United States10 months ago - Not much substance
Listened to sleep episode and it was not helpful at all. Lacking substance just a bunch of platitudes like “don’t compare yourself” and “all kids are different”
Apple Podcasts1Nancy445567United States2 years ago - BEST podcast for expecting mamas!
I discovered Trish’s podcast early on in my pregnancy and started BINGEING every episode. I wanted to learn as much as I could as a first time mom and boy, I did just that! Because of how amazing this podcast is, I also decided to join the birth course, which provided me with even more knowledge to prepare me for my birth. I’ve never felt more calm and prepared as a first time mom! Definitely give this podcast a listen!! You won’t regret it!

I’m so grateful I found Trish, this podcast, and her birth course! I’m pregnant with my second baby, and I have learned so much from this podcast about birth in general and how to advocate for myself and make informed decisions regarding my birth. Eternally grateful for all this woman has shared with the world!
