  • Two kids later

    This podcast was so uplifting when going through the fertility journey with my partner. Two kids later and I keep coming back for more. Other non-parent lesbian podcasts are great but I appreciate the relatability of this so much more.

  • A great host

    This was by far the most relaxed and enjoyable interview I have yet to do for a podcast. More importantly, I immediately felt a kinship with Jaimie and her audience about creating the safest and most empowering world possible for all of our kids. Thank you for your service to the LGBTQ+ community specifically and to families of any kind.
