What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

As a younger adult sibling to an adult living with PWS, and someone who developed all the coping mechanisms, the conversation of what can happen to us is validating. It’s hard and we can do hard things. I also love hearing the Mom perspective about the stress about the other kids. At the time,I had no idea what my parents were going through. Love that we are talking about all this stuff now. Stress + isolation is deadly!

For those of you mamas who feel like caregiving restricts your access to girlfriends and feel like when you talk about your life your friends just don’t get it—this podcast is for you. Jessica, Susanna & Zoe are your ‘on-demand’ girlfriends who don’t minimize your struggles or fail to understand the complications of your life. And these ladies don’t just offer empathy—by sharing examples and stories from personal lives and what they have tried themselves, you will find new strategies and resources that you can implement. Accessible, relevant support that works with your schedule/when you need it is what this podcast offers. At times they have been the understanding, friendly voices I needed when I felt isolated without much access to in-person support.

We Are Brave Together is such a powerful and uplifting podcast. It beautifully captures the real, raw, and honest journey of parenting children with disabilities and special needs. Every episode feels like sitting down with friends who truly understand — there’s so much comfort in knowing you’re not alone. The stories are inspiring, the conversations are authentic, and the encouragement is real. It highlights both the challenges and the incredible strength of these moms in such a meaningful way. This podcast is a reminder that we are stronger together, braver together, and supported in ways we sometimes forget. Highly recommend to any special needs parent looking for connection, hope, and community. 💛

This podcast is one I look forward to weekly. Having different perspectives from the three lovely hosts is probably my favorite part. The guests that they interview are outstanding but I usually get the most out of the “ask us anything” episodes. I find myself nodding and feeling SO validated when I hear the reactions and solutions from these three brave moms!
