This podcast has been part of my motherhood journey and I have found support, laughs, and so very much enjoyed the brain stimulation.

This was such a pleasant surprise! I am so glad you are back!! This was one of my favorites podcast and I’m very excited to hear what’s to come!

This is a great show that I enjoyed in its initial run, and I am liking the rebooted version now. However, I could not find any other place (even Instagram) to give this feedback, so it’s going here. Hillary, as a fan of yours, I am very disappointed to see you allowing advertisements for the military on your podcast. As a mom, the military is the last place I would ever want my children to go, for many reasons. Aside from the danger of death and dismemberment, the vast majority of US wars and interventions are in the service of imperialism and cause untold suffering for civilians, especially women and children. If you are someone who speaks out in favor of women and children, you should oppose the US military machine . And until you can drop these ads, I will not be listening to your show anymore.

I’m so excited to have you back! You got me through the first few years when my kids were little, you made me feel less alone, and taught me so much valuable information. I literally cheered out loud when I saw that you’re back!

You got me through such tough postpartum times 12yrs ago I could cry just thinking about it.

It’s so wondering that you are back continuing your Longest Shortest Time Podcast Journey with us! I listened to this podcast when I first got pregnant, had a baby, then got pregnant again, had a miscarriage, and then finally got pregnant and had a second child. Your episodes cover so much of this parenthood journey and I love how open and honest the stories are. And now that my daughter is 8 (my son is 5) and I’m buying all of the books about bodies and consent, you come back with just what is needed. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Listened to this whole show and in my postpartum season it was such a gift. So many great conversations!

I realize this is an old podcast. However this year (2023) I became a mom and I really enjoyed listening from the start those first few months. Like most media endeavors after 2015, the content has more of a slanted-‘progressive’ view which I honestly find boring. One of the reasons I enjoyed the content early on is that it reminded me of a less divisive time. The focus was on relevant content without making the audience listen to a soapbox about the politics of the day. It just devolved into a standard boring podcast you have to ignore the politics of and eventually just end up ignoring all of it. The stars are for the early episodes I really enjoyed.

I am here from the Ina May Gaskin Episode. You quite literally said “labor was manageable until I got Pitocin” AKA you didn’t fail because you got an epidural, you failed when you decided to give birth at a hospital. This is why she harps on fear. If you had no fear you would have birthed at home and been able to manage! The whole book talks about how things go south when you go to a hospital, did you even read the book?
