As a midwife and a woman deep in the TTC era I absolutely love this podcast, it’s like chatting to two besties while I’m walking the dog or cooking. I love that it feels like my family will be (hopfully) growing along side yours. Thank you for your candour and comedy, we love you xx

Apple Podcasts5Brooke287Australia4 months ago - A year growing
I started listening to growing early 2025. At first I was just a causal listener and as the episodes kept coming my love for growing grew. It has been such a delight to listen to Beth and Lilly every Wednesday. I also have two girls 5 and 1 and relate so much to all the topics and weekly growing pains and glimmers. Very excited to listen in 2026. And thank you for sharing so generously with us each week. It’s so kind and inspiring. ❤️❤️❤️
