- Saying the Quiet Part Out Loud
I love this podcast because Gwen and Kristen encapsulate every emotion, frustration, triumph, and thought I’ve had of being the father of a neurodivergent son. They have good days on the pod, bad days on the pod, and it’s so comforting to know that as parents, we are all going through some of the same challenges and setbacks. I highly recommend this podcast. Keep up the great work, ladies!

United Statesa month ago - Am I laughing or crying?
A friend turned me on to the podcast and before I even finished the first episode, I texted her that I was somehow laughing and crying at the same time. As the mom of two amazing neurodivergent kids, it’s easy to feel alone in the struggle, but I’ve never felt more seen than listening to Kristen & Gwen. Please never stop!
