Childproof

1,426

Parenting is hard, but it's even harder when you feel alone and have only the sounds of Cocomelon to keep you company. Betches Media’s 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.

    The ads on this show need to be fixed!
    I love Gwenna and Tori, but Betches needs to fix how they do podcast ads. Ads masquerading as content is annoying and disingenuous. I will never buy anything from Honest or Splash because of how annoying their ads have been. MAKE ADS A SEPARATE THING, DO NOT TRY TO INSERT THEM AS CONTENT.

    I can’t listen to this podcast anymore
    I really love the advice and wisdom that Gwenna and Tori share. Their anecdotes are so helpful and reassuring but the constant advertising is bonkers. Not only are their 2-3 minute ad breaks but a lot of the actual podcast content is SPONSORED. I was so relieved when they were done with splash refreshers ads but now it’s Honest and it’s worse because they’re sharing what sounds like actual advice but then they shoehorn in a product. It skeeves me out. I’m sure this comes as part of being with a specific content company and not wholly their idea, but I give up.

    Foul language
    Gwenna needs to watch her potty mouth on YouTube and on her podcasts

    Favorite core memory
    A few years ago I decided I would take my kids on vacation even if it was only a small one, which has turned into our yearly camping trip. The very first year I did this I rented the only cabin available within a Midwest driving distance, which happened to be at a little state park called Buck Creek State Park, Buck being close to butt, and buck creek being adjacent to butt crack, so the entire several hour drive, my kids were in the back seat giggling their little heads off about our cabin at the butt crack park.

    Great Show But Volume Issues
    I love this show but Tori in particular does a whisper thing when they’re speaking seriously, and it’s so difficult to hear. I eventually have to turn the volume up like 5 clicks, only for the volume to now be super loud because they’ve gone back to regular speaking volume. Please consider adjusting! I really want to hear the content.

    thankful
    Tori and Gwenna make me feel seen as a parent. I just began listening to this podcast and I’m recommending it to everyone I know. I also had a traumatic childhood. Trying to parent better than I was has been a whirlwind. Thank you for the sense of support and validation you have given without even knowing it.
  • RizzySompps
    A MUST !!!!
    Gwenna and Tori are, I am convinced, my Mom soulmates. The encouragement, the solidarity, the no shame game, is a refreshing take on parenting these tiny humans. Being a parent is hard enough without the fear of judgement from others constantly sitting like a gremlin in the shadows ready to attack. The real, vulnerable, humorous, inviting, and encouraging moments makes me feel like I am not alone in the trenches of being an elder millennial parent. And thank you both for the inclusive verbiage when discussing situations and potential outcomes. Pronouns and the fact that you mention that not all families look alike are a testament to the work that you both have done and continue to work on yourselves.

    I love Tori and Gwenna
    I have been following Tori and Gwenna on various social medias for a few years and I just found their podcast 😭❤️ when I tell you I RAN!! They have honest and helpful advise on parenting, momming, and adulting!
  • jkuehn15
    Awesome
    Love the spring break episode it was really entertaining. I was laughing out loud sooo much!!! The Storm convo was entertaining especially since I’ve lived in spring storm time and winter blizzard areas!!! And I would take that over the wild fire area I currently live.
  • Lynnseyfaye
    Relatable
    Todays episode was awesome you two! Gwenna, I loved what you said about your eldests fashion spreads, I myself went from dark academia to ranch wear and I can relate so hard. 😂 as a southern Oklahoman myself, the tornado excerpt was hilarious and so true!
  • fifjtfhid
    Love this podcast

