A parenting podcast for everyday superheroes in need of a pick me up.

Parenting requires a heroic effort every day: Wake everyone. Feed everyone. Get out the door on time. Do your work. Make a living. Keep a home. Stop the siblings from attacking each other. Walk the dog. Care for yourself. Make sure they're doing their homework. Teach them emotional skills. Do the laundry. Get the teen to put the phone down. Tend to your adult relationships. Read the middle one a story. Get them to sleep on time. Do the dishes. Try to sleep yourself – if the baby lets you. Start over.

Some days we do it all feeling like Wonder Woman / Superman, leaping over meltdowns in a single bound, and some days we feel like lowly mortals who can't catch a break or even get a moment to pee!

We at MFA are your superhero headquarters for this heroic mission. We help you rise to the demands of this extraordinary job, and we are your emotional safety net for when you fall. Most of all, we're here to speak with profound honesty about the honestly profound work of parenting, because we believe our stories deserve to be told. Welcome, we're glad you're here.

Mother flipping awesome!!!

Abigail stands out from the crowd for me because where other playful or peaceful parenting podcasts talk about what you can do, Abigail actually shows you! I come away from every podcast with so many tricks and games I can play, and they really work with my children, especially the difficult one.

I loved Abigail Wald’s input on the hand in hand podcast and couldn’t really see how she could improve on that - but she has! (And you don’t need to have listened to hand in hand to listen to this, it’s a wonderful stand alone podcast)

I LOVE this podcast. Every conversation has a few lessons for me and it’s such an amazing format - listening to Abigail work her magic with mamas just like me. I am only disappointed that I’ve been listening from the start so I have to wait for each new episode instead of getting to binge on the last two years worth of episodes.

Love love love it. Thankyou Abigail!

Inspiring and helpful!

After hearing Abigail's great stuff from the Hand in Hand podcast, I was excited to hear she was going to do something new. Listening to the Mother Flipping Awesome podcast each week I'm brought to tears as she sympathises with and encourages each mother. The mindflips are fantastic and I file most of them away in my mind for when I might need them in the future. Above all, hearing her examples of conversations with the children and how she uses playful parenting to connect with and come alongside the children is mind-blowing and is super useful as I'm trying to become more playful in parenting rather than making everything so serious and heavy. Love, love love!!!!!
