My twin sister and I are always talking about how every time we listen (weekly, duh) it always applies to our lives currently. Such a cool grace from God and our fave pod as young wives and mothers. Love you two to pieces! Neeeeeeevvver stop! Our most referenced pod especially about being anti-talk bad about our husbands and breaking generational wounds!

Smacking/Spanking/Hitting is NEVER age appropriate. Alarming to hear something like this on the recent episode. “Don’t spare the rod” is from the Old Testament- so an odd verse to bring up as a Christian/Catholic who believes in the New Testament.

I’ve tried to be open-minded and listen to the pod over the years but have constantly been triggered by how out-of-touch these two are. They often seem to think their opinions on NFP, home birth, the traditional Latin mass, raising children, femininity, and modesty are objectively true for everyone. Very ‘holier than thou’ attitude that lacks perspective.

I found this podcast while early postpartum with my first baby. Been so refreshing and real! Ignore the haters. Happy to hear your insight and feel like we’re really in it together as young moms!!

Thank you!

Listening since 2021 and just love it so much- I look forward to Mondays now 💕

I really wanted to like this podcast but I just can’t. The podcast has so much potential of “honest”conversations of young mothers but the reality is less helpful. These women tend to spout their opinion as Church teaching (NFP, relationship advice, home births, etc) where in reality it is truly just their opinion. I have a graduate degree in Catholic Ethics and trust me, this is not a theologically sound podcast. Finally, these this is a small thing but these women also do not understand basic medical facts (such as the difference between a gestational age vs embryonic age of a developing fetus)but try to speak to the medical world with authority.

If you are looking to laugh, learn, and be constantly lifted up in your faith - this is the podcast for you!!! Cece and Megan make you feel like you are sitting right next to them and talking to them as they share their stories & wisdom. I have listened since their first year and am constantly telling others about it to share in the joy. This show is something I look forward to every week and it has been with me through my life seasons of singleness, dating, engagement, marriage, and now in my motherhood. And it’s been a perfect fit each time💓 keep up the beautiful work you guys are my favorite!!

I love this podcast so much and it makes my Monday mornings so much better! I love the realness of Meg and CeCe, the fact that they are milsos and talk about it, have sponsors that I actually want to hear about and give great advice! Most of all, I love how they share their Catholic faith! I have missed the show a lot during the break, which is how I’ve felt during all of their breaks since I’ve started to listen a year and a half-ish ago!

my very favorite girl talk pod!!!!! i listen every week and always look forward to podcast day (mondays) :)) 🩷🧡

If you want advice on dating, there is decent advice here. These ladies are young & just beginning motherhood and wifehood. If you are in this stage too, it’s wiser to listen to seasoned women who have lived through a longer vocation of motherhood, women whose marriages have stood the test of time. Sally Clarkson, Elizabeth Foss, Janet Quinlan- Remember a lot of these young women influencers are learning just as you are but they spend a lot of time thinking about their appearance on social media bc this it’s their job. Be cautious of opinions that may be rooted in pride.

I would caution women against following their marriage or parenting advice too closely. A lot of their advice seems misguided, immature (by the fact that they’ve only been married/parents for relatively short amounts of time), and too focused on following advice they’ve heard to T instead of living out how the present moment has called them. For those seeking good marriage or parenting advice, I would look to older couples who have children out of the house who have remained in the Faith or at least in a stable place in life. Or who have been married at least longer than 10 years. Praying for happy, healthy marriages and families for you all!

Hi! I’ve been listening to this podcast for 4 years, and it is the only podcast I don’t miss an episode of. These ladies are hilarious, candid, and above all led by the Holy Spirit. They are great examples of what it looks like to strive for holiness while having fun and connecting with others in this world . The most relatable hot mess express that’s heading in the best direction! If you’re a Catholic or Christian woman, there are many lessons and laughs to be had from this show.

The podcast has been very beneficial spiritually/mentally/emotionally within the last year! I graduated college May of 2023, accepted a new ministry job which required me to start fundraising, and moved overseas to Germany to start said job ministering to military kids. There has been a lot of hard transitions and it has been a huge help for me to know that somebody understands. I don’t think I’ve both laughed and cried so much while listening to another podcast!

This week’s episode was my favorite yet. I’ve been listening for a few years now, but this one came just when I needed it and I had to review saying thank you. I am 4 months pregnant with my first abs this was just the sort of conversation I needed to hear. I greatly appreciate the dialogue on how you made your sleep decisions and hearing how different things worked for each of you was super helpful in setting my expectations. Thank you!

I am a big podcast listener, faithful Catholic, and mother of many. I have tried repeatedly to like this podcast; however, the advice given on this show is from women who are brand new in their journeys of marriage and motherhood and it’s quite evident. The young ladies seem to have good hearts and intentions, but those things do not make up for lack of experience. I would caution women listening to this to seek counsel and wisdom from women who have lived out the vocation of being a wife/mother for more than a few years.

