1. Frustrating episode - I love Mel and find so much of her work incredibly helpful and relatable. I found the interview with Dr. Hyman troubling. There is no medical consensus on the causes of ADHD. To say that changing your diet and will "cure" your ADHD is an insult to those of us who have struggled since childhood. There is actually growing evidence that genetics contribute to the disorder. Dr. Human's kind of fear mongering around food is so privileged and problematic...

2. Wow! - I just listened to the episode with Mel and her son. From a young adult with anxiety, every word he spoke resonated with me. I had to stop and write down the wisdom he spoke. Thank you both for sharing these vulnerable thoughts. I don’t think I’ve ever heard anxiety or the lessons on purpose spoken like this. It truly opened my eyes and has made me think differently.
2023-03-22

3. WOW! - I’ve been listening to Mel for a few months now consistently - times a week. I call it my “personal therapy” with Mel. She has helped me be a better person, mother, wife and friend. Really seeing into myself and grow into a better person for myself and those around me. I cannot thank her enough for sharing the knowledge with us. I look forward to listening every week.

4. Golden nuggets! Authentic and Relatable - Totally appreciate the real raw approach and wisdom. I feel like Mel is literally in my head! Love her humor and truth talk. Being the same age with kids and years of marriage with a successful busy career- every podcast helps me rethink and make space for improvements and growth. So glad I stumbled upon this. Keep it up Mel! Your content is golden!!

5. Best podcast - I have been a fan of Mel Robbins for a couple of years. I have read two of her books and absolutely love her content. Everything she says is relatable and applicable to everyone in some part of their life. I love it when she says this isn’t a listening podcast- it’s a doing podcast. She gives you real research and steps to improve your life!!! Thanks for being who you are Mel!
2023-03-17

6. Mel Robbins changes your life, if you let her! - No joke! She holds you accountable for living your life and reminds you waking up every day is a gift (no more snooze button even when it’s freaking hard!) What a mindset shift. Could do without the f bombs, but it’s her. Thank you, Mel! Can’t wait to listen every week!!
2023-03-14

7. If she says “based on science” one more time. - Ok, we get it…..”science” and “research” are the new buzzwords. It’d be better if she did an intro saying this podcast is based on science. Instead Mel sprinkles it throughout the podcast which is disruptive. Get to the point, although a lot of her points are the same point said different ways. Oh well, not my cup of tea, hopefully you get something from her.
2023-03-13

8. Mel Always Motivates Me - Mel, I’ve been listening to you for a few years. It started during my divorce. I needed a firm, straight forward, motivation to move forward and go find me. Your free advice has been worth more than any other conversation or books I’ve read. I’m in the rollercoaster process of reinventing myself. I’m finding courage. THANK YOU for continuing to share and inspire and being You through it all. Keep Talking, I’m Listening.

1. JP is one deep thinker. - JP Yoda I find him a very kind and caring man. He is strong enough to show his emotions with tears and also strong enough to speak his truths. His vocabulary sometimes is way past my level of comprehension but I love listening to him. Thanks JP for putting yourself in the social line of fire. You are making the world a better place for my kids.
2023-03-24

2. Great podcast but… - I was introduced Jordan Peterson by my husband him knowing that I enjoy psychological topics and educational content podcast. I have enjoyed his podcast and I appreciate the knowledge and experiences he & his guests shares in the show. Although I really wish Jordan Peterson will STOP interjecting guest speakers, and taking over their responses. I’ve watched his YouTube videos, and listened to quite a lot of episodes here. I find that he quite often interrupts the interviewees even HE ASKED the question. That leads me to think he just wants them to say what he want them to say… I often want to know what the interviewee had to say according to his questions(which are great questions). I just had to say this because it is often the case and it really bothers me when I’m listening to him. Other than that, I really like the content and the knowledge I am able to absorb from him. The world need someone like him to stand up and educate ourselves.
2023-03-23

3. Religions? - I would never vote for anyone that claimed everything is a religion. Just makes one look silly to say such outrageous things. Tell me this Mr President, can I get my application approved for tax exemption for climate religion? You know, just like christianity. Two completely different things. Also I hear several people say “woke” and I immediately ask them the definition of woke, never get a consistent answer, people just trying to give people that think differently than them a “jab”. It makes you sound ridiculous. This certainly wasn’t one of your better casts Jordan, I wouldn’t suggest to back this guy.
2023-03-22

4. Nope. - I’ve followed Peterson since very early days, and watched him turn from an engaging, thoughtful person with interesting ideas (though profound lacunae in his educational background and historical grasp), into an angry, bitter, rigid ideologue who parrots alt-right nonsense and only hangs around the worst sorts of media and academic personalities. All the fawning he receives from undereducated conservatives, which he seems to have taken to heart, is both unwarranted and sad. I fear for his soul.
2023-03-17

5. I can’t do it anymore. - Jordan was a great help to me in encouraging to make an effort to improve my life, which I did starting in up to now. But nowadays it seems Jordan is only interested in presenting doomsayer after doomsayer. There’s a place for these people, for sure, but it’s not what I valued from him and I’m very saddened by the change. I can’t fathom giving a star so I’ll give . Jordan, please find it in yourself to return to being a light for the world instead of doing the same depressing crap every other guy in your business is going today.
2023-03-09

