  • Used to like you

    It’s really disheartening seeing how you haven’t spoken up on the children in Palestine and the on going genocide that they’re enduring. Especially someone who has lost their parents in such a tragic way. It’s disgusting how you had people on your podcast that are settlers in occupied Palestine. I used to love listening to your podcast, but now It’s difficult to view you as someone who cares about ALL children/humans. I’m extremely disappointed.

  • Excellent content for both parents and for child-free adults!!

    I’ve been listening to Anna for about a year, and she quickly made it onto my listen-to-every-episode list. Over the past year, I’ve sent multiple episodes to my child-free friends because the content is so applicable to adults in general. Having said that, her guidance and suggestions and even just her personal musings have brought so much richness to my parenting approaches. Her content has helped me cultivate a deeper level of self-compassion, positive self-talk, and sincere self-care, which ... more

  • So grateful for this podcast.

    Anna’s parenting wisdom has been helping me for the past eight years of my parenting, and for that I am so grateful. I love how real she is and how she coaches with no judgment, just compassion. I refer back to this podcast constantly for different topics, since she’s covered so much. And her guest speakers are just as inspirational as she is. One of my favorite parenting podcasts/resources for sure!
