Sarah is truly the best

Trying to find a podcast for women in early motherhood that is relatable, informative, and funny is ALMOST impossible, but Sarah gets it done. As a new mom in my 30s this podcast is beyond informative, and simultaneously makes you feel like you’re sitting down having a conversation with a friend.

Thank you for sharing!

Hi Sarah,

I am someone who is experiencing pregnancy loss and to hear your story was so helpful to me. I experienced many of the same things that you did and it was just so reassuring to hear that I am not alone in my thoughts. I do believe pregnancy loss should be discussed more openly so thank you for doing that! I’m so sorry for your loss. I’m optimistic and can’t wait to continue on this journey with you. ❤️

Flamingo Mumma ,

Thank you Sarah!!!!

Cannot say enough great things about this show and Sarah’s honesty and vulnerability throughout her pregnancy and postpartum. I listened weekly during my pregnancy and came back during postpartum, and I thank god that I did.
Sarah’s story of the flamingos and getting their pink back gave me so much light and hope during one of the darkest times of my life 🩷

I share this show with every pregnant and postpartum gal I know and will continue to do so for years and years to come!
