Such a great podcast to listen when you are in the thick of parenting!

Every sing episode I have felt seen and validated and allowed me to see my partners perspective as well. Great way to get started with better communication ❤️

Very relatable

My husband and I love listening to this podcast together. These two are vulnerable, honest, intelligent, and funny. We relate to them in a lot of scenarios!

A gift

I’ve enjoyed listening to this podcast after following along on instagram. I enjoy the earnestness and the two different perspectives. Both hosts model how to navigate disagreement well, with one party usually looking at the bigger picture when accidentally offending the other. This week’s episode on grief was so beautiful, honest, and grounding. Thank you for this gift.
