Customer Reviews
Fabulous!
Love this podcast so much - all so varied and interesting. Super empowering!
All the conversations are so different and so important. My favourite ever podcast
Doing an incredible service for parenting
I’ve listened to this podcast from day one. Laetitia is an excellent host with guests from all walks of life. Her most recent episode (season 3, ep1) was with MFF founder, Elliott Rae, as he talked through his experience after the traumatic birth of his daughter. It was such an eye opening episode (as they all are) and sparked a conversation between me and my husband that we may never have had, had it not been for this episode - how did he feel about the upcoming birth and newborn days with our second. Every episode from Laetitia is insightful, non-judgemental (of the parents experience) and thought provoking. She has such a diverse variety of guests and is doing something really special for parenthood. An easy listen while getting underneath big topics in parenthood, working and how the bloody hell you balance the two!
Fantastic podcast for all mothers
I find the content very empowering - it’s all so varied but each episode contains something that makes a difference to how I think about motherhood and managing work alongside being a mother. I’d highly recommend this!
