I am have enjoyed this early years. Topics continue to evolve from the everyday to serious topics like racism and abortion and faith. Both the heavy and the light are warm and thoughtful and leave room for different opinions. I look forward to new episodes ans save them for listening to while running.

I’ve seen this podcast before, but only just tried it for the first time on one of the light-hearted episodes. It seemed fairly interesting and well-done, but then I noticed the episode on abortion. I skimmed through the transcription, and was shocked and horrified to see two “Christian” moms so for abortion and against those who take a stand. There’s a lot that could be said, but for one, unlike how they say, there IS allowances in abortion laws for medically necessary abortion. I’m not sure where they’re getting their information from. I won’t be returning to listen to this, as this isn’t the kind of spirit and mindsets I need to be filling my mind and home with.

I’ve been a listener since the start of this show. I used to love it but sadly no longer do they talk about fun things like what they’re doing for the summer or what they are eating right now. I really valued hearing from these gals on what summer clothing they keep turning to or how they are surviving the heat. For the last year or so it seems to be political and listening to anyone’s views whether they are liberal leaning or conservative is not what I’m hoping to hear about. It’s such a turn off. Bring back the fun life sharing girls that I knew!

I love this podcast and listening to Kelsey and Erica. Their podcast is my “first listen” whenever a new episode drops. I want to thank them for stepping into difficult topics lately (abortion, religion, politics) without fear and with open hearts and minds, honesty and curiosity. It would be nice to actually live next door, but I am definitely happy that I’ve found my podcast “best friends” 😊

I’ve been a dedicated listener almost since the beginning of the show. Over the last couple years it’s becoming harder and harder to listen to. I know we have different beliefs but how much further can we sink into immorality? Obviously this is no Call Her Daddy style content and pretty PG. That’s not the point. It’s the larger, overarching values of the show that have stepped into hating those of faith. Both noses are so turned up at the world now and it’s so obvious. So much liberal nonsense. So little time.

I just discovered this podcast and listened to two of the most recent episodes. I loved them so much I went back to the very beginning and am binge listening. Love the light, fun content and laughing between the hosts.

I honestly love/loved this podcast. It was a cozy comfort listen. My favorite ones have been the bookshelves and the fall extravaganza. Even though we have vast beliefs / morals I always felt excited to hear from my friends “next door”. I listened to this as I was postpartum with all three of my kiddos and loved the simple chatting of two friends. When I was looking forward to escaped from the loud voices it felt nice to come to this podcast. However today that changed. As I came expecting something light I found the headline with an automatically triggering word - no matter where you stand on the topic - “abortion.” I get that these topics need to be talked about but truly I’m not sure if this is the audience that you need to spill out your hate for those who believe differently than you. I really am sadden by a light and friendly podcast would come to this.

My new favorite podcast. I went back to the very beginning and am excited to have so many episodes.

Thank you for your hard work ladies!! ❤️

I love this podcast so much, I recently had a couple of very close mom friends move away, and am feeling very lonely. This podcast is so fun and uplifting. It’s 2025 and I’m going all the way back to 2015 and listening to early episodes and they are just as great, I’m so excited now because I have so many and won’t run out soon 🫶🏻

I’ve never found a podcast I enjoyed this much or relate to so often. Kelsey and Erica are down to earth, funny, inspiring, and offer great tips! I often find myself pausing the podcast to google a recipe or add something to my Amazon wishlist. But they are more than their great recommendations. I have laughed and cried through different topics they have covered with such thoughtful conversations. Even if the topic seems trivial, their (often hilarious) perspective is a great reminder that there is joy and meaning to be found in the little things. It is always such an uplifting and inspiring space I can count on to make me smile! Thank you for the intention and love you’ve poured into this podcast!

Relatively recent follower, although I am quickly making my way through the backlog of episodes. As a busy, working mom and wife in my early 40’s with elementary-aged kids I am so grateful to have found a podcast that really speaks to me! Thank you for sharing your lives and giving me something fun to look forward to on my daily commute!

So much joy listening to these ladies share real life moments, funny stories, and raw emotions. Thanks for letting us into your lives.

