I listen to a lot of parenting podcasts and this is one of the only ones that discusses going that extra mile with so many choices like cosleeping (or lying with a toddler until they fall asleep), breastfeeding as long as possible, reading books, being present for play with a toddler even when we feel exhausted from a newborn. These women are humble and funny and incredibly relatable.
Listening to growing is somewhere between catching up with mum friends and getting free therapy. I’ve never felt so seen
Every single time I listen to this podcast, it feels like an encompassing, warm hug from the most beautiful mum friends. So relatable and insightful. You’re not alone while these two ladies are in your ears, sharing their experiences and golden nuggets of advice ❤️ please keep doing what you’re doing Beth and Lil xx
Love this podcast so so much. It feels like I’m hanging out with the most joyful, real, compassionate women who just champion each other and are happy to wade through the mud together whilst simultaneously riding the highs together. Appreciate you both very much Beth and Lil!
I always get excited when it’s a Wed and a new ep has dropped. Love this podcast!
