Will be unsubscribing
There are some good messages but the overall tone of this podcast is oozing privilege, and on occasion, toxicity. Both hosts are completely out of touch. While I enjoyed some of the earlier episodes, recently it’s been made very clear their target audience is high income earners who are married to high income earners. These two white, upper class women’s recurring advice is to hire help and outsource everything. From childcare and extra Nannies, to cleaning and cooking. On top of that, you must not feel guilty about it. If you are a nurse making 80k or a teacher making 60k, the hosts will make it very clear this podcast is not for you. I was listening to one episode, where a listener sent in a question. Laura in particular was so rude and condescending bc this person wasn’t “high income”. Sarah has a more tactful, kinder approach but she too is completely un relatable. Laura must not realize how she comes across. She talks about going to church, but then is judgmental and snooty towards listeners and even towards her co host, Sarah. Podcast would be better if Laura wasn’t a part of it. Recent episodes are focused on extravagant vacations and very specific situations they are facing. I will be unsubscribing as I don’t like the hosts’ haughty attitudes and limited world view. It’s antiquated, polarizing, and non inclusive.

Maybe I’m wrong, but I feel like they are definitely not the average working mom I know. We don’t have extra income to hire out every basic chore and go on lavish vacations, etc. Would like to see them try to expand their topics for every mom to have best of both worlds.

Laura Vanderkam is so smug in this podcast. She is trying so hard and it is difficult to listen to. She constantly feels the need to prove herself. I think working moms are important but I also wonder why these hosts have 3-4 kids and miss so much of their kids’ lives. Pass on this podcast if you...Read full review »
