Incredible podcast! I’m a mum of 2 and I’m so incredibly hard on myself, luckily this podcast has changed my life. From parenting to self love and acceptance (and so much more!!) Thank you! xx
I have listened to this podcast since its inception and have given the hosts grace over the years with the hope that I would hear them mature in their approach.
