This is my absolute favorite podcast. I binged it when I was pregnant a few years ago, and now save it as a treat every week. You ladies are amazing storytellers, and I truly look up to you as a newer mama. Thank you for all you do! We love you! πŸ₯°

In a time that felt so isolating and scary, especially as a first time mom, listening to Shanna and Laura on my many long walks was often my only escape during those quarantine days. I am...Read full review »