I love getting marriage advice from women who’ve been married for two years and haven’t ever lived with their husbands for longer than two weeks at a time lol. Cece—why on earth do you think you’re qualified to give advice on *anything*? please—STOP giving advice. Maybe wait thirty years until you’ve gained some wisdom and until then, stop talking. Telling women that their husbands are going to cheat on them because they want to co-sleep is something else! Lol just because you can buy a microphone doesn’t mean you should have a podcast.

The way I laugh out loud and also dive so deep into my faith and relationships (to God self and family) at the same time when I listen to this show is unmatched. Thank you Meg and CeCe for being so unapologetically and radically Catholic, you ladies are inspiring…And so refreshingly self aware. I could go on and on about the good qualities these ladies have and pour into this show but do yourself a favor and just listen.

I’ve followed Megan and Cecilia on IG since 2019 and have listened to the podcast since 2020. These women exude virtue, from humility to prudence to femininity. Their advice is always specific, practical, and in line with Catholic Church teachings! I’ve grown so much in my knowledge of Catholicism, dating, marriage, motherhood, NFP, birth, and much more through this podcast! Meg and Cece feel like big sisters to me, and I’ve developed in my faith so much because of them!

I frequently find myself thinking about how I am a mixture of both CC and Megan! Its crazy how I feel that you guys are truly one of my real life friends because of this podcast. I hope to meet you guys someday and become great friends. God bless you guys and your work, never let a bad comment stop your passion for a community of light hearted Catholic women! Keep persevering, I need you guys in my life! Also! I loved the 2 Luke episodes!! He is absolutely fabulous, I would so love to meet him one day too!

This podcast promotes such beautiful and holy things along with the beauty a woman’s presence has on others and her home! They are doing so many good things!

I tried so hard to get into this but it’s just two women out of touch with reality. It really rubbed me the wrong way how judgey they were about people using NFP in the past, and now they are both totally fine with it?! And the most recent guest with that dude who is going to be a doctor? 😬🚩

Normally like the pod. The most recent episode was so awful. Literally two hours of this guy denigrating women/girls. I really hope he spends as much time thinking about self improvement as much as he spends on how girls need to change their behavior! Gives me a lot of questions that he has so many critiques of women to jump into right off the cuff. How much time does he spend thinking about this? Happy that Meg and Cece cut him off/pushed back before he started criticizing women for …wearing makeup?? Also- as a single guy maybe he doesn’t need to set himself up as a dating expert. Or at least have the humility to clarify “in my experience” “in my opinion”. Come back when you’re married. So much ew.

Love this podcast! They cover such an array of topics, so helpful for a young mom and lady navigating friendships and the world

I wanted to like this podcast so bad, but the holier than thou attitude that they both have is just too much. Don’t waste your time listening.

These gals are truly the best and I feel like they are my best friends! I am a young Catholic mom expecting my third and I am so grateful to know that I am not alone in this! Thank you ladies for all that you do!

This podcast makes me feel normal and not alone! You two are so relatable! First of all, it’s hard to find Catholic content in general, but good Catholic content that is balanced and for the normal mom/young woman, tall order! Megan and Cece deliver. It’s not over on the liberal side and it’s not mad trad content, this is well balanced, fun, thought provoking relatable girl talk. Thank you ladies for this great podcast!

I wasn’t going to listen to 178 just because I had listened to a lot of the husband ones and at the time it was a lot about dating advice which didn’t relate to me at the time. But this one was SO GOOD! The conversion, the vaccines, the husband duties, birth- loved it all!!

LOVE this show! I’ve listened since day 1 episode 1!!! These girls, for being so young, have SO MUCH wisdom they share, on top of being relatable and hilarious. Everything they say they are about in their intro jingle is spot on! If you are a young Christian gal, give them a listen or two - I promise you’ll enjoy!

Seriously the best podcast to go for Christian advice about topics that are rarely discussed in the Church!! I love their honesty and relatability. I tell people about this podcast all the time!!

Used to enjoy this podcast until the hosts took on a holier than thou attitude and it got way too trad. Gave it another chance and listed to the episode with the husbands. I found Cecilia’s husband’s commentary around women’s bodies and pregnancy to be upsetting, especially when he said “women use pregnancy as an excuse to let themselves go.” Big yikes, makes me glad I married someone who isn’t a misogynist. Definitely wouldn’t recommend listening to this podcast unless you like misinformation, are obsessed with home birth, or have a close minded view of the world.

