rose c tha haitian mama ,

Soooo relatable 💯💯💯

So I just started listening today! And I couldn’t stop! Being a mom of 3 boys , the discussion was soooo relatable! I feel like this podcast was made just for me!!!!

SMBsMama ,

Excellent and SO relatable!

This podcast is SO relatable and truly feels like having a mama friend right there in the house with you. Those first few months of motherhood are often lonely, so I can’t express how much I appreciated this. Also love how the sisters aren’t afraid to get very candid about their own (very different) experiences to help normalize a lot of motherhood feels. Such a great podcast - will recommend to all of my mama friends!

206Mommy ,

A part of the convo!

As a new mom, this podcast was so relatable! I love listening to two sisters who share their personal stories in such a way that you feel like you are a part of their conversation! I found myself agreeing out loud in each episode! They reminded me that my own pregnancy/birth experience, though it was scary for me, was not abnormal. Thank you ladies for making me feel like a part of your community and not alone. In my head, they are my “mommy besties”!
