  • Excellent!

    This show is top notch! Nothing about their discussions is superficial or stereotypical or lame, but just real life and nuanced and also very relatable. Yes it’s by two mums who discuss life as mums but they both address life’s ups and downs generally with or without kids really poignantly! J’dore!

    I feel far less stressed about what retur... more

  • So relatable

    Listened to my first ep and am disappointed I did not find your podcast sooner. Q&A episode was great and felt seen and heard. As a mum who is 9months post partum with my second bub returning to work in a few months was really validating to listen and know my feelings are felt by many! Thank you