A woman called in from a place of insecurity, not having the same body after 5 kids. Cecilia and her husband proceeded to shame women saying they let themselves go and comparing it to a husband gaining 100 pounds, implying that not having the same body after childbirth equates to laziness. No talk on how the husband can support his wife’s fitness journey, work through how he perceives her negatively, or taking the kids so she can get an interrupted workout in. I am a military spouse and while my husband and I have not had kids yet, we live very active lifestyles and both intend to after kids. I find this extra disheartening to hear because they are both military couples. As a spouse, I definitely see there is a stereotype for many military wives, that they “lets themselves go”. It is also important to note that many of these women are facing depression and mental health issues while their husbands are gone for months. On top of that, they are on the clock all of the time with kids and usually are isolated/lack support from family being physically there. I do not think these women are just letting themselves go intentionally. I’ve listened to various different episodes and much input is delivered in a similar way. While I no longer am Catholic, I am Christian and still go to church regularly. I feel like rules and rigidity is praised on this podcast and represented, more than the emphasis on having an intimate relationship with God. Maybe that’s an issue I still have with the Catholic Church, but this podcast leaves me in a negative place after listening and the advice can come off as discouraging/judgemental to others calling in or listening.

I’ve been listening to the pod from the beginning and it’s the best! I look forward to it every Monday. I seriously think about the episode throughout my whole week- it makes me a better person. Thank you for keeping Christ at the center of girl talk! Luv you🫶🏼

I’ve been listening to this podcast for years now and I used to love it, especially when Cece and Meg would give their advice to girls calling in with questions. But lately, all Cece does is tear apart literally every person who calls in with a question. Meg tries to be charitable but Cece seems to think she’s the end all be all and arbiter of truth?—she can never be wrong and she consistently humiliates the poor women who text or call in with questions. I will say, at least she seems to have found a man who’s on her level, because Patrick is exactly the same—he definitely came off as arrogant on the episode he and Avery both joined, claiming that he just “tells it like it is.” It’s so cringey listening to Meg try to soften the blow that is Cece’s vicious take downs of anything she disagrees with. She actually admits on the most recent episode (when they call your baby their baby) that she’s tearing apart the mother who wrote in—and then laughs and continues tearing into her! So so disheartening. And if it were me, I would be so embarrassed. If I ever had a question, I wouldn’t go to them unless I wanted to be publicly shamed lol

Really wanted to like this podcast. On a recent episode, Cece detailed all of the things she will be doing as a new mother. Anyone who’s been a parent knows that you’ll adjust a lot of things. You may even do things you said you’d NEVER do (like respond to your baby when they cry at night or share a sleeping surface with them). She seems very certain that she knows exactly what to do because “we believe it’s best this way.” I’d approach motherhood with less rigidity, but rigidity seems to be one of the hallmarks of this podcast. For what it’s worth, I’m a young-ish Catholic mom who leans more traditional and favors more natural/holistic living and loves the idea of homebirth and more… but the tone of WITDH is superficial, judgy, cliquey and rigid (as other reviewers have commented). They are probably well-intentioned but could stand to take a break from podcasting for awhile, focus on their own spheres of influence and grow in humility.

To say I’m obsessed is an understatement! Me and my best girlfriends all listen to this show and love to divulge in all of the juicy topics. I don’t know where my life would be without this blessed!

I love listening to you girls every week! I even dance to your intro. You ladies are the best! Thank you for giving such positive Catholic perspective!

It’s pretty much the only podcast I ever feel like listening to because it’s so fun! It’s great to do the dishes, be supported in Catholic motherhood and womanhood, and yet not feel like a “productive” listen. It feels so good to listen just for fun and not to “consume information”. I hope that makes sense! Anyway, I love hearing your opinions and takes on life! Keep strong and keeping podcasting on!! Thank you!

I really want to love this show but it just feels overwhelming how judgmental and rigid it is. When I leave a wonderful group of Catholic women, I feel uplifted and supported. After every episode, I feel the opposite.

I feel in love with the show the first season when I found them on insta. I had been following Meg prior and have anyways related to the things she talked about. Meg seriously is the most genuine person and I could listen to her speak all day! Thanks for putting the show on! I love it :)

Love this podcast if you’re a young Christian or Catholic woman looking for a chill podcast this is definitely the one! It’s relevant and very funny. I feel like I know Cece and Megan even though we’ve never met😆 Also to the people complaining about the advice given to the women struggling emotionally from her husbands emotional infidelity. That same women called in a couple months after and said she took their advice talked to a priest and changed her mindset and now her marriage is amazing.

I love these ladies - they have helped me to grow in virtue while smiling and laughing along the way :) God bless you both!

The girls are so fun to listen to! In their advice segments, you can tell they put a lot of thought and love into the advice they give, which is all you can ask for, even if listeners don’t always agree with the advice they give. I love that the two girls have unique experiences and some differing opinions and views, the show would be boring and a bit fake if they were carbon copies of each other! Truly the highlight of my Monday morning. Ignore the negativity girls, you’re doing great!

