Not helpful! Misleading

Not helpful at least for me.
Staring with period doesn’t make you a woman and many other things I wish she didn’t mention because they were kind of unnecessary.

Merattjm ,

So enjoyable and informative

It can be so difficult to find a podcast that is both informative and enjoyable to listen to. Marni has the gift of providing both. I love listening to her interviews and captivated by her personal stories. This is a must listen for all pregnant a new moms.
