“About every 2 minutes, there is a reference to a “full episode” on a topic where you can get more information. It’s very annoying. I unless you are going to pay to subscribe, I wouldn’t bother with this one.”

“If a pregnant woman/ person is accessing your material about overwhelm and decision making and yet within the podcast itself you have SEVERAL adverts aimed at telling the listener what they should also be thinking about and should also be buying (the most recent one was for will writing!?!) it...”Read full review »

“It’s a helpful podcast for dipping your toe into the waters of a given topic. It’s not detailed enough to listen and be done, but it’s definitely a good starting point. That said, there are *way* too many ads. I’m not shaming for some ads—we all need to make money—but at least 1/3 of each episode...”Read full review »

There are many topics that are addressed that are not commonly talked about on other pregnancy-related podcasts or groups, so it is a great resource.

“This podcast could be great, but the episodes are only like 15 minutes of actual content. She spends the first 5 minutes going on and on and on about her ads; same with the last few minutes of the podcast.
