    EP 328: Play-Based Childhood with Autumn McKay

    EP 328: Play-Based Childhood with Autumn McKay

    As a childhood educator, author, and parent, Autumn McKay has navigated the challenges of screen-time management with her own children and believes that her story and insights could provide valuable content for your audience. Like many parents, she found herself facing the all-too-familiar scenario of dealing with tantrums and meltdowns when it was time to end screen-time sessions. It was a wakeup call for her to recognize the need for change and find a balance between digital engagement and real-life experiences.

    EP 325: Sperm Health with Brianna Neufeld

    When Brianna Neufeld was looking to start trying to conceive, she could not find any supplement out there tailored to sperm health. Data shows sperm health can change within 72 days and targeted supplementation can impact outcomes.

Great podcast

I love this podcast! I loved the most recent episode with Liz and Vito talking real life about parenting and marriage. Needed to hear that.

Room for improvement

Liz constantly uses some iteration of "dive in" or "season of life," and it drives me especially bonkers when she says "if you are listening" because of course we are listening or we wouldn't be hearing you in the first place. It's also odd that there are so many guests from Canada. Liz obviously doesn't have a real career - a former night club waitress turned doula, and the "doula stuff" seems to have gone by the wayside. I like keeping up with Liz and her family life, but honestly, most of the information presented on this show is readily available on the internet.

Love this podcast!

I have been listening to this podcast for a long time and I have gotten so much education and different perspectives from Liz and all the guests that come on. I love that Liz works hard to have highly educated guests to really expose her listeners to different views and discussions. I am in my 2nd pregnancy and have listened to this podcast since ttc with my first and I love all the information and resources that Liz talks about and all the great guests she brings on.
