Bona and Team Capsho · Sep 2023

Love listening to Dr. Meg! She is EXCELLENT. My thirteen and ten year old daughters especially love the “Ask Dr. Meg” segments. Keep up the great work!

LovePhiladelphia · Feb 2023

Meg delivers common sense and wisdom when dealing with your children. She is truly one of the best and someone I go to regularly for parenting advice end guidance.

sbenkt · Feb 2023

Thank you for being brave and unashamed to talk about controversial topics for parents and women. I find your parenting advice practical and not based solely on opinion

jennybutlermd · Jun 2022

I listened to the episode about video game addiction and at times thought I was listening to an infomercial. This episode seemed very canned—more like an opportunity for two people to pitch their products than a true conversation. Also, the only evidence used in this hour long episode to back up personal opinions about video game usage were anecdotal experiences with their own children (and the supposed glowing reviews their children gave them for banning smart phones and video games entirely). You have to wonder what was going on in the guest speaker’s family to drive her son to escape with video games in the first place. 🤷‍♀️

Subscribed as she actually has good parenting points often, but getting into politics and religion and the latest on CRY was too much. Try the good inside podcast less polemics and rants.