    Must Listen!
    As a parent of two young children, this podcast brings me joy, solidarity, validation, and new ideas each week. I love Tori and Gwenna, and I’m extremely excited to read Gwenna’s new book! Keep the amazing, down-to-earth, mindful stories and advice coming!
  • dblk11
    So relatable
    When Gwenna and Tori talk, I feel like I’m sitting there having a conversation with them. They are so relatable! Makes me feel like I’m not alone in my thoughts or practices. Thank you for being a real world example in true millennial fashion.
  • Jamie Tudor-Lazaro
    Super helpful!
    Love them both so much! Found them on TikTok before the podcast, became even more obsessed and now it’s what I listen to while cleaning the kitchen and it’s my favorite “me time” activity! Just ordered the Momma Cusses book and can’t wait to read it! Thank you both for getting us all through the trenches of motherhood
  • Dee in NY
    Love this podcast
    I am 51 years old. I listen to this podcast to help me change the way I was parented. So I don’t pass that on to my children and grandchildren. Thank you Gwenna and Tori

    Love
    I don’t was watching the YouTube thing all year and now I know the podcast

    🙌🏼👏🏼
    This weeks episode was just amazing. I cried when you told the story about the your old library. I just downloaded the audible version of the book. It’s roughly 6.5 hours of listen time. I just might finish it today. I’ll still get a physical copy of your book. Keep being yourselves ladies, I absolutely love you both and hope I get to be just a fraction of a person and parent as you. ❤️

    I WAIT EVERY WEEK FOR THIS PODCAST
    Hi hi beautiful people! I am so so thankful for this amazing podcast. It brings me joy (I literally laugh), it inspires me to take care of/re-parent myself, and unashamedly highlights how being imperfect is part of being a human—and it’s OKAY. I am so thrilled, I was able to order Gwenna‘s book yesterday! It’s coming in the mail later this month, and I anxiously anticipate its delivery. To the lovely hosts, thank you for starting this podcast. Thank you for being honest. Thank you for sharing ways you are growing still and have grown in the past. Your vulnerability and authenticity in this space are so needed, and yours is the podcast I MOST look forward to coming out weekly. I always forget what day it posts so whenever I start to feel like “it’s been awhile since I heard their voices” I start daily refreshing my podcast app in excited anticipation. I am not a mom yet, but I have wanted to be as long as I can remember, and in recent years I have been scared that my difficulties with mental health would destroy that dream. Lately I’ve been more hopeful, and this podcast has been a major part of me realizing I don’t have to be perfect to be a mom. Breaking generational curses isn’t for the weak. This podcast is a RAY OF FRICKEN SUNSHINE in my week, every week, and I will loyally listen as long as episodes are going up. Sending love, health, wealth, and happiness to you both!!!

    Great listen
    Funny and useful. And really funny
  • Jo Rylie
    Needs less advertising
    I absolutely love the show BUT there’s too many advertisements. I expect ads on Facebook and other platforms but I really liked the early episodes when there were less advertisements. I want to enjoy the podcast with 2 minutes of advertising max.
  • CW;p
    Highly enjoyable
    Couldn’t get enough of you two on Tiktok. I really enjoy your conversation style and relaxed format. Thanks for making parenthood feel accepting and relatable. (BTW my kid’s word I don’t want to let go of from the MLP days was horn-icorn. They also called Twilight Sparkle Toilet Farkle 😹)
  • Justyne921
    Realistic parenting view
    I love that you both have different viewpoints and different backgrounds. The parenting style is realistic and I love that. I wish my parents had used this type of parenting.
  • Broadway + Anime = Awesome
    Just a Chill Podcast
    I’m not a parent and don’t plan to be, but I follow their TikToks and enjoy the funny anecdotes. It’s also nice to learn better coping skills and how to regulate your emotions without suppressing them, which is something I’m learning from this podcast.
  • Don't Wait... Just buy it!
    Not a podcast person
    I’m not a podcast person but I going to become one after listening to these two amazing parents. Loved every episode.
  • AJ$2000
    Thank you Ladies
    I have a son that I have had a hard time getting on the same page with over the last few months but since I have found your podcast we’ve been so much closer and happier thank you
  • 💀😊😭🥳🌚
    I love y’all so much
    Y’all popped up individually on my fyp and I slowly got into it, and now I’m totally obsessed
  • Snowflakelove313
    Seriously love
    I came across Tori on TikTok and then found out about your podcast. I never have listened to podcast before….I love your show! You both are awesome and thank you for being you!
  • Swimmyswimswim
    I’m not even a parent and I still love them
    I’m not a parent, I’m not planning to be a parent anytime within the next ten years, but I still find their banter and advice on stuff like communication and self-regulation to be invaluable. These two have such fantastic chemistry as cohosts and their conversations are always a joy to tune into. I know some folks are complaining about the ads but honestly, the ad frequency is on par with similar podcasts I listen to. We live in a capitalist hellscape and ads are just part of the podcast experience. The Childproof ad reads are not that bad, nor are they so distracting that my ADHD brain can’t keep track of what’s going on.

