  • Favorite podcast! So interesting

    I’m a huge fan of “how she moms”. Im interested in how people accomplish different tasks or approach different obstacles in motherhood and there’s always so many great ideas each episode.

    Plus I love her voice and piano music! Keep up the great work and relevant content.

  • Love this podcast so much!

    There is not one “right way” to mom, and Whitney proves that! She is such a great host. As a first time mom, I’m always wondering, “am I doing this the right way? How on earth do other moms do it?!” Listening to this podcast has given me so many wonderful ideas, tips, and tricks for my own mom-ing journey, and for that I am very grateful. It’s a must-listen!

  • Resourceful and efficient

    I greatly appreciate that the episodes get started immediately and they don’t have five or six minutes of time wasted at the beginning. She understands that moms don’t have a lot of time to waste and so she gets right to the point. She’s so resourceful and I love that she provides so many ideas and options that we can pick and choose from. This is one of the most efficient ways for me to think about and change my parenting practices.

  • Inspired

    I get so inspired by hearing all the tactics to tackling motherhood. After listening to the "how she reads" episode, I made changes and am using several of the ideas shared on "how to create a family reading culture.". This has been something I've wanted to do, but didn't know how to do more than I'm currently doing (my boys still won't read for fun). Thanks! Love this podcast.
