Customer Reviews
Thank you! Excellent advice !
Truly grateful 🥹
My favorite podcast!
Dr Lisa makes me a better, wiser, more prepared parent, plain and simple.
Love - mostly. (4.5)
Podcast resonates... so informative and thought provoking.
This feels so nitpicky, but Reena's repeated use of "WOW, I've never thought of that!" (or some minor variation) in EVERY episode has become grating. Reena is great other than that, but with a podcast, the audio cringes matter.