6. Pseudo-intellectualism in a fancy suit - Was not prepared for how whiny this would be. Also looking into his credentials, he’s a psychologist, not an evolutionary biologist or a sociologist. Over many episodes heard this guy pretend to be an expert in both. I get why people are so opposed to him now. He’s a dapper snake oil salesman of rhetoric some folks WANT to be legitimized.
2023-03-08

7. Next level podcasting - I usually listen to podcasts/talk radio while I’m doing mundane tasks for me to zone out to and take in what information I can - this is not the podcast for that. When I listen to this I find myself stopping whatever I’m doing and either listening intently or making sure I don’t miss a single beat. In a world of junk-food podcasts, this is your superfood. Show it some respect and give it your full attention
2023-02-26

8. Deeply Thought Provoking - Dr Peterson has some really great minds on this podcast. I enjoy hearing his insights on the human mind. Sometimes these conversations get so deep I have to slow it down or listen multiple times to really understand. I highly recommend this podcast for new insights and intriguing guests from a psychological perspective.

Comments

1. Dr Ramani is truly a life-changer - I’m so glad you moved into podcasts! Your latest episode about Relationship Red Flags with Matthew Hussey was easy to listen to, informative, and reassuring. Your work educating regular people, free of charge, about the effects of narcissistic abuse, has affected my life in a profound manner. Please keep doing what you have been doing. You are appreciated
2023-03-23

2. Wonderful Podcast - Such an intelligent and thoughtful podcast. It’s a really entertaining and educational look at the subject. I absolutely loved Dr Ramani’s interview with Matthew Hussey. It was so touching when she opened up about her personal experience. She’s so beautiful, brilliant, and seemingly confident that I was shocked that she also struggles with self worth. Even though I’m married, I had a complete shift towards being more authentic and loving. My eyes were opened. Thank you, Dr Ramani, you are changing people’s lives.
2023-03-21

3. It was a mistake to have Matthew Hussey on - This man has made a career indicating to women that ) they can expect men will be disgusting to them ) he has the answers to help disgusting men be given a pass by women who trust Matthew Hussey, or at the very least given second chances to continue to treat them poorly. It’s not women’s responsibility to teach men. This culture fails women catastrophically by lifting men like Hussey to fame.
2023-03-21

4. THANK YOU Dr. Ramani! - How l wish to have known you so much sooner, but it’s never too late to dodge the next more likely worse narcissist or narcissistic trait high conflict being. I’m much more confident now, with your wisdom and guidance the past few years. Thank YOU for making it so much easier to understand whenever you giveaways those real life scenarios. I’ve shared your videos to the narcissist group or Parental Alienation group to support many from such abuse that is still not divorced even after divorce due to co parenting. I pray for you and wish you endless prosperity
2023-02-26

5. She is the ultimate guide on narcissism - Dr Ramani is absolutely amazing & every single time I listen to an episode I am always nodding & screaming YES!! when she describes the impact & experiences of what it’s like to be in a narcissistic relationship! and also suffer from narcissistic abuse. She gives real life solutions & can help you see things as they really are. She is THE BEST person to help you navigate narcissism.
2023-02-18

6. A MUST LISTEN for any woman dating or in a relationship - I’ve been looking for a podcast like this for years! Every single episode I’ve listened to I’ve had aha moment. This is the education that every woman needs when dating or in a relationship that is giving you any kind of pause. Dr. Ramani gives educational wisdom and guidance that is unparalleled. Highly highly recommend!!
2023-01-13

7. Interesting & Educational - As someone who has always been fascinated by cults and who has gone no contact with a narcissistic mother, I find it so educational to hear the similarities between what I thought were two completely different situations. I know now why my interest in cults has always been there. Thank you
2023-01-12

8. So so Helpful - Hearing the episode on generational trauma has hugely relieved a ton of guilt I feel as a parent. I’m in a very similar situation to the guest’s mother, and I have spent years - as old as my twin daughter are now - for being such an impatient parent. Having been raised by a mother whose behavior was incredibly narcissistic, I’ve spent a decade of my life trying not to parent my daughters as I was parented, and we are struggling. I am struggling, so hard. It was so helpful to hear this guest’s mother put within the context of the position in which she was left. That distinction between narcissistic abuse and the legitimate exhaustion of single motherhood within an ongoing dysfunctional family system was transformative in my thinking on this issue in my life. Having grown up in an emotionally, financially, spiritually, abusive home I have spent years thinking this irritability and nervous system activation of mine is a failure on my part to overcome the generational cycles. This episode helped me see that I am doing actually a pretty good job. Thank you for this. For real. I feel more empowered as a mom, and as a daughter who’s putting up healthy boundaries with her own narcisstic parent.

True stories for English speakers learning Spanish. From the makers of Duolingo, the most popular language-learning app, comes a new podcast that delivers fascinating real-life stories in easy-to-understand Spanish with English narration.

1. Can I have my brother back? - I’ve learned so much, and the stories are so powerful. But… can you add all the podcasts to Duolingo. I KNOW you have the power to, Duo. You could give three options: :”learn” where there are captions, but every so often, you have to fill in the blank to proceed. You could also learn what some words mean by adding the purple outlines on the words. Another option, “speak” could have you repeat sentences out loud. The other option, “listen” could have you just listen to it. Other than all that it’s great! Also, can I have my brother back—I miss him.
2023-03-22

2. A podcast idea pleas read - Dear duolingo. I love your podcast but the is one topic I would like you to make a season on. Please make a season on them finding Galapagos islands. That would make a great season. About all the things and trials they went through. Thank you for reading Sincerely -toucanfan. One of your users.
2023-03-07

3. Ideas - I have been learning Spanish at a rapid pace and am on a -day streak. I enjoy these lessons but I feel like an LGBTQ lesson would be really cool. Or like an animal lesson, where we learn more than just perro and gato. It’s also really hard to hear the speaking because of the background noise. If anyone knows how to turn it down, please help. thank you. love, Layla.

