  • Stop pushing the other podcast

    I like the mindful mama podcast but I do not like the Jay Shetty one. Please stop pushing it when you push yours. I tolerated it for months at this point because I thought it was a temporary thing. I will unsubscribe if this doesn’t stop by the end of November 2025.

  • My most recommended podcast!

    Hunter’s work was instrumental in my early parenting years. I found her course and meditation through this podcast, and then her book! I now have a tween and continue to benefit from her research and guests on the podcast. I am always sharing episodes with friends and family.
