Love your conversations. However, Alicia’s mic during the podcast could be better. It was striking when you did the “commercial break” promo - it sounded so much smoother.

I’ve been listening to Mike and Alicia since the early days and their wisdom has helped me and my wife to have a better marriage and to be better parents! Much love from Croatia!
zcuric via Apple Podcasts · Croatia · 08/21/23
I am so glad for a podcast with husband and wife speaking together on topics. It gives a fullness of perspective, and they devote a good amount of time to WHY we want to improve in whatever marriage or parenting topic they are discussing. That’s so helpful before launching into what we can...Read full review »

I can tell that this podcast is for real people in real life. They give concrete examples of how to handle messiness in family life without judging. They build their listeners up while helping them become better spouses and parents. Thank you!!!

This podcast is amazing. They are real, relatable, and non judgmental but also call you to greatness and a higher standard at the same time.

My wife and I will listen individually to different episodes when time, toddlers, and babies allow and come together to discuss the various topics. We understand that the family is the building block of society and the last battles before Christ’s second coming will be fought over marriage and...Read full review »

Some friends shared your intimacy podcast with us 3 years ago, and we loved it so much we’ve been hooked ever since! Great, down to earth, faith filled advice for us parents/couples, and I cannot thank the Hernans enough for their ministry! If you’re looking for some good advice from parents that...Read full review »

When I first began parenting about ten years ago, I remember reading some book about how to “raise saints”— a catholic guide to (almost) perfect children. I internalized too much of that book— thinking it was MY job to turn my kids into saints. In reality, God uses your kids to slowly (and...Read full review »

The best parenting advice I have ever received! Thank God for your wisdom and desire to share your experiences with families that are striving for heaven! God Bless you!
nhardesty via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/03/22
I enjoy the professionalism that is put into these podcasts but I usually stop listening to them half way through as they take much too long to get to the point. I just tried to listen to the recent Oct 3rd cast about SAHM’s and they hit on the first crucial point but then belaboured it when it...Read full review »

These two are real, raw, light hearted, and deep all at the same time! This podcast has left me feeling encouraged and challenged— the best combo. So happy this podcast was recommended to me! Thank you Mike & Ali

This is such an incredible resource for parents and families! It is relevant to everyone, and especially those rooted in the truths of the Catholic faith. I look forward to each and every episode! Thank you, Mike and Alicia, for your words and sacrifice for this ministry. God bless.

I appreciate Mike and Alesia’s authenticity in who they are individually and awareness of how to live a life fully in their marriage. Listening to them is helpful in holding on to the truth that I am unique and my marriage is not like any other but that I am not alone but a delight. I was created...Read full review »

This is the real deal. I highly recommend listening to all these episodes. We really need an honest and open approach that a Mike and Alicia Hernon give one episode after another.

Inspiring Catholic Couple!!!!
Shelby Runner via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/04/22
My wife and I just refer to this as “the podcast” because it’s the only one we both like. We have incorporated a bunch of advice from Mike and Alicia. We don’t have any older brothers and sisters with kids, so it’s been great to hear their advice.
Reubenator34 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/26/22
Good moral values and practical advice in a nonjudgmental way! I love the way they present each episode; I feel like I’m sitting with them at the coffee table having a conversation. Keep it up!
cennia via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/16/22
Thank you so much for guiding me in these first years of marriage and motherhood. I was recommended to start listening to you by my 2 other sisters who have 5 kids.

I listened to these wise souls on a whim. I needed help with discipline for my kiddos and this helped both of us to parent better and make our marriage richer! I am so happy I listened!! You will be too! They are also very funny.

Thank you Alicia and Mike for sharing your experiences and wisdom. You have blessed our family!
Bridget Roseman via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/28/22
I am cleaning my floors and listening to Mike and Alicia’s podcast. Who knew cleaning opens up so much space to find awesome Catholic ideas that I desire for my family!

This podcast should be on every parents short list. Mike and Alicia are honest, humble, and unashamed of their Catholic faith and messy lives. It is likely that they have experienced every situation you could encounter both as parents and as a married couple. Plus if they haven’t, they have the...Read full review »

Every parent and future-parent should listen to this podcast. Amazing witness, coupling experience with structure. One of the few podcasts that I do not miss an episode of.

This podcast has helped me gain confidence as a parent, especially as a Catholic Christian. I love discussing the episodes with my husband, and live our marriage with more purpose. Thank you so much!
S_K.pitt via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/08/21
I’ve been listening to this podcast for over five years. As a very busy mom I don’t have time to keep up with many podcasts, but this is the one I squeeze in no matter what. The tips, advice, guidance, and challenges from a couple with many years of experience from “the trenches” of raising a...Read full review »

I love this podcast. The topics are all so useful and are covered in a thoughtful and nuanced way. Mike and Alicia have so much wisdom to share and their gifts are very complementary.

As a military family and now a Veteran family we have always been looking for our church family. With this podcast we have found a church family that can keep constant. We are so thankful for being part of the neighborhood as well and make time as a couple and family. So thankful for this family.
TeaseNkiss via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/01/21
Have listened to Mike and Alicia from the beginning. Their clear but gentle podcast inspires greater personal action in our own approach to parenting and challenges us to grow our faith in Jesus Christ as a family. They are wonderful guides as we walk through our “messy family” life. Highly...Read full review »

This podcast has a lot of insight with relevant topics about raising Catholic kids in today’s world.
Mrs. Sarah V 17 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/08/21
I’m so grateful for this podcast as my husband and I navigate parenting (in the relatively early years; our oldest is 4) - Mike and Alicia have so much wisdom to share and make it very practical and tangible too. The resources they provide are also awesome!
katienobauer via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 01/07/21
We have been listening for a few years now and we love the Hernon’s charismatic podcasts full of wonderful resources and truth when it comes to family and our responsibility to be a light in this world. Thank you!

This is a gold mine of Catholic family resources — their wisdom is truly life-changing and remarkable! This podcast has significantly improved my family life — 100% recommended. Mike and Alicia are relatable, fun, and joyful speakers. I can’t speak highly enough about this podcast!
zander382 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/04/20
Mike and Alicia are so relatable and always express the room to grow in their own parenting. They are not of the world but are in the world with the rest of us, and inspire us to work intentionally to mold our children with real life and practical examples. Great content every time!!! Thank you!
TanyaAG via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/25/20
They’re excellent!
MissPattyLynn via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/20/20
This podcast challenges and empowers parents to “be who they are” within a Catholic framework. Mike and Alicia are practical, supportive, and relatable as they encourage parents to pursue holiness as they maneuver the difficulties and joys of family life.