4. stars - Wish it had episodes organized based on level of Spanish used in the episode (ex - Difficult/More Experienced Learners, Intermediate Learners, and Beginner Learners) It has intermediate levels so if your just learning Spanish, it overwhelms you and leaves you confused. I am learning and I can’t follow along without being confused at least once every seconds. Kind of ruins the experience of trying to learn. :(
2023-03-02

5. Five Stars - I love duolingo podcasts, because you don’t have to know a ton of Spanish to understand what’s going on. The serialized episodes have action, and mystery. The non-serialized episodes don’t have as much of either, but they give you advice that you could use in real life, so that if you have a mom who says that when she’s old and crazy she wants to go to Puerto Rico or Chile, you would know where to go out to eat, or a neighborhood to visit.
2023-02-27

6. Love everything about it! - I recently started Duolingo after being introduced to it from my children and love it! The Duolingo app itself requires my full attention when practicing my language. With this podcast, however, I am able to reinforce my Spanish every day while in the car. I have tried podcasts before to utilize my time in the car while traveling to work but lose interest quickly and go back to listing to the radio. The story and history of Chile and the Itata this season have fully captured my attention. The story is so well scripted and presented that I can’t wait to get in my car to continue it. I am excited to go back and hear other seasons and love that I am able to practice my intermediate/advanced Spanish every day in addition to the few minutes I spend practicing on my app. Highly recommend!

7. I don’t understand all the words, but wow - The first episode about the shipwreck had me in tears — the story of this man who learns something that disturbs him and how he just made up his mind to uncover whatever there was to know about the wreck and the people on the ship. There is something amazing about a person with such a drive. The story is so interesting, the context is great. I’m looking forward to when I know more than words in Spanish so I can understand even more of the story. The inflections are pretty moving on their own. I can’t say how much I truly appreciate this podcast.
2023-02-11

8. Fascinating story to help learn Spanish - Duolingo podcasts are aimed at an intemediate level. If you want % spanish there are inumberable podcasts to listen to. It is nice and relaxing sometimes to have a little mixture of English and Spanish. Unless you are at a very advanced level Spanish only podcasts require constant concentration. What also makes this latest podcast”The mystery of the Itata “special is the exciting story. It has easy to understand Spanish, coupled with explanation of uncommon Spanish words. For example tripulaciones -the crew of a ship. Recommend it.

1. Rolling out the best! - These are the most interesting, easy listening, yet intelligent, down to earth conversations with some pretty smooth, delightful individuals! Rich is so cool. He is one of us to the core! Within each episode I feel as if I am at the table as an invited guest conversing and taking in the valuable rhetoric. Rich is the only podcaster who holds my attention, for real! He seems to understand the “human condition” and what it takes to speak to the heart of the matter. He really cares. Rich has a solid command of the English language and is almost poetic in his dialogue and communication skills. That comes from love and is fascinating and captivating! Thank you, Rich! Praying for your back and May God bless you and your family!
2023-03-23

2. I can’t get enough! - I’m always listening to the Rich Roll podcast (on runs, rides, during lifting sessions, driving, cleaning, you name it) and always sending links to my friends saying, “You’d love this episode.” I have no idea how many of them actually take me up on my unsolicited podcast recommendations, but I don’t care—I’ll keep doing it. Such a big fan of this show, it’s my favorite one out there & no others compare. Thanks for making PodcastLand so much better, Rich and team. You’re a part of my every day!
2023-03-20

3. Love this podcast - I listen to a lot of podcasts, but this one is my favorite. Rich is consistently authentic, thoughtful, mature, and has the vast vocabulary that I aspire to and that I love to listen to. My opinion of the episode with Adam Grant greatly differs from another (less enthralled) reviewer here. As for my tastes, they tend toward appreciation of brilliant minds like Adam’s and Rich’s. I couldn’t get enough of that insightful conversation. Those differences in opinion are what make the world go round.
2023-03-18

4. I look forward to Mondays! - I have been listening to The Rich Roll podcast since last Summer and can attribute so many wonderful changes in my life to the countless hours spent listening to Rich. As a mom to , with my newest born in October, I looked forward to Monday walks outside feeling inspired by this podcast and implementing small changes into my life. As a former mental health therapist turned create solo-entrepreneur, I appreciate Rich’s vulnerability and passion for his profound gift. My husband jokes that many sentences start with, “so I was listening to the Rich Roll podcast…” it’s funny because it’s true. Keep up the wonderful work
2023-03-11

5. Rich is Great - I’ve been all over the place in my thoughts about this podcast, and have run the gamut from regular listener to unsubscribing. Rich is an outstanding long-form interviewer which I truly enjoy. He’s an obvious liberal which can get exhausting at times, but it always feels like he is well intentioned and that he’s coming from a good place. He also seems measured in his political comments which is appreciated and welcomed by those of us with somewhat different political views. When Rich is joined by Adam it always goes badly. I don’t mind them together, in fact they have good chemistry. However, Adam is an arrogant, self righteous liberal who isn’t open to anyone else’s point of view and is convinced that he’s the smartest guy in any room, apparently because he’s been a successful ghost writer. Whatever. All in all, I enjoy Rich and enjoy many of his interviews. I could do without Adam.
2023-03-06

