Finally a RELATABLE Parenting Podcast

I love Dr. Amy’s warm voice, relatable stories, advice and her expertise. I also love the length of her episodes as I can get small bites and the episodes are to the point. At this stage in life I don’t have time for a lot of fluff or a ton of ads where I am so appreciative for the length. Dr. Amy also has a wonderful YouTube channel that pairs so well with this podcast. I’m looking forward to more of Dr. Amy.
