  • My go-to source for parenting advice, resources, and parasocial parent friends!

    I listen to every episode of this podcast- every Monday and Thursday- and I’m so grateful for it. I love that the panel is comprised of a variety of parenting roles, and I find I often identify with different voices depending on the topic.

    Elizabeth is giving Mary Poppins and gives me inspo for life organization and creative play ideas. Jamilah is so wonderfully candid about the challenges of work/life/family balance, and I appreciate how she distigmatizes THC as a tool to enhance parenting sk... more

  • The vocal fry is like nails on a chalkboard!

    I’m sorry but I have to skip the Jamila episodes. She’s a very good writer but just doesn’t have a voice for podcasting

  • Poor host

    What is up with Jamilah - why does she always sound like she has no energy and like she really doesn’t even want to be there? And has the worst vocal fry and ton of filler words? I really cannot listen to her. The other hosts are good and I do like the show overall.

  • Something for all parents

    I love this show. Particularly because I have a neurodivergent kid so it’s great to have one of the hosts who is across this, but honestly it’s so great for everything. Funny stories, culturally diverse, across ages and gender, it’s the best. Love you guys.
