Customer Reviews
Thank You!
I cannot express how thankful I am to have come across this podcast. I was really questioning why I was feeling the way I was and to hear you share all the things connected to midlife motherhood, you have made me feel less crazy and more part of a sisterhood! Thank you so much for this podcast. God bless you!
I can relate!
It’s clear these two are real friends having real conversations and I’m grateful they’ve allowed us into their relevant and easygoing chats. They had me smiling, nodding in agreement, tearing up a bit and relaxing my shoulders in relief that I’m not alone! Looking forward to hearing more!
Meant to listen to just ONE...
I binged the first three when I meant to just listen to one. These two friends share their various experience being 40s+ and some encouragement. A quick listen, each podcast focuses on a topic and action item. I laughed and nodded my head in agreement—enjoying hearing these women talking honestly about busy and way less-than-perfect lives. Can’t wait to hear more.
