Recommendation
Lauren Graham from Gilmore Girls would be a great guest!
Very validating
I’m not usually into “interview-type” podcast but I’ve been a mom for 18 months and this podcast hits me perfectly. I haven’t seen most of the shows/movies referenced but I appreciate the audio clips and descriptions that give me enough of a synopsis to follow along and challenge my views of motherhood! Thank you for this podcast!
Really great content!
I research how entertainment media impact moms’ self-efficacy in handling their children’s health behaviors, so this podcast is so interesting and relevant for me! As a fellow parent to toddlers and a pre-k kid, I relate to the content personally too.