Love these ladies! They’re authentically themselves & the pod helps me feel like I’m chatting with some girlfriends on the phone or over a cup of tea haha. I’m not a Catholic but can appreciate so many beautiful things about their faith & love listening in on their perspective. ❤️

I love this podcast so much!!! It feels like listening to friends every week. Cecilia and Meg are both in different places in life than me, they help me learn more and grow!!

I have listened to them since they started the podcast back in 2020 and was following Meg long before that. These girls feel like my friends and love that they are geared towards truth and trying to live out their Catholic and married life the best that they know how. I got married to someone in the military a little over a year ago now and following two girls who also married into the military makes me feel less lonely. I can’t imagine a Monday without having a little chat with them and them bringing up things to think about for myself and them challenging my own opinions. In certain cases when arguing i think about how Cece would answer a question which gives me more confidence and other times I think about what Meg would do which makes me more empathetic and determined.

They told a woman who was struggling with being resentful toward an emotionally unfaithful husband to let go of her resentment and pretend she’s in love with him. No mention of having a heart to heart with him about how she’s really been feeling or seeking help through a professional marriage therapist. They places all the blame on her for the way she feels, and made it sound like it’s entirely on her to stop feeling that way. They did recommend spiritual direction, which I have to give them credit for. But honestly that advice perpetuates the mistake in catholic circles of treating spiritual direction like therapy. But even with that aside, they essentially told this woman to surprise her feelings and put on a brave face. That’s not a recipe for a healthy marriage. Severely disappointed that this advice came from women who claim to be catholic. I have no idea why anyone is asking for their advice on such intimate and personal matters.

I love this podcast and think both women have so much to offer but in the past episodes, it’s just crazy how much CeCe takes over the entire question/topic and Meg is really only able to agree, I think Meg’s view is sooo important and she’s not getting a chance to shine as much as she should. Cece’s insights come off as condescending and she doesn’t give Meg a chance to expand on her thoughts. She always has the last word :/

I am floored by the negative reviews, and I just have a few things to say about it. Regarding the scandal that occurred after the episode on spiritual warfare with the former priest who spoke on the topic: HOW WERE THESE WOMEN RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SINS OF ANOTHER?! HOW WERE THEY TO PREDICT THAT SUCH A HORRIFIC SITUATION WOULD OCCUR?! In your right mind you cannot fault them for hosting him and they already made a statement. They are distraught by the actions of that priest, and they are right we need to pray for the sanctity of our religious they are not exempt from the temptations of the evil one. There have been some people talking about insensitivity I will say that we live in a culture (this has even seeped into our Catholic culture) that is always treading on eggshells to ensure not to offend anyone. Yes, we are called to charity, and there are ways to be charitable in a way that challenges others to own their faults or struggles and to not take a victim mentality to everything that is said. So having heard the podcast and the way Cecilia addressed the caller, you do have the personal responsibility of your emotions. If it is a topic, you are sensitive to there is probably a deeper issue that you personally need to address, and you cannot put the fault on other people. There is something that Jesus is revealing, and he wants to tend to it. Megan and Cecilia are not without fault just as none of us can be. We are all called into the Imitation of Christ. We are all truly the most impoverished souls and sometimes you do have to take things with a grain of salt. Absolutely love the podcast keep doing what you do ladies! So many lives are impacted by the work you do. Not catty, not gossipy, giving great advice to callers who have any types of struggles or concerns on particular topics which are very relatable. This podcast IS NOT a podcast on theology, it’s such a fun and easy one to listen to. They obviously talk about the faith in a way that is incorporated into day-to-day life. Don’t get me wrong I looove theology podcasts but sometimes I am not in the headspace to take in such dense information. I love how they talk about what is going on in their own hearts and the different seasons of life that they are in. They talk about beauty, relationships, homemaking, some political stuff as it pertains to the faith, birthing and so much more. When they don’t have the expertise, they bring on guests to speak to the minds and hearts of their listeners who may find themselves interested in a particular topic. You seriously cannot listen to their views on things relating to health and the shots and completely invalidate them on their perspectives. They (and you) have every capacity to use that God given brain and discernment from the Holy Spirit to guide the decisions you make. You cannot invalidate Meg on her experiences as a wife and mother when her discernment has brought her to the decisions that she makes on what is good for HER FAMILY. So for those saying that Meg has a holier than thou attitude examine your own heart and the insecurity that makes you believe that she has no right to the decisions she makes on her maternity and the well being of her family. Using the word “misinformation” is so overrated and no longer holds validity to those of us who are tired of the fear tactics that politics and others use to prevent us from using our God given intellect and discernment. The only sheep you should ever be is to the good shepherd.

Oh my gosh!! Episode 145!… Just YES!! Everyone should hear!!
