Customer Reviews
Why have I never heard of Suzanne Venker?
I am a 31 year old wife and mother of three littles (married 5 years in Nov, my kids with be 4, 3 and 1 by early Oct this year). I wish I had this show prior to getting married. I didn’t know prior to having kids that I wouldn’t want to work, and no one told me this. I am blessed to have a supportive husband who had changed careers to better provide for us and made it work for me to take a 2 year break from work.
I will be sharing podcast to my younger friends and those who are not yet married.
Eye opening
Three episodes away from listening to every episode. This podcast is phenomenal. Thank you for all of the work you do Suzanne. Signed, a 33 year old mom of 2 🤍
Loving this pod as a new mom!
There are many pivotal decisions we must make as mothers. I feel as if I’m navigating troubled waters when I seek perspectives on how to raise children. I want to raise my children the natural way. When I started listening to Suzanne, her insights followed my natural intuition as a mom, especially her views on raising a child, marriage, what babies need, and daycare. She speaks with such confidence and has a great podcast voice. Love listening and can’t wait to hear more.
