Every morning there is a new episode is a GREAT day! I love this podcast and it’s the only podcast I listen to religiously. It gives me so much comfort to hear the issues discussed, knowing I’m not the only one walking through fire in parenting .

Other parenting podcasts come and go for me, but I’ve been listening to What Fresh Hell for 5+ years now and it’s still a great listen every time. The wit conceals genuine parenting wisdom and I’ve learned a lot from Amy and Margaret’s experience and world view. Thanks so much from a mum in Australia.
