  • Ugh

    I’ve been listening to this podcast for years but lately I can’t get over how much Amy interrupts Abby. It is constant. Maybe it’s the editing but it seems like Abby never gets to actually make her points because Amy dominates the conversations. It’s very distracting and feels a little preachy.

  • Ob.Sess.Ed

    I’m new here, as I am a mom of two young humans, a wife, and in a mental space of wanting to better myself for the people in my life.

    I am catching up on all episodes from the very beginning. This podcast is so reassuring that the experience of being a Woman in today’s world is universal! Their vulnerability is beautiful.

  • The real deal

    These ladies are the real deal!!! They are so genuine and open. I feel like they’re my friends since I listen regularly and love their personal stories. They are honest and don’t sugarcoat things, but come across so kind all the time. They also have great guests and episode topics. I especially enjoyed the recent “comparison” episode. Very relevant and appropriate for my phase of life. Here are all the gold stars for you two!!!
