Timely and Comforting

This podcast has helped walk me through so many parenting struggles! Being able to face these tough conversations with our kids head on is so important. Thank you for all the tips and ideas for starting convos with kids. I feel like I am Mandy and Kim’s bff sitting in the living room doing life together. All our successes and failures. We learn from each other. Thank you. Forever grateful.
