After Bedtime with Big Little Feelings

by Dear Media and Big Little Feelings

Real talk? Modern parenting is a doozy. There’s never been more pressure to be perfect with social media readily at our fingertips - mixed with total isolation and no help. Where the f*ck is that village everyone talks about? Consider After Bedtime your village. Led by Kristin and Deena - founders of the largest online parenting community, Big Little Feelings - After Bedtime is the place you can go at the end of a long hard day to find your “enough”-ness. We’ll laugh, we’ll cry, we’ll maybe pee our pants a little as we unpack things we’re ALL experiencing but too ashamed to talk about: imperfect marriages, miscarriages, managing toddler mania, apologizing to our kids and everything in between. You’ll leave with actionable, realistic tips to make this whole parenting thing smoother - small changes, big impact. In an age where parents need more *real* connection than ever, let’s talk honestly about the hard - and remind ourselves we are not alone, we are not failing. In fact, we’re f*cking crushing it.

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

If I ever met either of you in passing, I will drop dead with my fangirl excitement! You two have given me so much strength, hope and laughter since I became a Mom! Could NOT recommend your BLF buisness enough. Truly, from one mama to another, thank you for helping me find the joy in motherhood while navigating all the expectations and reality of the invisible mental load.

Erica Sollid · Jul 2026

You speak through love, understanding, and experience. I hear how genuine you are. You are doing a great life work. Giving guidance to whoever is out there listening and didn’t know they needed to be directed here.

Jtownjoy · Jun 2026

This podcast is everything to me as a mom. I feel like every episode is SO relatable and SO real. I look forward to every episode and I always learn something. Deena and Kristin are amazing- so knowledgeable and the way they share their real life partnering experiences means so much. BLF deserves a medal every day for being the podcast that all parents need!! Thank you BLF <3 ILY always

Rachel V from Florida · May 2026

LOVED this episode. Saw so much of my own marriage in it, and so many valuable lessons and takeaways before we get to the 10 year mark. Thank you for being so open, honest, and vulnerable! <3

Booboofoo2 · Apr 2026

Used to love the content but seems to be overrun by ads now. The last episode I will listen to seemed to be an entire episode long ad for a mattress company with lots of fear mongering and misinformation. This kind of information is not helpful or relatable to the masses who are barely scraping by, getting hand me downs from friends/family etc to make it work. Seems like they sold out.

C1234dhhfvdfgv · Aug 2026

The show has progressively gotten more laden with ads, to the point where the actual useful content can be reduced to 5-10 minutes. The most recent episode about toxins is probably the last episode I will listen to. The entire episode is essentially a 30 minute ad for organic mattresses (complete with some misinformation and fear mongering). It’s completely acceptable to have your own values and views and live your life accordingly. It’s not acceptable to make moms fearful and guilty for our kids sleeping on a mattress that we can afford. Read the room.