Long time listener and realized I haven’t reviewed yet! This podcast feels like I’m hanging out with my girlfriends and I feel so much better by the end of the episodes. There’s wonderful advice about a range of subjects but mostly just relatable and real conversations about womanhood and motherhood. <3

Listening to Kelsey and Erica felt like hanging out with friends over a cup of coffee. Their insights are practical and relatable, and I could easily picture myself right there with them talking about routines and the different stages of their lives. Can't wait for the next episode!

I’ve been listening for years but I think recently The Girl Next Door has become my favorite podcast to listen to these days! I love the upbeat, positive vibes and the recent topics have been interesting and engaging— and I love that you’re posting more episodes! Please keep it up - I will listen as much as you want to post! :)

I am so happy whenever I see a new girl next door podcast. Kelsey and Erika are both so warm and comforting and the types of moms and spouses and humans I want to be. There’s nothing quite like listening to a new episode while doing my weekly Trader Joe’s shopping ❤️ Update 7/1/24: I’m so glad they have explored how they can go further with this podcast. The model they’ve chosen for listener-supported content is just right and straightforward - no confusing tiers, just $5. They seem very intentional about everything they do, and appreciate that they don’t take on too much. I feel good about the people I’m supporting! I’m loving the additional content and I’m excited to see what they will do next.

I’ve been listening to Kelsey and Erika for years now; they are hands-down my favorite podcasting duo! I look forward to every new episode, knowing that they approach both serious and lighthearted topics with grace, research, thoughtfulness, and much needed humor. I appreciate their different worldviews and always come away with insight from both of them. Way to go, ladies! Keep up the excellent work!

I’m so happy I stumbled upon this podcast. My only local mom friend recently moved away and this show has helped fill the void of a now long distance friendship. It’s so fun to listen to the ins and outs of how other mom’s run their households and all the little quirks that come with it. Also listen to you talk about your kids (mine are 6, 3, and 10m) is so helpful. It really helps me see the things I have to look forward too as my kids grow up.

These episodes are funny, reassuring, and informative. Erica and Kelsey generously share aspects of their lives, enabling me to reflect on mine with fresh ideas and grace.

These girls are amazing. I look forward to this every week! I really have learned a lot from them. They are truly inspiring!

I just came across this podcast and fell in love with these two! I have binged so many episodes within the past two weeks. The information is so good and I feel like I’m the living room sitting and gabbing right with them! Thanks ladies for your hard work to make this such a highlight to my commute!

Kelsey and Erica offer such thoughtful and joyful takes on parenthood, family, and life in general. They are never judgmental or prescriptive but rather share nuanced discussions on everything from yummy snacks to deeper discussions on complex topics. Listening to them is like sitting down to chat with an old friend. If anything, you should subscribe for their annual fall extravaganza. I look forward to it every year!

Fun, candid, interesting conversations between two friends.

The Girl Next Door podcast is one of my absolute favorite podcasts! I’ve been a long time listener and look forward to every episode. Erica and Kelsey are funny, thoughtful, and always offer a fresh perspective on life!

I've been listening to a bunch of motherhood related podcasts over the years and they all have a niche but nothing truly felt like an exact match until this one. Erica and Kelsey really make you feel like you're sitting at the kitchen table with them chatting as friends. They bring a sense of positivity and vibrancy to life but mixed with sarcasm and humor. They are incredibly intelligent- researched and thoughtful in their approach but still bring humility, respect and their whole selves, self admitted flaws and all to the conversation. They can make you laugh out loud, nod your head continuously or pause and reflect with a tear in your eye- the best kind of podcast!

I’ve been listening since the beginning and this is my favorite podcast of all time. So honest, relatable, and to the point. Thank you!

Wrote a review on instagram on your post about renovating a home but realized I can do it here too! You two keep help keep me sane. Your approach to life, kids, marriage and FALL! Oh my goodness. So much wonderful things to say but will keep it short. Please keep going 💗💗💗

Sweet, smart, funny women. Love to listen to them.

I’m fairly new to this podcast so now I’m listening to all of the older ones (and banking all of the fall/holiday ones for Fall)! Love how relatable and real they are! I’ve tried so many other podcasts but this one just feels so natural, like I’m chatting with friends.

