  • a must-listen for all working moms!

    I love the realness of this podcast! Deborah has such a natural way of connecting to moms in a way that allows them to feel like they are truly heard and that their story matters. As a busy mom business owner, I find the episodes relatable and inspiring, and most importantly, I feel so less alone in the chaos of motherhood. Highly recommend all moms to give this podcast a listen!

  • A must listen for moms of littles

    This podcast provides an honest look at early motherhood and how becoming a mother changes women through the process of matrescence. While it is done through the lens of work, it’s a must listen for all new moms because they will find something relatable and something useful. Each mom interviewed lends a unique perspective and unique advice about becoming a mother and how it fits into real life and real relationships. This is a groundbreaking and much-needed podcast for moms!
