    Long Time Listener
    I’ve been listening to The Mom Hour for 8 years now. Meagan and Sarah have felt like older sisters to me guiding me along the parenting journey. Thanks to them, I’m not so scared of the next stages of parenting. I’m so grateful for this podcast!

    LOVE this podcast
    I’ve been listening to this podcast since I was pregnant with my first baby 4 years ago, and this is the only mom podcast that I’ve stuck with. Meagan and Sarah are so relatable - I have two toddlers and another baby on the way and even though my kids are little, I love hearing about their experiences with all stages of parenting because it serves as a reminder to enjoy the stage my kids are in and that the hard parts I’m dealing with will pass. Highly recommend!

    Show Ideas
    I love this show so much. The last episode got me thinking about kids starting activities later than the typical early elementary age. These days it always feels like kids will be “catching up” if they start something new in the middle school/high school years. I would love to hear you talk about activities your kids have started later on. Also- more middle school/high school content in general would be amazing! Thank you again for all you do!

    Great show
    This past has been a favorite for years. Great discussion for motherhood and friendship etc.
  • AnnorAnnie
    Used to love it but not some of the new guest hosts.
    I LOVE the Mom Hour but I can’t listen to the episodes with Katie from the Midwest somewhere. The accent for some reason and how she talks sounds entitled and just annoying. It is like nails on a chalk board. Love the Mom Hour and I’d listen for hours if it was Meagan and Sarah and the other guest hosts especially Kelsey from the Girls Nextdoor podcast. Those gals always ALWAYS sound so humble down to earth and I adore their content.

    I have loved the Mom hour for years now
    A fun, and informational podcast helping moms of many ages. I love that I can get a good laugh and likely a new great idea! Thanks for all you do!!
  • Sarah CRCX
    Love these moms!
    These moms are so cute and I enjoy listening while I do my laundry or go about my day!!
  • Mommamissy77
    Great show
    Wish I had this back when I was a first time mom! I do feel like this podcast can apply to any mom season, though. Excellent job.
  • T.Lowry
    Used to be my favorite
    The was my favorite podcast since becoming a mom. For a long time it was the only podcast I made time to listen to regularly. They refuse to share anything personal anymore. I understand their kids are getting older or grown up and they don’t want to talk about them due to privacy, but the topics are barely parenting related anymore. I don’t want to hear another episode about gardening or skincare or how they stopped drinking. That isn’t why I’m listening.
  • Becky D WV
    Easy, light listening
    I enjoy this show as it brings easy, light listening to my free time! The content is helpful and the hostesses and friendly and kind!
  • mobrody
    Perfect mix
    Love these ladies and how they mix important topics, household hacks and fun conversations! Love getting to hear different perspectives or ways to think and approach things in a new way
  • Cocos lady
    Always enjoy

    So Much Wisdom!!
    What do I need most today? What an essential question for us to ask ourselves as mama’s DAILY!! Thank you for this reminder that it is a gift to notice and honor where we are each day and making the best choices and adjustments we can, instead of relying on a “set it and forget it” mindset!! Notice what we need and adjust in small ways, brilliant! Thank you for this insightful interview!!
  • Cferguson08
    Long time listener
    I have listened to The Mom Hour since the first episode and my kids are teenagers now. I find content where the hosts discuss their adult/teen children to be the most valuable. The show loses me when the focus shifts from the main hosts to other hosts and/or younger kid topics.

    I miss the old mom hour
    I have been listening for 6 years and I just miss the old mom hour with just Megan and Sarah. I don’t like listening to these other moms and don’t really know them enough to want to listen to them. I feel like this podcast should be just Megan and Sarah then they can have another one with the other moms. I hate when they take weeks off at a time and have other moms take over, I’d rather just not have a episode. It feels like they are more off the podcast now then on it!
  • Valley girl 07
    Ads, ads, ads
    So many ads, not much valuable content. On to the next mom podcast.
  • Lola B Boston
    Invaluable Mom Wisdom
    Thanks to Megan and Sarah for sharing their experiences and helping all moms feel seen from newbie to experienced. Being a Mom for 22 years myself, I can relate so many of the topics the Mom Hour discusses. In this phase of mom-ing, gone are the days of casual conversation between moms at playgroups. Therefore I truly appreciate the relevant content The Mom Hour touches upon and the genuine and through conversation between Megan and Sarah. Their chemistry is very natural and they complement one another perfectly.
  • LL-NH
    Great show for new and seasoned moms!
    I’ve been a listener since 2019. Topics are so relatable, some episodes seem like they heard what was happening inside my four walls! As kids age it gets harder to discuss common topics but they provide insight, and most of all acceptance, to all the hardships and challenges that come along with the joys and milestones. Thank you for being here for us! Lauren, mom of 14, 12, 10

