  • 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.

Dacher Keltner: The Science Behind Awe and Where to Find It
Q: What practical steps can people take to invite awe into daily life?
Pause from daily concerns, put away distractions, visit places or engage with art and people that evoke wonder, and allow yourself to be moved by moral beauty or the natural world.
Dacher Keltner: The Science Behind Awe and Where to Find It
Q: For listeners who have never heard about awe, how would you define it?
Awe is a brief emotional state that arises at the boundary of the known and the mysterious, often felt as tears or goosebumps, and it can shift how we see the world by expanding our sense of connection to something larger than ourselves.
Jessica Urlichs: The Poetry That Found Me in Motherhood
Q: If you could ask your mum one thing now, what would it be?
To hear the stories of her younger days—the jokes, the songs, the dreams she had, so I can understand the person she was beyond being my mother.
Jessica Urlichs: The Poetry That Found Me in Motherhood
Q: What was a hard lesson you learned from leaving home at 16?
That independence can come with a high cost, and it taught me the value of support networks and resilience in rebuilding plans later on.
