I get so excited every time I see a new ep of Growing come out. You are both so beautifully spoken and your convos make me feel so seen in motherhood. Thank you!!
Love listening to you girls each week. I’m pregnant with number 3 and this always feels very real and relatable but also fills me with calmness after each listen. Thank you!
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
