  • It’s just…. Not well made

    Some of the content is valuable, but I can’t get past the delivery. She sounds like she’s reading and unsure of herself. The ads in her voice are even worse. Introducing some professionalism into the production would help a lot. It leaves me feeling like she doesn’t really know what she’s talking about.

  • So many sponsor breaks

    I want to listen to this content but I have never heard a podcast with sponsor breaks so frequent, every few minutes. At this rate I will just find the info somewhere else.

  • Good but too many ads

    This podcast provides a lot of good information but I feel like I’m skipping an ad every few minutes. I understand you need to make money for your work but maybe frontload them or just do one big ad break in the middle to improve the listener experience.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Adam Grant + Dr. Aliza: The Real Science of Effective Parenting
Q: What is the job of a parent?
To raise human beings who feel worthy for who they are and who can contribute to the world, while also maintaining a good relationship with them.
Dating After Divorce: What to Tell Your Kids and When
Q: How should blunt questions from kids be handled?
Acknowledge the question as normal, validate the curiosity, reassure your love for them, and explain boundaries by saying some topics are for grown-ups and privacy is important, while keeping communication open for follow-up questions over time.
Dating After Divorce: What to Tell Your Kids and When
Q: When is the right time to tell your kids that you're dating?
Wait varies by child and age, but generally consider waiting about a year after divorce; with younger kids you may delay further, and when you do discuss it, introduce the idea gradually, framing dating as dating or getting to know adults, not a serious step that requires immediate family approval.
Dating After Divorce: What to Tell Your Kids and When
Q: How do parents separate their own timeline from their child's needs?
Acknowledge that your grief and dating timeline are different from your child's experience; keep discussions developmentally appropriate, and plan for a period (often about a year) before you introduce dating to children, while ensuring the child's emotional world is respected and supported.
Perimenopause Starts Earlier Than You Think — What Every Mom Needs to Know Now
Q: When is hormone therapy appropriate for perimenopause, and how does it differ from birth control pills?
Hormone therapy is used to stabilize hormones during perimenopause and protect bone and brain health, with estrogen plus or minus progesterone depending on individual risk. Birth control pills are for contraception and can be used in short-term scenarios but are not the same as menopausal hormone therapy.
