  • Vaccines :(

    The vaccine episode does not tell the truth about vaccines and the vaccine injuries and adverse reactions that many children have. Parents, please do your own research and do not make decisions based on this episode.

  • Thank you for so much insightful content

    I have been struggling parenting my young family and found your podcast while searching for answers on Google. SEO did its thing. Arrived at your podcast and I’ve never felt better about myself . You gave me language to understand all the emotions I’m going through and the ones my children are going through. It has really helped me manage my emotions (not all the time) but many of your podcasts have me permission to not get it right all the time. Thank you from London, England

  • Love it

    Recently listened to the podcast on project based learning and it was so insightful. The way Dr. Sarah approaches these topics is so practical, organic and non-judgmental. Great job! (Or maybe I shouldn’t say that 🤣)
