- Friendly mums group in your ears
Genuinely feel like I’m hanging out with mum group friends. Love the authenticity of each episode and the raw and real of motherhood. I really enjoy listening to episodes on my pram walks, keeping me company. Such a good podcast, thank you for keeping on while both in the newborn trenches 💕

Australiaa month ago - So genuine and comforting to listen to
This is my favourite podcast. I really look forward to listening every week. I’m in a very similar stage of life with my children being similar ages. I had my second bub two months before the hosts so I am finding the content right now so relatable and comforting to listen to. I often catch myself smiling and nodding along. It’s so reassuring to hear honest perspectives of motherhood, and definitely makes me feel less alone sometimes.
Apple Podcasts5Loves a parenting podcastAustralia2 months ago - Easy and educational listening!
I have been a glimmer girl listener for 3 years. I originally found the pod when I was trying to conceive and I found Beth to be informative and easy to listen to. Fast forward and I now have two boys (a 2 yr old and a 3 mth old) and I love how the pod has grown with Lil coming on board. I love the candid chats with the girls, the birth stories and the advice along the way. It really is like listening and giggling along with your girlfriends. Highly recommend to anyone in the TTC, pregnancy, pos... more
