Wonderful hosts Loz and Lu tackle so many of modern life's tricky questions. They are kind and considered in their discussion style. They have excellent chemistry as pod hosts and overall address dilemmas with a positive lens. It's kind of like having a chat with your friends about the juggle of life, work and family without any fear or judgment.

Apple Podcasts5Noah MDAustralia4 months ago - A postpartum lifeline
I found this podcast in the depths of first-time motherhood, when an unexpected job opportunity landed in my lap and I was trying to figure out who I was in this completely new chapter of life.
The appreciation I have for it is unmatched. It hauled me out of a lonely little world of trying to balance postpartum life, a new baby and the return to work, and replaced it with a big, warm, community-minded hug.
Loz and Lu give voice to the realities of everyday mothering - a group that can often fe... more

What a relatable pod!!
I love how raw, down to earth and committed you are to the content and needs of your listeners, I’d listen to it every day if the eps kept coming!
You’re giving answers to questions I didn’t know needed answering and reassurance I didn’t know I needed.