6. Awesome - Rich Roll I love the work you're doing. Thanks for bringing your authenticity and genuine self to the table. As an Army psychologist, I have to tell you that what you do matters and you are an inspiration to so many. Thanks for your refreshing, incredibly interesting, and though-provoking podcasts with the most incredible guests. You are rockin' the house. I recommend your podcast to so many of my patients; keep them coming!
2023-02-24

7. This podcast is changing my life - I am wayyy late to this party but I am glad I finally made it. A friend of mine shared the link to the Whitney Cummings episode and I was hooked. I’m a member of the recovery community so I definitely connected. I’m getting so much out of each episode and It’s all I want to listen to. I just finished the recent Colin O’Brady episode and I was sad when it ended. I’m recommending this to everyone. out of . Thank you for doing this!!
2023-01-14

8. Best Long Format Interviewer w/ Open Mind - Rich has a special talent. His ability to navigate a long format interview is fantastic. He keeps the pace, he is respectful, curious and open minded. He challenges when appropriate but also allows for thoughts other than his own. He is vulnerable, humble and I learn so much from his shows. Thank you for all you do, Rich.

1. Ted Talks has become much too “feel good” - Ted Talks used to be filled with interesting content to LEARN about our universe. It has slowly but surely become about being social injustice warriors with little else. I used to be an avid listener and loved the new to me information. Now I can’t find anything with science or substance.
2022-12-10

2. Used to be good diversity of topics - I find these shows quite interesting covering a wide range of topics. Of late, that scope seems to have narrowed. I don’t mind hearing opinions about climate change, for example, but it feels like show after show is about that one topic. Maybe it’s not so much a problem of the show but of finding people that want to give voice to other viewpoints or topics, so I get that, but I just wanted to give you that feedback. Not giving up yet, will hang around for a bit more.
2022-12-08

3. Bad news sources - All the news sources Christiane Amanpour lists as “trustworthy” are the ones lying to us and can’t be trusted. Not surprising, since this is coming from a CNN reporter. She barely scratched the surface on what is really going on in Iran and Ukraine. The tragic killings there are horrific. Where’s the in depth reporting? Climate change is not a global disaster, the policies being used to “fight” climate change is what’s causing the catastrophe on humans.
2022-11-28

4. Learning how to listen to others… - I enjoy learning what other people are thinking, and why they are thinking that way. It provides me context to hear what they are saying! Then I condense their thoughts into a summary statement. That way I can remember and share the mindset with others when circumstances allow me to do so. I would encourage others to try this…It enhances your appreciation for Ted talks!
2022-07-10

5. It was great but then -Now happened - I use to really liked Ted Talks. I started listening to it on NPR in . It was educational, scientific, inspiring etc. However it became super political, extremely left leaning, and more about racism, social justice, and just really biased. It stopped becoming scientific and inspiring. It is slowly becoming something…else. It’s like when TLC was the learning channel but is now the complete opposite. It was great they shed light on the issues at the time but come on. There are other things to talk about.
2022-06-02

6. Tolerable, better than nothing - There isn’t an easy way to order the items on a play list. Your “Up Next” view should have a way but it doesn’t. You can tell the app to play this one next or last but it doesn’t change position on the list so you can’t tell what order things will play in. Also can’t tell the app ‘I don’t want to listen to this episode’.
2021-12-13

7. Underestimating your intelligence - Twerking helps young women with their self esteem??? Seriously? How stupid do you think the people listening are? I remembered when TED talks was a serious organization with content worth your attention and brain space. I’m embarrassed to say I even used it in my work with young people. Ugh. So, so gross.
2021-10-04

8. So Disappointed - I have listened to and watched TED Talks for years, so decided to check out the podcasts. Yikes! What a disappointment. After scrolling through several episodes I was inundated with the recurring theme of climate change this, climate change that - including the topic that woman and girls can be the solution to climate change. How about a balanced episode that refutes the prevailing theories of climate change. How about some variety of topics - go back to the way you were - providing a variety of perspectives - some educational, some humorous, but always informative.

1. I adore you leo - I can’t put into words how grateful I am for coming across your podcasts. I’ve known about you for a while cause of tik tok but then I started to listen to you and it has completely changed my life. You are so genuine and your podcasts are the most comforting thing for me rn I Love you Leo
2023-03-22

2. highlyyyy recommend - I love these podcasts. They’re real and about things people don’t want to talk about or realize anymore. I found Leo on Tiktok a while ago and have never related to someone more. I’ve always wanted to talk about and teach people about these exact things and Leo couldn’t express it any better. Listen if you want to get real about your life. xoxoxo
2023-03-22

3. The best! - I feel like Leo is the only person that is so relatable yet so raw and real with what he speaks. I’ve never listened to anybody as inspirational, and funny at the same time. You have helped me so much the last weeks! Love you Leo! So glad I found your podcasts!! They make my work day x better!
2023-03-20

4. Listen it’s SO WORTH IT - I am not one to really listen to podcasts I loose focus and interest way too quickly. With that being said I first found Leo on tiktok and fell in love with his funny, yet tough and real personality. His podcast is one that you can really relate to (in some cases) or when you just need a kick in the pants. I will forever listen as long as he is speaking and putting it all out there.
2023-03-19

