- Excellent as ever
I really enjoy your podcast. Your choice of guest is so refreshing. I love that they’re not always someone you’ve heard of but that everyone has a really special and important story to tell. I love that all the guests are so relaxed and your interview style is like being part of a really cosy chat. Amanda Ross this week was brilliant, what a story so well told, love her honesty. Have a great Christmas. Looking forward to what 2026 brings xxx

Hi I love your podcast and listen to each one. Have you ever thought of interviewing a man as there will be certain situations where a man is bringing up children ion there own and having to juggle a job etc. Just thought it would be interesting from their point of view, I am posting this as a female. I do not recall you have spoken to a man and apologise if you have done this already. Again love the podcast.
Apple Podcasts5Water1971United Kingdoma year ago - Likeable
Sophie is so likeable and gets the most out of each guest. She really listens to what they have to say & is both funny and personable. I would like to hear more stories about queer parenting. Also some more POC voices would be great as the podcast is very white. Overall, a really entertaining listen. Gotta admire Sophie’s work ethic.

Wonderful Podcast! Thanks! ⭐️🌟Great companion for Parents, really appreciate the podcast. So empowering! I have started listening back to older 2020 episodes too and can’t thank this podcast enough for speaking too and introducing me to the names and stories of powerful and inspirational Mothers. I’m taking the mantras of many of the guests and it is really making me a better and stronger Mother and Person. Wonderful and such a positive ace podcast
