  • Just love this

    Every week I look forward to Saturday mornings episode drop. I feel like these are the ladies I’m chatting too over coffee after the school drop off, or complaining to about our days in the group chat. I’ve reviewed before but I just want to keep elevating this podcast for all the smart mums who love a good book, a great bit of gossip and some parenting positivity. Five stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

  • Like a smart chat with mum friends

    I love my weekends when I can listen to smart women talk about the full range of being a parent. Sometimes I find myself saying “hard agree” or “oh no, that is wrrrooong”. Love them all but Amelia is the smartest person alive and I love her parenting insights and wise cracks.

  • My Saturday morning essential

    The only “parenting” podcast I listen to. The only podcast that’s actually suitable for me to listen without headphones. It’s sparked some interesting conversations with my 13yo son. Thank you. Love you ladies!