5. SO REAL! - Leo, I first found you on Tik Tok! You are not only fun and funny!!! But you are so real and we all need the real talk. Thank you for telling it how it is! I just started getting into podcasts and why it took me a couple years to find your socials idk but thanks for always making my day! You slay!
2023-03-16

6. Raw, Real, Effective - He is real, He is fun, He IS him. He says what’s needed in the least monotone way. This podcast keeps me engaged, my untouched feelings heard, and gives what most sugarcoat. It’s not motivation in the “go you!” way, but helps me recognize the motivation comes from within. He pushes me to be better but most importantly exposes why I’m not already. The guys control over his emotions, mindset, and communication from the heart is silently contagious.
2023-03-14

7. Love love love love Leo - Leo is one of the few real and raw people on social media as an influencer right now. I love the podcast and the posts, I look forward to hearing him speak. I know that sharing the experiences he has gone through will help others. I feel like Leo is one of my besties and he has no clue who I am

8. wow - i love listening to this podcast while i work at my boring warehouse job, nothing but looking at boxes can make you really hate being there but having my airpods while listening to leo not only inspires me but makes me randomly laughs and makes my time go by faster cant get any better than that. thank you

1. Out of touch with parenting - I really wanted to like this podcast, but the episode on parenting just left me feeling uninspired and unheard. It was as if the host and guests do not understand that everyone’s parenting experience is different and some struggle with the happiness of even being a parent. “Accepting that your vision of parenting is not reality” trivializes my struggle.
2022-11-21

2. Business speak for parenting - I’m a little surprised that something so nuanced, human, messy and beautiful as parenting is discussed like I’m in another business meeting. Modify your vision? Data seeking? No doubt these are impressive, smart people, and maybe it’s interesting to apply that filter to parenting, but I find it a little marrow and deflating.
2022-11-11

3. Wow, I wanted to like this podcast…. - I really wanted to like this podcast and did enjoy the first season. I’ve made it to the episode “When Partnership Is Not the Destination” and it’s gone off the rails for me. I don’t mean this personally, but the host has “vocal fry” and sounds like a teenager or a satirical skit from a comedy show. In this specific episode, her disdain for single individuals is palpable. In her defense, she did share at the beginning of the episode that she believes she must, no matter what, be in a relationship. Okay. Honestly, I expect higher quality from The Atlantic.

4. Single episode was disappointing - I was looking forward to listening to this episode and podcast and had to stop after about ten minutes. The content was limited. the interviewer was on one end of the spectrum and person interviewed on the other. I thought this might be an insightful and relatable episode. It was not.
2022-07-24

5. Please, I beg you - Olga should stop saying “like” so much. It takes so much away from what she’s saying. For example, in the friends episode: “As I tried to make friends for my personality article like I felt so awkward and like basically like a five year old on the playground and being like do you wanna be friends with me? And like, like I would literally rather do anything else than ask another adult that question like I’m wondering if that’s a universal feeling or like or what?” I counted at least from this episode from Olga and the first guest. Someone at the Atlantic noticed because most of the “likes” were removed from the episode transcript. It cheapens the show, especially because this is a highly regarded magazine. As a journalist, you would not write an article with that way, so don’t speak that way either. If you cannot be eloquent and sound professional, you should not host a podcast. Great subjects but it’s difficult to listen to someone speak so poorly.
2022-07-01

6. Hollow vanity project for a CV - Disappointed that this podcast is self-consciously attempting to be esoteric and erudite but is an Atlantic vanity project that, despite tossing out references to scholars & scholarship and employing the language of academia, is shallow. A discussion about the dichotomy of pain to define happiness is something a priest at my elementary school would have counseled. I would have expected much greater depth here. Yet that discussion, for example, ignores that people suffering real, chronic, debilitating, physical pain that does not kill them directly and never ceases. Further, rather than inclusion the podcast intentionally or not excludes the lives, experiences, and realities of the vast majority of the world. A podcast about the issues of heteronormative, economically stable, professionally successful white people on a quest to be % happier adds little or nothing.
2022-06-24

7. Bring Arthur Brooks back - Something about Olga that feels too whiny and all about her and her relationship. I want good convos with good questions. I came across this podcast because I was looking for something positive, enlightening, educational. The first episodes were with Arthur Brooks and he sucked me in. From his voice, to advice, questions and he’s just a great listener. I’m not so sure if I’ll continue to listen. I’m sorry.
2022-06-23

8. Lost respect - This show was OK, it was something to listen to while working that I could sometimes connect with, then I listened to an episode in which one of the host stated how she refuses to recycle (for no good reason) and how this upsets her husband and she doesn’t understand why. The blatant disregard for our planet and others feelings, especially her significant other really touched me the wrong way. Will not listen again, and unfollowed.

