  • This is the parenting podcast I needed

    Absolutely authentic advice, understanding and compassion for the parenting journey. Cathy has a wealth of knowledge and experience both as a mom and a professor. Todd makes sure listeners understand the episode’s topic and can apply it to their own lives that very day. ZPR is a very valuable resource.
