My wife has shared so much of your content on social media with me and I finally started listening to this podcast. I found it so useful and practical! Thank you for all you do and all the great work you do!
I love this podcast so much. Jess and Scott are easy to listen to, easy to understand, and they help give me hope and inspiration toward being a better parent. The only thing I hate about it is that I didn’t find it sooner!
I started by finding the nurtured first instagram account. I am an EMDR therapist and parent. I love both the podcast and instagram account. It helps me working with my adult clients who are parents, it helps with understanding how things were for my adult clients when they were children, and it it helps me to show up as a cycle breaker and better mother. Thank you!!
I enjoyed this podcast very much and it has helped me validate my feelings as a parent!
I find myself recommending this podcast to everyone!
