Highlight of My Week
The moment I hear the music at the beginning of each episode, my blood pressure drops. I hoard episodes to listen to while I do laundry, mundane computer work, etc. This is BY FAR my favorite podcast; I love the intersection of science, best parenting practices, developmental psychology, and hilarious reflection. Amy and Meg are perfect hosts in my estimation, and I’ve learned so much from them.

Informational, insightful and fun
I’ve been listening to this podcast since I had my youngest son almost 6 years ago. I was a mom of 3 under 3, just trying to survive each day and I immediately connected with this show! Time and time again show topics and discussions directly related to what I was experiencing and it continues to help me through this adventure called motherhood. Thank you Amy and Margaret for being so helpful, funny and relatable!

Got me through a lot
The humor and humanity of this podcast has seen m through a lot. Living far away from family and with no friends with kids around, Margaret and Amy have been my surrogate mom friends through the pandemic and beyond. Genuinely funny and insightful, I look forward to every new episode.

The Mom Friends You NEED
I can’t say enough wonderful things about this show! Margaret and Amy talk about motherhood how it really is - the highs and the lows. I love the balance of personal anecdotes with experts talking about diverse topics. Plus, a little break in the middle for some comedy. Highly recommend!

Just love it!
What a great show! Hosts keep it real - no toxic positivity here (and no toxic negativity either!). Mix of personal experience, hilarious and insightful listener comments, and solid research from good sources makes this a winner of a parenting podcast- I’m a mom and pediatrician and love this show!!!

You need to feel seen!
As a pediatrician, and a single mom, I often feel like no one sees me. These ladies tear that curtain down and make me feel like I have a thoughtful and compassionate posse of hilarious moms to process this parenting journey with! The content is entertaining and helpful and reassuring that we really are laughing in the face of motherhood together. I have shared this with many moms who vote 100% this podcast has made them happier parents.

I needed this
So many mom podcasts are either too dark and sad or swing to overly cheery. Parenthood is hard, but it’s worth laughing over too! This is my favorite “me time” podcast in that quiet car ride between dropping the kids at school and heading to work. Thanks for the laughs!

Absolute Favorite!
I love this podcast! Amy and Margaret always have interesting, funny and thoughtful conversations that I enjoy. They have had me nodding my head in agreement and rolling with laughter. They brighten my walks with my dog, and keep me company while I am spending hours editing photos as a newborn photographer. I tell all my friends and clients about this podcast.

Like Chatting with Friends
Love Amy & Margaret & the WFH podcast. I look forward to it every week. I find solace in the shared experience of both womanhood and motherhood. I find their topics to be interesting and informative. And their silly episodes are always fun and entertaining. Amy & Margaret, thanks for keeping me company as I go about my day as a stay at home Mom.

WWAMD (What would Amy & Margaret Do?)
After listening for well over a year now, I often find myself wondering what would Amy & Margaret do when I encounter life’s daily surprises & hiccups. This podcast is one of those rare gems - a true, entertaining delight, combined with valuable & productive insights. Listening to them chat about topics that are also on mind feels like a great & meaningful gab sesh with girlfriends. I feel seen, heard…and most importantly, not crazy! Thanks for doing what you do ladies - please know you are a bright and funny light in an insanely busy season of life! Amy, I hope your piles are perfectly even before Christmas Day, and Margaret I hope you enjoy seasonal peanut brittle until your heart’s content!

My favorite parenting podcast!
This is the perfect parenting podcast—interesting and informative topics, great dynamic between the hosts, and fun to listen to. I always come away feeling like I just hung out with two friends who totally get it, and I appreciate the new perspectives and humor they infuse into the topics. Also, if you’re looking for a gift for yourself, I highly recommend subscribing! The show’s ads aren’t bad, but it’s so satisfying to listen to episodes without interruptions (at least from ads—kid interruptions are another story lol). The bonus episodes are fun, too!

Ashley’s review nickname
A definite must listen!
Just this morning I was yet again losing the battle of getting both of my kids out the door to school- when I got in the car for my daily commute I turned on WFH for some comic relief and commiseration! So thankful for Margaret and Amy and the entire WFH community!

Enjoyable
The hour these gals create uplifts me and builds me a compass to get me through this motherhood journey. Keep sharing and creating ladies!

Favorite parenting podcast
Margaret and Amy strike the perfect balance between informative and fun to listen to. They have so many relevant episodes that spread the course of time whether you’re expecting, or a new mom, young children or a mom of young adults. I find them so enjoyable to listen to and highly recommend this as a go-to parenting podcast!

Love Margret and Amy!!
I’ve enjoyed this podcast for years now. They are a good mix of humor, personal anecdotes (from them and listeners) and actual topic research. Very entertaining and feels like you are listening to 2 friends. The Ask Margret/Amy eps are great when you need a short distracting listen. They take each question seriously and give real solid practical advice, not just a vague answer. For anyone wondering, you can tell they are politically liberal but they don’t hit you over the head with it and aren’t obnoxious about it. So that’s win as well. Definitely give them a try!

Listen to it every week!
I love this show, it’s one that I wait for the new episodes to drop weekly so that I can listen to them right away. Margaret & Amy are easy to listen to and have the perfect mix of parenting humor and information, and I feel like I always take something good away. I love sharing episodes with other moms.

Recommend to Every Mom
I started listening to WFH about a year ago, and now I don’t miss a show. I’m Actually going back thru the archives so I don’t miss anything, they are so funny, real and provide a good range of parenting views. Thanks Margaret & Amy! I also love all of the interviews with authors, and being offered some real- life mom conversations & humor mixed in with deeper dives into so many topics makes this my go-to podcast recommendation!

Listen with caution
You will likely laugh out loud listening to this podcast, so be prepared if you are in public! I have to put in a plug for the paid subscription. The bonus episodes are Margaret and Amy talking about random hilarious things and they bring me inexplicable amounts of joy. There are 2 kinds of people who talk a lot, the ones you wish would stop talking and the ones you could listen to all day, Margaret and Amy are the latter and I’m so thankful to have them!

Episode 10/7/22. White mom here who isn’t just assuming that all motherhood experiences are the same and just like mine. My mom raised three of us alone with no help/ alimony/ child support, my daughter has had serious illnesses since age two, I would say all our experiences are different , just saying

I have been listening to this show for at least five years and I like it so much I’ve subscribed. The style is conversational and non-judgmental while being well researched and brimming with the lived experiences of Margaret and Amy. I cannot recommend it enough. It’s so good.

Perceptive, Intelligent, Relatable
I love listening to this podcast. It is like hearing from upbeat, sarcastic, witty old friends. They cover parenting topics without the baggage or preachiness, but there is still a lot to learn.
Matti NH
My go-to parenting podcast
This show is so wonderful… Margaret and Amy are so fun to listen to and always have a relatable take on the things that all of us have to deal with as parents. Every episode is relevant and entertaining and the Fresh Takes are always helpful too… Always look forward to listening to the latest episode!

Makes the work lighter while giving useful advice
This show strikes a great balance between poking fun at the drudgery of parenting (and marriage) while also getting some great perspectives and producing some really great advice. Their kids are slightly older than mine so I feel like I’m benefiting from their experience
EricaJose
So funny and relatable
I’ve been listening to this podcast for years and it consistently makes me LOL. I’m sure the people in my neighborhood think I’m nuts for laughing during my solo walks, but I work from home alone so sometimes Amy & Margaret are the only adults I encounter all day! I enjoy their interviews with authors & experts too.
