  • Please keep to non-political commentary

    I have listened to this podcast for the levity of the conversations. I have read and enjoyed books by both authors.

    I appreciate that this podcast had provided a break from politically charged commentary. Today’s episode changed that opinion for me. The discussion about the outspoken opposition to the change in Cracker Barrel was, in my opinion, a conversation better suited to a personal conversation between friends. I have never been to a CB so it isn’t my battle. Have you considered that... more

    This is my very favorite podcast! I have been listening for almost 10 years now. Sophie and Melanie bring joy to my life every week. I love their humor and candor. I’m a parent of young kids and I really enjoy and appreciate their perspective. I love the fashion and beauty recommendations too. I also subscribe to Patreon and look forward to it always. I just love them both so much and they feel like dear friends!!

  • I’d Love Big Boo Even More If…

    I have listened from the beginning and really look forward to Thursday releases. Love the sports talk, following along on the child-rearing journeys, your books, guests, 5 Favorites… love it all! Such creative, funny, relatable, dear women with heart! I confess that I occasionally take a break from listening when I find that I am no longer paying attention to the content because I’m so distracted by how frequently and unnecessarily Melanie says “like” and “um.” I love the podcast and would love ... more

  • Feeling Meh 🫤 But Hopeful

    I have loved this podcast and listened every week for years. Just as any show with a long run time, this one has jumped the shark for me. I’m all for monetizing what’s available to you, but so many advertisers and the EXPENSIVE five favorite lists have taken the ladies into the shallow end of inspiring and encouraging us.

    I realize the life of an empty nester is different in every way but as someone who comes to be enriched by the knowledge and life experiences of mature women this now seems lik... more
