    Invaluable life advice
    I can’t say enough wonderful things about this podcast and the heart and soul Billy and Nick have put into it. I have gained so much information about how to better parent my children, as well as insight on my own childhood and emotional trauma that even years in therapy failed to uncover. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I will continue to recommend you to everyone I meet, parents and non-parents alike.

    The book has been to Antarctica !
    I am so enamored with these two and so grateful for this podcast. I’m a brand new mum for the first time, and a baseline anxious person who worries about messing up from the get go. But listening to this podcast feels like it gives me tools to be a good parent, and person AND partner, and it helps me manage my anxiety by feeling like I’m taking action , instead of leaving it up to chance, and arming myself with knowledge to pull out later when needed - so REALLY good for my mental health in the postpartum stage! I’m in the states, and wanted to get my hands on Garvey’s book, so I called in a favor from a friend and coworker from working on “The Ice” and she was able to grab a copy while deploying to Antarctica through Christchurch NZ and was kind enough to take it to Antarctica with her and mail it back to the states. It just arrived and I’m so excited to start reading! But I thought you’d like to know your book has made it to two new continents, Antarctica and now North America !

    Such a good inclusive podcast
    Found them through one of my SEND mom groups. If you or a family member have a child with a disability or delay the episode 68 and episode 69 can be life changing and validating. Plus they have handsome accents so definitely worth a listen
