  • Dip in and out- amazing!

    This is the best podcast that I didn’t know that I needed. These different subject podcasts are so relevant to anyone with preteens or teens to just dip in and out when you’re faced with a challenging situation, which lets be honest happens about five times a week with teenagers. Educational, relatable, engaging with presenters and guests that are nonjudgemental. A fresh perspective and a little coparent in your pocket!! Fantastic!!

  • Every parent should listen

    I have gained so many insights into being a parent, what my teens are going through and what they’re likely to go through. It’s reinforced my views but also given me a new perspective on what I could be doing differently. So many different subjects all handled in a very non judgmental and sensitive way. Thank you so much, every parent should listen to your podcasts.
