- God Send
This podcast has been a God send for me. The podcast host understands your feelings and doesn’t make you feel guilty for having them. She also understands how frustrating and difficult it is to communicate with teenagers. Other podcasts I listened to inferred that I wasn’t trying hard enough to connect and communicate with my teen as though I hadn’t been struggling to do so. Thank you, thank you for this excellent podcast!
