  • MORE PLEASE

    I love this podcast! There is nothing about this you can’t love.

    You learn so much about so many different things, all while being able to understand little parts of yourself you may never had answers too.

    Im a young mother of 2. Ages 7 & 1.

    As a teenage mom, I had so much going on.

    I learned so much science about depression, hyperactivity and social cues that I wish I had known back then.

    This is an extremely great podcast.

    5 stars for a reason!!
