    Incredible!
    Finally a podcast with bikini MOMS! I started this sport after having 2 kids and I feel like you two are so relatable! Not many people in our space understand the juggle of mom life and prep life. It’s a delicate balancing act and I just wanted to share how much I appreciate how real and relatable you two are! Keep the content coming!!

    For the mamas!
    Finally a podcast with all the pros who live a similar lifestyle… as MOMS!! I respect all of the effort and energy competitors put into their day. But as a mom of 8, I know first hand it looks very different when it’s not just about you. We have to learn a different mindset and ability to navigate priorities. Love to learn from those who are where I desire to go! Keep it up.
