I really like this podcast. Really smart guests with helpful actionable advice. The vibe is very relaxed and nonjudgmental. I don’t appreciate parenting content that just makes me feel like I’m doing everything wrong. This is the opposite.
Not sure about all the negative reviews. There’s some really good stuff here, especially recent interview.
It’s been a long time since I’ve had the luxury of sitting down, coffee in hand, and listening to an entire podcast from start to finish. As a mother to a rambunctious and beautiful little boy, and now pregnant again, uninterrupted moments feel almost impossible to find. But wow, did I ever need this one!
The title alone grabbed me: We’re Doing Great. Thank you. I didn’t realize how much I needed that reminder. Like so many of us, I’m trying my best. I make mistakes, I learn, and I keep going, ... more
I can’t get over how fun AND useful this podcast is to listen to. It feels like a breath of fresh air to get off IG and hear fundamental truths and advice about parenting from experts who just get what I’m going through. So excited to see who comes on next.

Two hosts explore the messy, real side of parenting while simultaneously building a business in the kids' media space. Across episodes, topics orbit around work-life balance, authenticity, practical parenting tactics, and the challenges and joys of entrepreneurship, often anchored by guests who bring expertise in parenting, education, health, or family tech. The show blends personal anecdotes with candid conversations and a community-driven vibe, making it feel like informal coaching for parents who want practical advice without judgment. A notable strength is how it normalizes imperfect parenting while spotlighting founder perspectives and real-world strategies for sustaining creative ventures alongside family life.