1. Interesting Wellness Content, too many ads, appreciate the different perspectives - This is a great podcast if you are into wellness and business. I love listening to the beauty, wellness, health, and business content. They bring on a lot of interesting guests with unique perspectives. There’s a lot of reviews saying they’re interviewing guests who are spreading misinformation and conspiracy theories. The whole point of this podcast is to show different perspectives, and literally ANYTHING can be called misinformation if you look hard enough. I personally hate reality TV, but sometimes I still listen to those interviews because they CHALLENGE my point of view. And each guest really does have something interesting to share. Duh, some stuff stated by guests and Michael and Lauryn is incorrect. They are all human with biases. In the podcast they also tell you to do your own research and be your own advocate constantly. So being upset about hearing things you don’t agree with doesn’t make the podcast bad. The one thing I really don’t like about this podcast is the amount of ads. They have increased them over the years and the interviews are shorter too.
2023-03-22

2. My favorite Wellness focused podcast - I’ve gained so much knowledge from TSC podcast! Don’t listen to reviews from people just looking for a reason to dislike Michael & Lauryn. I love how they call things out, challenge status quo and proactively bring all kinds of guests on the show. EVERYONE is entitled to their own opinion and I think it’s important to be a well rounded human being and to be aware of all options out there. If you have such a problem with someone’s opinion that reflects on YOU not the person speaking their truth. FYI you don’t have to listen to episodes you don’t agree with, no one is forcing you lol Cymbiotika, Acid Kicking Minerals and Test My Home episodes are so impactful and I’d recommend to anyone wanting to clean up toxins and increase health for your family. Also I’ve used a TON of products Lauryn promotes and ALL of them have been legit and great products. She truly promotes what she uses and I really respect that because she’s at the level where she doesn’t have to. That credibility right there. Keep it going M & L! I’d LOVE if you’d bring Coterie diaper founders on!! Mom of an month old here and I value your baby recommendations so much! Jim Carey would be absolutely killer too. I recall one of your guests wanting to have him as a guest!

3. Meat is not sustainable or cruelty free - Ridiculous discussing sustainability and cruelty free products when you also promote the cruelest and least sustainable industry (ie animal agriculture). It’s … who the F even still eats meat? So many better options for protein. Also, the Home Testing episode talking about EMFs is a joke coming from people that still eat factory farmed meat and dairy.
2023-03-16

4. Meh - I used to absolutely love this show but recently it’s lost it’s luster. I know a lot of the reviews complain about the misinformation but even putting that aside (I agree that you should do your own research), the uncomfortable sexual comments from Lauren and mansplaining/interrupting by Michael has really gotten to a point where it’s almost too cringey to listen to. Also would love some new guests that aren’t just peddling their same agenda.
2023-03-10

5. Please stop preaching that vegetarian / vegan lifestyles are unhealthy… - I used to be a huge fan of L & M and this podcast and have been listening for years. I have just unfollowed the podcast and won’t be listening anymore because I have officially had it with their bashing of a meat-free diet in every episode. I don’t eat meat for ethical and health reasons and have never felt better in my life. Recently in every episode they both talk about how not eating meat is super harmful and unhealthy and that could not be further from the (science-backed) truth. It is super off putting for them to constantly spread this kind of misinformation and bash a lifestyle important to so many. It just became too off-putting for me to hear every week and I write this review in the hopes that they can see this and take it into account.
2023-03-10

6. Woof - I just have to hate listen sometimes but Michael going full fat shamey calling people using GLP weak and lazy got me to finally shut it off. So bad. They’re also antivaxy and peddling health grifts as many other reviews mentioned. I would at least suggest they reformat and cut some of the ads and state the credentials and any resources ahead of any health advice.
2023-03-03

7. Hands down favorite from the beginning - I’ve basically listened to every episode from the very beginning. It’s extremely rare I don’t receive some sort of lesson or message from an episode. There are so many subjects, topics, conversations, moods, styles, shock factors, laughs, diversity, depth, banter… I could go on! Even if I don’t think the episode relates to me, I find myself pleasantly surprised with something I pick up from that episode. The banter these two have is like non other. What Lauryn and Michael have built is so impressive. They keep going and growing and I am so here for it. Thank you guys!
2023-03-02

8. Favorite Podcast - This is by far my favorite podcast. Love all of the impactful information. The episodes with experts and tangible wellness tips are a non negotiable for me to listen to. Could take it or leave it with the reality stars but that’s the beauty of a podcast you can take what you want and leave what you don’t. I’ve found experts who I love to follow now through this podcast and it has really broadened my outlook and at the same time niched down my interests. So glad that the content has evolved with their lives as I’m sure much of the audience has been with them for a while and are in the same stages of life. I’m personally in a semi parallel stage of life, happily married in our s with an almost year old and almost year old and appreciate the mom/child driven episodes as well! Thanks for being truly authentic to your lives and EVOLVING with the times.

1. The hype girl we all need in our life! - Ty is absolutely amazing. Her podcasts have helped jump start my self-improvement journey. I DM’d Ty looking for a specific podcast. She responded to me within just a few hours and published a podcast on the topic I was searching for that day! She spends so much time curating tools and resources for all of us to use. Grateful for you, Ty!
2023-03-21

2. Just wanted to say Thank You - I just to just say Thank you for the words that you give us each episode that you had given this week on grief. I lost my mom two years ago and dealing with grief has me feeling like I on a roller coaster and I’m not able to get off. But when you told us to say these words,” I’m gonna be OK” and that’s what I’m gonna do And face my life. Again, thank you for your words encouragement and this wonderful podcast.
2023-02-20

3. Don’t Abandon Yourself. - I recently subscribed to the podcast and in the most recent episode, things to do in , you said Don’t Abandon Yourself. I needed that more than you’ll ever know! My husband and I have recently decided to divorce and it’s hard but when you said that it felt like you said it directly to me: thank you!
2023-02-06

