Amazing show!

Every time I listen to OBM I feel less alone. As a person in a queer relationship, I appreciate the variety of voices on the show.

Side note: Biz - you have a beautiful voice and I love your laugh. You are doing a great job.

An actually helpful parent podcast

This podcast really helped me through the “forest years”. A giant thanks for helping me not feel alone and that I am doing a good job, I’m getting really good at this and all the wonderful affirmations of self.

You are doing a good job

I’m not even a mom but absolutely love the show, it’s honesty, kindness, support to all. And the mantra of “you’re doing a good job” is something even non-moms like me need to hear to help keep my head high. Love love love it!
