Great podcast!

I absolutely love BPP! To know that there are other parents going throw the same thing that I am is so refreshing! Keep doing what you’re doing! You all are AMAZING!!

Enjoyed the open dialogue

Listened to the episode that aired Nov 2021. This was great. My husband and I are married and have a blended family but the different aspect we have is his child lives with us permanently and visits the mother weekly. I would love a conversation with parents that have that similar setup and understand the elements that exist due to that scenario.

I don’t have kids and I still love the show

I get to learn how other people are living and I throughly enjoy that! Possibly preparing for children by listening to this podcast.
