Very good with one flaw
I used to love this podcast, and found that the Hernons had a lot of practical wisdom and ideas for how to improve as a parent and spouse. However, the more I listened, I discovered that the podcast seems to be driven by Alicia, obviously a holy and intelligent woman, on a mission to build up men in a world that respects neither sex. This is a great mission, of course, but I didn't find much encouragement for women. Mike seems like a smart, good father and husband, but it seems like he's just along for the ride as a co-host, despite him introducing himself first etc. He rarely speaks to men about how they can better love their wives, and neither of them talk about the importance of motherhood, yet they have devoted multiple podcasts to how women can respect their husbands more and the importance of fatherhood. When they started saying things like "Fathers are more important to their children even though they spend less time with them" I had to unsubscribe. Again, it is a great podcast otherwise, but if you are struggling in your worth as a mom, look elsewhere.Read full review »

However, I am a west coast liberal catholic and my own views and interpretations often differ from their views. The final straw was when they implied that...Read full review »