4. It’s Real Life Conversation - I love the candid conversation. I love that the podcast is relatable. I appreciate the transparency. I’ve been listening for about . years and went back and listened to the grief episode after losing my father. The episode that is my fave right now is the new episode . With such a loaded topic this episode said what I felt and gave clarity to what I could really put into words.
2022-04-02

5. Words for the soul! - This Podcast couldn’t have come at a better time. Like everyone else in the world, I’m dealing with family stuff, life stuff & more stuff and Ty’s soul shifting, & soul searching words/stories have such a personable touch. Her quirkiness, & tongue in cheek humor, is so refreshing. The episode about her Mom(Things every Mom should tell their daughter)was emotionally heartwarming & relatable. I have a year old daughter & hearing Ty say some of the things I’ve already done was sooo validating. I won’t name every episode, but another one that touched home for me was the people pleasing episode, wow! It’s so very important for humans to know we aren’t alone in this big small world, & that our experiences aren’t just ours alone. I’ve listened to hundreds of podcasts over the years & Self Care IRL by Ty Alexander is hands down a must listen to, repeat & share experience. Thank You for this gift of words & stories! We definitely go together!

Welcome, Friends. Storytelling has the power to not only create connections but provide universal truths about ourselves and the world. When listening to this podcast, I ask that you honor these stories and the rawness, transparency, and vulnerability that they invoke. Invite them with an open heart and you will see that all stories share a universal message. I pray that each anecdote leaves you inspired to share as the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "It is also charity to utter a good word.” But more i...

2. The Digital Sisterhood - When I tell you this podcast allowed me to laugh, cry, and most of all gave me goosebumps. A friend of mine sent it to a group chat for our close friends who are literally like sisters and said listen to it. Never in a million years I’d believe that I was listening to podcasts during my free time. And SubhanAllah even though we’ve never met and we live in different countries, your words and stories are like therapy. Jazaki Allah Khair for this beautiful and inspirational podcast, Salam!

6. honestly most relatable and inspiring podcast ever - A podcast that brings the stories of women and their struggles that connected them to Allah Subhanna Wa Tala is truly remarkable.

7. Non Muslim Fan - I am not Muslim and don’t even consider myself apart of a religion, but I love hearing these intelligent young women talk! I am learning a lot about Islam and the culture and about women’s attitudes (which are often misrepresented) about Islam. Very educational, very moving. Even if you aren’t Muslim it’s nice to hear friends lift each other and their community up! Love you all!

1. While not “New” a great breathe of fresh air - I found “JHS” via the Dudes at the Underworld podcast and am always looking to add to the rotation of open-minded, nuanced, and deep but fun conversations on topics that I know little or some about. I have listened to several varieties of podcasts of Similar topics and layout but JHS is such an easy listen. Stays on topic with guest (mostly) and doesn’t lose the conversation in the rabbit holes as most of these topics are deep and multifaceted. I enjoy the middle of the road approach to topics that are very divisive and tough. I do wish I would have found him earlier for sure.
2023-03-22

2. Jordan provides a light for a fellow attorney! - Jordan is a great communicator, interviewer, and provides thoughtful analysis on a wide ranging breadth of topics. As a fellow attorney, I love his pods on the mafia guys, undercover folks, and bizzare stories. You won’t find these topics on other podcasts. Plus, he has a witty and thoughtful banter with his guests, and always asks insightful questions. Selfishly, he also provides hope that you can find a career path you love after law! Keep up the great work Jordan. I’ll be listening
2023-03-22

3. My favorite podcaster! - I was an avid True Crime podcast fan. I decided one day that I wanted to find something new to listen to that would be interesting, inspiring and that I could learn new things. I found Jordan and haven’t stopped! I have now listened to episodes. He is such an amazing interviewer. He has guests that are so fascinating, well educated, and have either interesting stories or studies. Even subjects that I have thought I wouldn’t be interested in, Jordan’s approach and guests pull me in and keep me intrigued. Super a breath of fresh air! I love what you do! Thank you, Jordan!
2023-03-19

4. Very interesting and informative. - I love listening to the Jordan Harbinger show. He has amazing guests and interesting interviews. He is always well prepared and informed. Feedback Friday is also informative. They answer an array of interesting questions and present thought provoking dilemmas. Gabriel adds a lot to the discussion. I highly recommend this podcast!
2023-03-18

5. Excellent Podcast!!! - I love this podcast! I heard about it from another podcast, The Opportunitst, and I cannot stop listening. Jordan is an excellent interviewer! The guests are fascinating and span such a wide breadth of topics and perspectives! Jordan often says he is interviewing the most brilliant and interesting people in the world and he is not lying. I have recommended this podcast to many who have a variety of different interests.
2023-03-17

6. The reality is here even if you don’t want to hear. - Really great insight to personal problems. There is usually hard to hear every episode. I would personally like to hear the truth and learn to deal than live in a lie. I have found that advice is usually best when it’s from someone who isn’t emotionally involved in your life. These guys are it. Funny and Serious. I find it hard to stay balanced with such tact and compassion, these folks know how to give feedback on a Friday. The interviews are my favorite though. Experience counts! Great work team!
2023-03-17

7. A must. - This show is very smart -without being intellectual. There is a topic for everybody - many topics for everybody - and JH is an amazing interviewer. He knows the topic being discussed every time, and teases out the info that will resonate to people hearing about it for the first time - while teaching those who may already know the space a thing or two. The Friday episodes are the same: something for everybody. And the balance of JH, Gabriel, and the experts they pull in feels like balanced, considered advice. It’s on my weekly rotation, has been for three years, and I share with my friends, family and colleagues all the time.

