  • My Go-To Parenting Podcast

    This podcast has helped me so much in my parenting journey. I love listening to it during all the contact naps and car drives trying to get my baby to sleep. It’s made me feel more confident, more informed, and honestly just more reassured that I’m doing okay. I really love how personal and vulnerable Billy and Nick are, it makes parenting feel so relatable and real. Thanks so much for everything you guys do
