Fantastic

This is just lovely to listen to, keep it up! Talking about it all is so important, perhaps you could even stretch it to toddler years up to 5 as I would love to know how other mums deal with behaviours and disciplining etc (babies don’t really need that). Brilliant podcast!

Love it, want more!

I love this podcast, I hope they release more episodes! I’m not a mother (unless you consider my dogs) but I find these podcasts so interesting and love listening to them! I love Gi and can’t wait for the next season!

Great episode for mums with older kids!

Love the Emma Freud episode. As a Mum of older kids it is hard to find relevant enigmatic women talking about their kids once they are at high school age or older. More please!
