Every time I listen to this show I cry. I cry from the relief of hearing all the things I have struggled with in silence spoken aloud. I cry for the younger me, the new mother that did not have access to these discussions and felt so lost and conflicted. I cry to release the bottled up emotions of shame and anger that I have been afraid to acknowledge and for all of us that are feeling the same. I cry like a child coming home to a safe place and a warm embrace after a long lonely journey. A... more
This is the only podcast I could literally listen to over and over. I’ve learned to much about finding that divine feminist I have buried deep within me. I talk about this stuff with my partner all day even when he just wants to enjoy his morning coffee. Honestly I will talk to anyone who will listen about these topics. Some of these really hit close to home and if not my home, definitely, the home of someone I care about. I can’t wait to see what these ladies come up with for the next season.

The bebo babes are some of my favorite humans. I could sit and listen to them all day. The energy that they give off is great. The way they talk to each other is great. Everything about them and the podcast is great. They talk about the things that are important…the things that we need to hear. 10/10 one of my favorite podcasts! ❤️

Listening to the bebo mia podcast is like sitting on the front porch with your best friend, feeding off each other’s energy and passion to save the world. I love that this podcast talks about big issues like the patriarchy, cultural differences, social justice, and stigma— and how all of it comes back to the reproductive justice mission of bebo mia. Can’t express enough how much I love these conversations with people who feel like my best friends!
Thank you for giving a voice to all the things woman feel and never say!!
The bebo mia team might as well be your own personal hype team. The topics are raw and so personal to much of the population going through some crappy societal norms that need to be broken down! The bebo babes are doing just that! 10/10!
Can’t wait for what’s to come - more please!
Cannot wait for this g of a podcast to launch next month! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

It is the best podcast if you need to fuel your rage and power and give you love for your soul! This is going to be the best! I can't wait for the next season to come out! IT is amazing!!
