Off putting

Okay, I practice gentle parenting and I love listening to parenting podcasts. I stumbled upon this one and I couldn’t stomach it. The hosts come off as smarmy and berating and judgmental. I really don’t understand that approach? There are many better podcasts to listen to that are supportive and kind to parents.

Where were you 30 years ago?

I’m trying to manifest grandchildren so I’ve stumbled upon this podcast and it’s got me drawn in! Where were these kinds of resources when I had my son? Things have definitely changed in parenting is the best ways possible and I can’t wait to share what I’ve learned!
JosieTheCoach

A Great Tool for Mom’s everywhere!

Such an informative and helpful podcast. I wish this one was around when my children were growing up. But so glad that I can refer friends and family to this resource.

So helpful and encouraging

First time mama. I’ve learned so many things from this podcast. Simple suggestions for parenting the way I aspire to. Thank you for creating this podcast for us mamas out there who need support!
marinemom22

Has helped me so much

Love the wisdom I’ve gained from these two! I’ve learned WHY and HOW to be a better mom to my kids. One thing that has really helped it not reacting to my kids but taking a moment to figure out what will help best to get them to do the task at hand. Before I would yell out of frustration but now I am able to stop and think before yelling or going to “punish” them. So grateful for finding this. Thanks ladies!
Ms. Aria

So grateful!

I literally found this podcast today and I've already listed to 3 episodes and shared them with my husband! We're navigating life with a toddler and an infant, so tantrums and tears are a near-daily ocurrance. The advice and tools offered by the hosts are based in research and modern developmental psychology. They provide the "why" and "how" with each parenting tip. I can't wait to dive in deeper and learn how to be the loving and nurturing parent my babies deserve.

Best podcast for parents EVER!!!

I love this podcast so much, it was the answer to my prayers. I’m writing this review through my husbands Apple account since I have an android, but it was so important for me to write this review that I asked to borrow my husbands phone lol. I really hope this podcast gets to more people (but at the same time I want it all to myself lol). Mama Sareena and Amma Lisa are such wise, compassionate individuals for sharing their know-how with the world. I love how knowledgeable Amma Lisa is and how compassionate and caring Mama Sareena is! Thank you for what you do!!!

I love this podcast!!!

The title says it all. I truly love this podcast. Not only is it easy and engaging to listen to, but it is full of solid advice to help with parenting. Much of the material includes concrete suggestions to try with your own littles, but it also includes advice to help mamas cope. A line that I learned from this podcast, and one I often repeat to myself when having difficult moments with my toddler is “she is only acting her age.” Remembering this fact brings so much perspective to a situation. This podcast is an amazing resource for anyone trying to practice respectful parenting.

Loving this podcast!!!

I am so loving this podcast! Sareena and Amma Lisa are so easy and enjoyable to listen to. They are creating a space that feels like I am a part of something where we are all helping each other to connect with not just our children but with each other. I look forward to every Monday to connect with these women. You won’t be disappointed.

Lovely podcast for me as a nana

I am an art teacher/grandma and ABSOLUTELY LOVE this podcast. Have shared it with my son and daughter-in-law, they give excellent, sound advice to help parents practice patience with their little ones. Lisa & sareena are the perfect couple to give wise advice mixed with the real time scenarios parents face with their young ones. Recommend 100%!

Process of unlearning

Thanks to this podcast i have discovered my path to healing and learning that punishment surprisingly does not work. I never thought I’d say that. Lisa gives me more perspective to what my kids actually going through and im thankful she’s opened my eyes!

Fun, enlightening and learning

Really enjoy the conversations, banter, joking and information shared between Lisa and Sareena So excited to learn more about the parenting experience. While I’m not a parent yet, I am planning to become one and want to learn all I can to be a conscious parent
Look Forward every week!

A much needed space.

This podcast has created a much needed space. We aren't supposed to do things alone and they have done a great job of providing help to so many who need it.

What a Great Team

Love listening to these two and the different perspectives! They create a great energy and i can relate to their conversations which is what I love best! Shared with all my mommy friends!
paramama22

New Mommy & Just What I Need

Love this podcast. Their view. The topics I’ve heard so far. Their perspective gets me thinking of things I haven’t thought of before like less plastic for our kids and more wood toys. Listening to their feelings since they feel just like we do. Great listen!
babci0101

So welcoming

As a grandmother I love these two and what they bring to the conversation. They are so easy to listen to and provide ideal information with a warm and loving touch. Did I mention fun because it is a fun listen as well like you are driving around in the car!
Tiphanyk

This village is so supportive

I love the way both the hosts are lovely and serene as they talk to each other. I feel enveloped, safe & supported in their conversation. The mix of new mom & grandma, with different backgrounds from different countries is surprising & delightful. Definitely listen to this podcast when you need to feel supported as a parent.
Amarie425

So Important

Love the message here!! It is SO IMPORTANT for moms to have a loving nonjudgmental community. I also love that one host is a grandmother and one is a younger mother. Both perspectives are so valuable. Looking forward to more episodes!
Mexi5678