    The perfect melding of different outlooks
    I quite literally wait all week for this podcast! I love that you both bring different points of view but meld them so well. I love hearing discussion of the differences without making either of you feel ‘wrong’. *teenie tiny Elsa hit me right in the feels🥺*
  • lisa_s_94
    Ads are over-kill
    Talk for 10–15 min Advertisement Talk for 10-15 min Advertisement … and rinse & repeat. Y’all are still new to this. I’d encourage you to reassess & do a better job balancing how much content you’re giving vs. how many ads are being played.
  • kysaysstuff
    Thank you both
    This show turned me into the “I was listening to this G R E A T podcast the other day” kinda guy and I don’t care what people say about it. Personal anecdote: I was at my wits end, didn’t know where to turn with parenting, and like most first generation cycle breakers, had no one to turn too. Que (queue? Q? Idk, you get it) me remembering Tori and Gwenna had a podcast. It felt like finally having the community and help I desperately, DESPERATELY needed to orient myself and start making meaningful changes in how I was raising my kids. Thank you both for putting this out there, you two have felt like a comforting friend I can turn too when I feel like pulling my hair out.
  • Addie_ Parry

    Mom of two toddlers and LOVE both of you so much! I feel valid in my mom feelings after listening to you both on TikTok and now your podcast. Things I thought made me a bad mom, I’ve realized actually make me a good one and it’s literally because most of the things I do, you do too lol. Thank you for making this podcast! You’re both amazing and both are hilarious! Looking forward to your book Gwenna! (Ps. Tori needs to write one too lol, you’re outlook on life is what I need)

  • Rae The Awesome
    Amazing
    I already follow Tori and Gwenna on TikTok so I was very excited to find those podcast. It’s incredibly helpful for those of us learning to no only gentle parent our kids but ourselves as well.
  • Jessssd
    Great podcast!
    Love! As a first time mama, this podcast is exactly what I need to help me understand gentle parenting and not taking everything so seriously.

    Childproof
    Love love LOVE this podcast! I’m never on tiktok anymore but started following both of these great ladies there! And I just started listening to podcasts recently! This is 100% my favorite podcast out there! Nothing else really compares
  • Charlotteruthless
    Not a parent
    I’m not a parent and I don’t have any intention of becoming one but I still love this podcast because it helps me “parent” myself better. I have learned so many tips for organization, self-regulation, and so much more just from this podcast. It also helps me go back through my childhood and figure out what my parents got wrong and how that contributes to my mental health problems as an adult. I also have learned many tips I can and have used when working with the public. I love gentle parenting Karen’s through a meltdown!
  • Gondizzle
    So addictive
    Just binge listened to every single episode 😂🫣 so relatable and helps me in my never winning goal to be the “perfect” mom, thank you so much for reminding me it’s not attainable but to keep trying everyday to do the right thing ❤️

    It’s a good thing to listen to when it comes out, buuuuut the sorry not sorry episode had so many ads crammed in it was a little jarring. Hopefully the next one won’t have so many

    Always Makes Me Feel Better.🫶🏼
    Today I dropped my kids off to school and cried the whole way home, y’all’s podcast always makes me feel better. And not to mention makes me feel not crazy for motherhood not being as Pinterest perfect as I thought it would be before I had them.😅 you guys are the actual best! ❤️

    The online village for when yours is limited
    As a first time mom I’ve needed this podcast! It makes you laugh and cry and give a little sigh of relief. I love how they’re just real about motherhood.
