Customer Reviews
Episode 10
Thank you both so much for your vulnerability - I am listening to episode 10 and I appreciate your transparency in parenting and balance.
I had to search for how to write a review on iTunes because I never write reviews but this one moved me to action. I’m sure there will be more in my future. Thanks so much for your honesty and expertise!
I’m with you on screens for my kids and figuring out this balance especially as I get started in private practice and navigating the whole business end of things. It’s all consuming but realizing that it shouldn’t be. Thank you so much!
Disappointed
I was so excited to find this podcast until the comment “I was going to throw it all away and learn about the Bible.” It broke my heart. It breaks God’s heart more importantly. I wish you two well.
Fantastic resource
Annie and Leah are knowledgeable, experienced, intelligent and fun. I enjoy every episode and learn so much! Love this podcast!
