  • Practical and comforting advice

    I love this podcast- plus I’ve read the book. These presenters cover real life topics that have and still do guide my lonely, struggling years of having teens. Highly recommended! The last eat episode of how your relationship changes and want you will and won’t miss was so true. I can’t wait for more episodes

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

SUMMER LISTENING: A New Co-Parenting Rule & The 100% Work Dilemma
Q: Do you think it's true that you cannot give 100% to your job once you become a mother?
It's really hard to give 100% to anything once you become a mother because you're always thinking about your responsibilities at home.
Little Love Stories: Three Daughters, One Bond
Q: What do you think that is?
Seeing her as a mother deepened my love for Cleo, seeing how beautiful she is with Indi and how much Luke loves her. I just see her on a different level now.
Little Love Stories: Three Daughters, One Bond
Q: Can you explain what happens in that video and then how you felt when you found out?
Cleo gave a gift to my husband and it was a onesie. We all knew that meant Cleo was pregnant. My husband thought it was for the dog, and the reaction was the family just went crazy with excitement once they realized.
Little Love Stories: Three Daughters, One Bond
Q: Anna, can you tell me what you remember the most about the day that you became a mother?
It was long and tedious. When Cleo came out, I just actually could not believe that I made a person. I knew I was going to have a baby, but until I looked at her and went, oh my god, it's actually a real baby. It just blew me away.
Little Love Stories: Libby Trickett’s Hardest Day Wasn’t In The Pool
Q: What would you say to a new mother who feels they are in a bad mental health period?
All I can say is that it does end and you're not alone; it's a tough moment but you will come out stronger.
