I’ve tried a handful of episodes and am officially done trying. The host is so hard to listen to! You can tell in her interviews that the interviewee feels uncomfortable and as a listener, I can only handle so many filler words like: “um, uh, well, so....” As a podcast host I feel as though these are things that shouldn’t be an issue.

She’s so hard to listen to

I’ve learned a ton about pregnancy.  Great host and great guests.

So helpful.
