Out of touch
I truly loved this podcast at first. I came to it from best laid plans but immediately was put off by Laura. Her advice is consistently out of touch with working parents and lacks any empathy for different life situations to her own very privileged one. The breaking point for me was when she discussed 5-8 pm as golden hours. I just could not believe this would be a time when anything gets done besides surviving. With two young kids and my husband and I both making under 70k as educators (a job we truly love) we’re trying to do it all but this podcast has become a source of completely unrealistic expectations and advice. We can’t afford to outsource anything and that is the case for the majority of working parents. I really wanted to like this and the concept is so good, but I think they’d benefit a lot in talking with true working class (or even just not high income AND working from home) parents to suggest actual strategies instead of ones they’ve never actually used besides outsourcing.

As a working mom with older kids...I love that I found this podcast!!! I love their honesty and how they share what works and what doesn’t! A breath of fresh air and honesty in the Mom universe!

I have bought all of Lauras books to support her and look forward to Sarah...Read full review »

I have recommended this podcast to so many people. I started listening before having kids and now that I’m expecting/almost due, I am so thankful that I did. I have set up a framework of outsourcing so I can continue to pursue my goals without guilt.
