  • Wonderful podcast!!

    Not a mum but a nanny and an auntie, this show has helped in so many ways, from helping with mental/physical health, and being a better nanny, to giving me just something to break up the silence of some of my days. I LOVED DA and I’m learning so much from you both on Life Academy, it’s all so much appreciated!!

    I feel sorry for any female who thinks learning from and listening to these two females is a good idea… there are many other podcasts delivering higher quality information on the same topics.

  • Love life academy!

    Life academy is so enjoyable and lovely to listen to, I’m always sad when it’s over! It never drags and each episode is packed with both funny and wise moments, and the relationship between Dena and Alicia is really special. I came as a fan of Dance Academy, but am staying to hear their take on any life topic!
