Customer Reviews
Laugh, Cry, and Shout Out ‘Amen’ !!!
If you want practical information delivered in a relatable way…you know like you are talking to your best friends, then you found the place. Each episode is packed full insight and nuggets that make you feel seen, heard and empowered as we all figure out how to navigate this 40 life without having an existential crisis. But the common thread is celebrating women, giving them a voice, and showing the world how mother effin’ great we are. Thank you Brandi
HILARIOUS!
I can really relate to these girls! The part where the next generation didn’t know about Y2K or The Spice Girls had me LAUGHING OUT LOUD! My husband even finds the podcast very entertaining! The product description and links were very helpful for a busy mom like myself. I always look forward to the next episode!
So relatable and even more informative!
This is my new favorite podcast! It really is like chatting with your best friends — really knowledgeable, down-to-earth best friends! I love the structure of the show and how it’s super informative without being stuffy. I’m really excited for future episodes because they cover interesting topics that are very relevant to me (I am, after all, also 40). Great job, ladies! Keep it up!
