This podcast is an absolute gem for mums navigating the highs and lows of parenting! Hannah and Emma have created a space that’s not only informative but also incredibly relatable and comforting. Their candid conversations, expert interviews, and personal stories make you feel less alone in your journey as a parent. I especially appreciate how they tackle tough topics with honesty while sprinkling in humor and warmth. It’s like having a chat with your most understanding friends. Highly recommend it to all mums looking for support, advice, or just a moment to feel heard and understood!
