  • Thank you for making this!

    Honestly I never make reviews, but couldn’t help to let you know how thankful I am for your podcast Season 1.

    As I was heading back to work after 7 years off to care for my kids while they were young, I found there wasn’t any dialogue out there for me now. I was no longer a “stay at home mom” but didn’t feel like I fit in the “working mom” category because I didn’t return right back to work.

    Season 2 Episode 1

    Lucy is a really bad actress. That accent is so obviously fake. She can’t even keep it going for this podcast.

    So why isn’t Lucy in prison? If roles were reversed and the husband killed her, blacked out and suddenly speaks with a stupid, nonsensical inauthentic accent, he would be serving life in prison.

    Pick better topics. There are far worthier and more interesting stories to tell.
