Childproof

by Gwenna Laithland and Tori Phantom

Parenting is hard, but it's even harder when you feel alone and have only the sounds of Cocomelon to keep you company. Childproof is a parenting chat show for when you’re craving adult conversation. As parents to three kids each, co-hosts Gwenna Laithland and Tori Phantom have been there. They know that sometimes our kids are the ones on the verge of a tantrum, and that sometimes it’s us. Childproof attempts to figure out the dos, don’ts, and f*ck its of modern parenthood. From yelling at your kids (we’ve all done it) to finding a sleep schedule that doesn’t ruin your life, Gwenna and Tori share the challenges they’ve faced and the lessons they’ve learned, and are eager to share their experiences through a mix of one-on-one conversations, guest appearances, and input from listeners revealing their own parenting secrets. Clearly, we could use some help from everyone and their mother.

What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I follow a lot of podcasts, but this is one of my top tier ones. Almost always listen as soon as I see it pop up in my feed. Love Gwenna & Tori’s friendship, their perspective, and their approach to parenthood/life. They brighten my week, make me examine my ideas & choices, and remind me that some chaos is ok.

Puzzle-holic 85 · May 2025

I love yall and I’m so glad you’re back! ❤️ PS your episode on sick kids was great! My family always judges me because I don’t run my children to the pediatrician for every little sniffle without fever. Thank you for telling me I’m not crazy!

JsmJsm8989 · Mar 2025

I look forward to my weekly listen to my favorite Parent Friends! I follow a few different parenting podcasts because I'm A Parent And I'm Terrified Of Screwing My Kid Up, and Tori and Gwenna are the most relatable, wholesome, practical, fun parents that do podcasting. Thank you both for being you!

EmoAngelofMoosic · Mar 2025

First of all, I adore the two of you. The little slice of peace and laughter I get each week is amazing, thank you for existing 🫶 also, I know you only just started doing the pod on your own and there will be kinks, I’m just here to let you know the sound mixing needs help! You guys are so quiet😩 but when the ads pop up it’s SO loud because I have to turn it up so loud. Are better mics or sound mixing options available? Again, thank you, and I will listen no matter how quiet. Just thought I’d pass this along lol
