthy discussions. Hugely relatable and I love the focus on reducing screen time.

    Thank you for reminding me that saying no is okay, As a mum of a 14 year old without a mobile phone and an 11 year old not on Roblox, I am reminded at times that I’m the “world’s worst mum”. But listening to your podcast over the years, and having had the joy of meeting you in person, Justin has given me the strength to remember why I say no. Some days the battles are hard, and I don’t feel like the ally my kids want but I will always stand strong as the mum they NEED!

    Reasoned and thoughtful advice given through laughter, stories and easy to understand explanations. I’ve been listening to this podcast for over a year now. It has changed the way I parent and I now have amazing relationships with each of my kids and my husband despite the many dramas and inconsistencies of everyday life. Many thanks to Kylie and Justin, don’t stop doing what you’re doing!

  • Bit of a shift recently..

    I’ve enjoyed listening to the podcast for over a year now but in the last month or so I feel like we are hearing less of Kylie and a lot more of Dr. Justin. You captivated me with your back and forth conversations initially. As a fellow mum, I love hearing Kylie’s perspective just as much as Dr Justin’s words of wisdom.
