  • Great podcast xx

    This was such a lovely podcast to listen to. Thank you, girls x - I was guided here after listening to Cressida talk to Julia Samuel about grief (excellent podcast too) My son, Charlie, was at school when v young with both Cressida and Gabriella and it is so wonderful to see what empathetic and kind, gentle and beautiful women they have become. This is a great podcast.

  • Warm, Tender, escapism

    I am so glad I found this podcast. I have only listened to the Clover Stroud one so far and teared up multiple times. As a mother to an 18 month old daughter, Clover's description of the love you feel for your children resonated with me so much. A great podcast to make you reflect on your relationship with your own mother and your children, and pure warmth. I have been trying to consume more positive media with everything going on in this scary world at the moment - this is definitely it.
