  • Wanted it to be good

    Started strong but as it has gone on, an overt religious thread has appeared throughout the episodes that I just did not sign up for.

  • 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.
