  • So good. Such good information.

    As a 40-something-cis-white-guy father of a 5 year old boy, I love that shows like this exist. It helps educate while being entertaining. Tools like this show are so key to helping people like myself to really get more of an in-depth insight into how we can all try to prevent issues like this for the future generations. My wife had been through some similar things before we got together and hearing her stories first hand always makes me so mad and sad. It is always helpful to hear more women’s v... more

  • Love this podcast!

    I look forward to listening to this podcast every week! Megan and Rachel are funny and down to earth, and do such a great job telling serious stories while tying in humor. My favorite episodes are the ones focused on one story - where they interview/bring on guests to tell their story, and when Megan and Rachel tell their own stories. I’m not huge on the random chatter/stories so I tend to skip past those episodes - but I’m sure other listeners love that. Overall, a great podcast!!

  • Finally, people that should have a podcast have a podcast

    The silly side of Girlhood needed a podcast, and the Traumady Show answered the call. Finally, two women bring us in on the magic, the mess, life’s absurdities, and let me tell you, it’s everything you didn’t know you needed.

    This show takes you on a rollercoaster of hilarious, heartfelt, and downright traumatic (in the best way) moments of girlhood, delivered with a mix of wit, charm, and vulnerability. It’s the kind of podcast where you listen and find yourself nodding along, laughing out loud... more