    Relatable and Useful
    I always find myself nodding along to Meagan & Sarah in agreement/solidarity. I enjoy hearing both of their perspectives on all motherhood topics. I also love hearing about both of their physical places in the world! I look forward to the podcast every week. I also enjoyed the other moms who sat in on the mic this summer- they were great too!
  • simplelotusliving
    Different strategies
    Love hearing how different strategies work for different families! Thanks for being real!
  • Slarson5
    Informative, Relatable and Real
    The heart-felt perspectives of moms, practical tips and research that goes into each episode help me feel more informed and reminds me that I am not alone in this motherhood journey.
  • smwpac
    Relatable topics
    I loved this week’s dinner episode. It was fun to hear from so many moms. Dinner is my kryptonite- it’s good to know I’m not alone in my struggles!
  • TwinMomEsq2012
    Relatable and useful
    I have been listening to this podcast for several years. I find Megan and Sarah very relatable and enjoyable to listen to, and they have some great practical tips for people who are in the trenches of parenting.
  • Midwest Moderate
    Such a delightful podcast
    I have been listening to The Mom Hour for years and have loved it the whole time. I genuinely respect and love the perspectives and personalities of the co-hosts, Meagan and Sarah. They are very down to earth, real, and humble in their motherhood journeys. I have dabbled in lots of similar podcasts, but nothing has stuck as much as The Mom Hour. It truly feels like “grab a cup of coffee and chat with friends” time or as close as it can be while driving or folding laundry, etc. I highly recommend!!
  • GretchenSue
    Thank you!
    I just wanted to say thank you to Sarah and Megan for starting this podcast! I feel like it came out at the perfect time for me to help me get over the mom guilt I already started to have and live a much less stress life of motherhood. I’m so happy to see that you continued on and I pray that you are still touching the lives of young moms like I was. God bless you both.

    Love the show and their chemistry is amazing! As a newer Mom I enjoy listening about the journey of motherhood.

  • LizM13
    Long Time Listener
    I’ve been listening to The Mom Hour since the early days of the pandemic which also happened to be fairly early days of motherhood for me. Since then I’ve gone back and listened to every episode and feel like Megan and Sarah (and their team) are my friends. They make me feel so seen and supported in my motherhood journey.
  • hls1013
    All stages of life
    I absolutely love this podcast! I’ve been listening for several years and really enjoy listening to all the tips and tricks for all stages of the motherhood and parenting. I first started listening when our daughter was elementary age and now as we enter teenage years it’s nice to know I’m not alone!! Thank you Meagan and Sarah for all your hard work and support!
  • KristyDenver
    I love this show
    I look forward to listening to this show every week. I appreciate especially the content about being a parent of older kids and teens.

    Judgment-free, positive, real
    Listening to Meagan and Sarah every week brightens my days and feels like catching up with friends. I love the judgment-free, positive, and real outlooks they share. :)

    So relatable
    Love this podcast!
  • MrsPeterson1st
    Love this show!
    I listen to a few mom shows. This one is my favorite! I especially like the sometimes simple, seemingly non-subjects that get talked about. Sometimes it's just what I needed to hear about and just the mom encouragement I needed.
  • It’s just little old me
    Favorite podcast.
    Sometimes I feel a little silly how much I enjoy listening to this podcast show, but somehow it is just the right mix of entertaining and practical and thought provoking and relaxing. This show has helped me to be a less judgmental mom and to show myself and others more grace. It has also helped me to sort of enjoy the art and nuance of motherhood.
  • LMWJKLZ
    Love Love Love
    This show makes me feel seen. I’ve been listening for a while but just went back and listened to the first episode about mom melt downs and it just confirmed why these women are my people!! So real. So helpful.

    I owe you
    I owe you this review for all the fabulous hours of kid discussion, house rules, and fabulous home care ideas I have harvested from listening!
  • JuliaandSean
    Love this podcast
    Seeing a new podcast pop up always makes me smile. Love the real life examples of what other moms are doing and have done. Makes commutes and runs much more enjoyable.;
  • MonFromSac
    Love this podcast!
    I love the Mom Hour and have been listening for years. Meagan and Sarah are like old friends. I love how they are so different yet complementary. I don’t miss an episode!

    Long time listener
    Been listening for years and it’s still fresh and interesting as my family grows up.
  • Eraquin
    Most comforting podcast when hiding from the world
    I am binge listening to old episodes of this because it’s always pleasant and thoughtful. Plus I’m an enneagram 1w2 so I definitely vibe with the hosts.
  • clund12
    Favorite parenting podcast
    I’ve been listening for 6 years, and it’s my longest running podcast relationship! Still a consistent listener and have listened to all but a handful of the entire catalog.
  • SteviDunehew
    Feels like chatting with old friends
    I can’t recommend this podcast enough! I tell all my podcasting mom friends to listen. It’s my go to podcast for putting and the house doing all things mom
  • Sam_212
    Relatable and helpful
    I love listening to the Mom Hour! Meagan and Sarah are so relatable and always give me ideas and perspectives on motherhood. As a toddler mom who feels like I’m tackling a new parenting challenge every week, it’s like getting encouragement and advice from a mom friend who’s been there and has lives to talk about it. Highly recommended, especially for newer moms!
  • lrisdall
    I enjoy this one!
    Best pod to get a mom through a long afternoon of chores! So relatable!
  • Saghia
    My favorite parenting podcast for 7 years!
    The Mom Hour is by far my favorite parenting podcast and has been since it started. I’m grateful to have grown as a parent along with the hosts and I so appreciate the fun, the humility and the acceptance these two bring to parenting.
  • LAnnDarg
    Love them!
    I’ve listened for years and have heard nearly every episode. You are a bright spot in my week!
