  • Jessica?!

    So, I had already tried this hack last night before listening to the pod today. And it certainly worked, although perhaps not in the way I meant it too… my 5 year old became really confused and then after 30 seconds of me calling “Jessica, come here please!” She proceeded to look at me with terror and screamed “GHOOOOSSSSSSSSTTTTTT!?!?!?” To which I had to calm her down from that and for the rest of the night she wouldn’t leave my side 😅

  • I love Monz!

    I genuinely love listening to the show and hearing all three of your perspectives. The balance between you is what makes it so special. Amelia and Stacey are wonderful and the dynamic you share works beautifully.

    I did want to take a moment to say, Monz, how much I truly value your perspective and recommendations. There’s something really grounding and thoughtful in the way you share and I always find myself leaning in when you speak. It’s a joy to hear you and you’re very appreciated. 🤍