I LOVE this podcast so much with my whole heart. I’ve never not shouted “YES, THANK YOU” during an episode and I just love how TGND ladies really being you into their honest conversations. Their COVID time capsule and feminism episodes are so well done and truly are worth the listens. I tell everyone about this podcast I love it so much.

I learned about this podcast a month ago and have been plowing through the back catalog. I’m loving how Erica and Kelsey bring their whole selves to the show. It’s a great listen that touches upon so many parts of my life

My one complaint is that they only put out an episode every other week, I want more. Love listening to these ladies; they are funny, relatable, kind, and down to earth.

I love this podcast and I’m so thankful for all the work put into it!! One suggestion; Erica often talks over Kelsey, not in a rude way, but in way that is distracting over audio. I also talk and add to friends stories so I totally get it, but just wanted to share that feedback!

I have listened to this podcast for about four years and really love it! Kelsey and Erica have enough similarities and differences to keep the conversation moving, engaging and humorous. I have found the more recent content less and less relatable as I am a working mom and I really miss Kelsey’s unique perspective as a working mom too. Although I find some of their issues to be trivial, I still find myself listening again and again to these two ladies.

Kelsey and Erica are so much fun to listen to. I am a newer listener and have loved catching up on the archives and following along as they share their stories and growth as women, friends, wives, and moms with transparency and humor. They are both so relatable and lovely. Thanks, ladies!

This show used to be so accepting to all people and views. I feel vilified as a conservative republican. I used to love these ladies but now they just seem angry and intolerant to anyone that is not a liberal.

I really like this podcast but have to say, please stop saying the “pandemic is over, post-pandemic, etc”. Covid is still very much here, especially for those of us with infants under 6 months, immunocompromised or frankly those who care about their long term heath.

I have listened to this show for years now -it is truly a delight. Erica and Kelsey feel like IRL friends. I relate to each of them on different topics and I love that their POVs are separate sometimes, alike sometimes and sometimes a bit of both. Their conversations and pointers are on target for my life, thank you!

Listening makes me happy

Love the rapport between these ladies! Their different personalities and family stories really compliment each other. Great tips, lots of encouragement to follow your joy and take care of yourself on the road of motherhood, and just good company in your earbuds! I’m particularly grateful for the comfort of this podcast as a new adoptive mom ❤️

I always look forward to this podcast! I cannot tell you how heard I felt in listening to Kelsey’s descriptions of divine feminine energy in synchronized group exercise and the power and strength as a woman at OTF! These are both so important to me and keep me coming back!

I love this podcast so much! I want Kelsey and Erica to be my best friends. Thank you for your rich and funny and authentic topics. The Divine Feminism episode is everything. Don’t ever stop-just live you both.

Love it!!! The episodes about books you read. Your real life updates. All your great banter. The homeschooling content. I love it all

Pls make more

I don’t write a lot of reviews but I’m sitting here enjoying the Dill Pickle Salad Kit (from the “Obsessed” segment) and I have to give credit where credit is due. These “girls” are an inspiration in their friendship, their dedication to their families, and their hard and consistent work on this podcast. Thank you Girls! Keep it up! (And keep the “Obsessions” coming - I’ve been drinking the Iced Lemon Loaf tea all summer. 😉)

Every episode is excellent. Erica and Kelsey feel like old friends at this point. I love their points of view, how they offer different perspectives on almost everything, but still share core values. A must listen on the day it drops.

I cried during their episode on white privilege. As a Black woman, I’ve never heard of white women having this conversation without relying on a Black woman to direct the conversation. This filled me with so much hope! I love the conversational tone, and they make you feel a part of the conversation. Keep up the great work!

I started with the periods podcast while at work. I was LAUGHING at my desk at certain parts and smiling at other parts. I don’t have kids but this episode was heartwarming and made me subscribe to your podcasts as a whole. Thank you for your work.

When I first found this podcast (recommended on another podcast) I binged all of the previous episodes! I’m always nodding and laughing along with these ladies! They also give the most amazing book recommendations!
