  • Sad

    I’ve never written a review before but was so sad to hear your support for what you called student activists. You can support Palestine and students who are protesting in a meaningful way but to say what students are doing is positive is really disappointing. I didn’t realize destroying a building is a positive thing. Sad to unfollow this show but can’t support someone that supports that.

  • Relatable and fun

    I have loved getting to know Sarah and Abby! They are fun, honest, relatable, and intelligent. I love that their friendship is the basis for the show and that they touch on parenting but also a variety of other topics. The episodes are short and sweet and leave me wanting more!

  • 2 years listening, still loving!

    I happened upon this podcast almost 2 years ago and I’m still enjoying it. I love how well edited it is and how consistent the segments are. I greatly enjoy the conversation and look forward to each new episode. The books are always a favorite for new ideas and I absolutely love the recent “parenting wins and fails”. These girls validate so much that young moms are experiencing and I’m grateful for it to be in my ear!
