  • Finally! A parenting podcast that isn’t boring.

    Love the show. Topics are interesting and relevant. This podcast touches on real aspects of parenting but doesn’t feel like a typical parenting podcast. Plus, the ladies are so much fun.

  • Love it!

    The title is exactly what is on the tin.

    I am in my early sixties and free of offspring by choice but have amazing nephews, nieces and a gorgeous collection of God Children😇

    My friends grandchildren are being introduced into our crazy, wonderful world at a rate of knots so I like to be across all things around navigating the journey.

    I enjoy listening to these gals so much.

    You all rock!

  • Gentle parenting for my ears (and my nervous system)

    I co-regulate with Amelia, Monz, and Stacey every week on Parenting Out Loud. Their respectful disagreements are the masterclass in “using our calm voices” that my household desperately needs.

    They validate my feelings, model healthy boundaries, and still make me snort-laugh into my cold coffee. It’s like being in a safe, supportive circle — if that circle also dropped hilarious truth bombs about parenting chaos.

    Highly recommend for anyone trying to parent gently while internally screaming.

So That's Why Magicians Are Back & The Eldest Daughter Theory

Unpacking The KPop Demon Hunters Obsession & A Tracking Tool Controversy

The 'Normal' We Need To Interrogate & The Father's Day Rethink
Q: Why shouldn't parents feel bad when watching Bluey?
Because Bluey depicts eight minutes of perfect parenting, which isn't realistic for most parents, and they often spend much more time with their children than previous generations did.
The 'Normal' We Need To Interrogate & The Father's Day Rethink
Q: What do you think about the sensitivity surrounding Father's Day marketing?
It reflects a cultural shift acknowledging that not everyone's experiences with fatherhood are positive, such as dealing with infertility or complex family dynamics.