8. Jan Bromberg - My heart breaks for this family. I watched the Netflix show before finishing your podcast. The ’s was such a different time and my sisters and I all experienced abuse but never told anyone until very much later in life. She was so brave to tell her story. Thank you for having guests like this on your show.

1. Used to be a lot better than it is now - They’ve been repeating the same motivational speeches for a few months now, just in different orders or running shorter episodes that might just highlight one speech instead of a compilation. This is for you if you need to hear the same thing repeated literally every day.
2023-01-25

2. Great motivation but… - Love listening, but the music in the background is WAY too loud! The music itself is fine, but I like to turn it up, but then the music distorts and makes it hard to listen to! I’d listen more frequently and recommend this podcast if it weren’t for this. Doubt anyone from the podcast reads these reviews, but if you do just a suggestion.
2022-10-21

3. Needs more diversity - I like this podcast and I've gotten a lot out of it, but I've noticed that about % of the speakers featured sound like they fall into one category: straight macho male. The furthest I've heard them stray from that stereotype is straight not-quite-as-macho male. Newsflash: there are plenty of successful, inspirational women and soft-spoken men out there who've given incredibly motivational speaches. Don't get me wrong I love the speakers I've heard on here and I don't want them to go anywhere, but we'd all benefit from hearing different types of motivational speakers. I'm always hearing the people on this podcast pushing for growth and risk-taking. Well guess what Motiversity? It's time for you to practice what you preach and grow a little bit yourself.

4. Great Motivation - Response to “Help” - I love this podcast! It’s a daily requirement. It always inspires me to action and I need this reassurance while I’m pushing past my mental barriers. For the person who left the review looking for the podcast featuring the WallStreet Trapper story about learning stocks in prison, it’s Episode ! Enjoy!
2022-08-29

5. Love it! Just one suggestion.. - I’m really enjoying this podcast. A quick motivational lift I enjoy on my drive to work! My only suggestion, when playing music in background sometimes it’s too loud and I can’t hear the speaker. Unfortunately I don’t get the full benefits of the episode. Would love to clearly hear it all!
2022-06-02

6. BEST PODCAST EVER! - I listen to at least episodes a week! All the episodes can apply to anyone, any age, and any situation in life. I am absolutely addicted to these! I can not say enough good things about them! Every time I feel down, they bring me up. Its also a plus that they do mention God in them.

7. Great Motivation - I’m a truck driver being out here on the road day after day, I love my job but also when I’m out here running I I turn this on pretty much every morning and listen and it’s starts my day off on the right foot some of the speeches I can really relate and it’s helps me out a lot keep them coming.

Deepen your language skills and knowledge of the French-speaking world through fascinating true stories in easy-to-follow French, with added English for context. From Duolingo, the world's #1 way to learn a language. Hosted by Ngofeen Mputubwele.

1. No audio translations make it an almost pointless Podcast. - If the show provided audio translations to the French language spoken in each episode I would give it stars because the over all concept and production value of the show has great potential. It’s really frustrating however, how the show switches between English and French but the only option the listener has to verify their French comprehension is to look up the transcript of the show. This totally defeats the purpose of a podcast. Because podcasts are largely for listening audiences (whether they are visually impaired or not), and it’s kind of known thing in the Audio content business to always describe and translate things that can not be heard, I’m just confused what Doulingo is thinking here. For example, when someone is driving a car and listening, how likely are they to pause the show, go look up the transcripts and replay what they heard while reading the transcripts? Just really frustrating. Duolingo, please be mindful of accessibility.
2023-02-23

2. Put podcasts back into the Duolingo lessons - I would really love it if you would put the podcast back into the lessons. I have completed the whole French course and the whole Spanish course, but would love to keep earning XP using the podcasts. I have to keep doing the same lessons over and over again (not a terrible thing, but also not ideal) in order to continue to earn XP. I have a long streak ( days) that I really want to maintain.

3. Duolingo is a Lifesaver! - My daughter moved to France four years ago. We talk every week sometimes multiple times. Duolingo has enabled me to hold simple conversations with her and her friends and now her husband! How awesome is that! She has been wonderful helping me to get clarifications on some assignments and show higher in lessons. I now have a day streak and don’t plan to break it! Thanks Duo!

4. This French is so so so amazing - I love this French and that is a reason I put a five star revue and here are some reasons why: . I can understand most of it. . The stories take place to Paris witch is a country I love . . The people are like me. . It is in French witch is a language I love . . It is very interesting.
2023-01-21

5. I love the English French - I love the narrator explains the backstory, it makes the French way easier to understand. I can understand most of what the Frenchspeaker is talking about. I appreciate the French speakers speak slowly and with basic vocabulary. Interesting, real stories on fashion, art, food, and other things I like.
2023-01-19

6. - Okay, I’ve only listened to the season one trailer and I already hate this. . I love podcasts but this one is boring. . The description says “easy to understand French” but I can’t understand most of it. . It also says “interesting stories” but this makes me want to take a nap. Bonne nuit!
2023-01-14

7. Perfect for the more advanced but… - I tried this podcast as a beginner just starting French and I would say DO NOT TRY IT! As a beginner I couldn’t keep up with normal French speeds and it really confused me but no that I’m more advanced I can keep up and this is great for learning tips and some more phrases you might have forgotten or never learned I highly recommend for the more advanced au revoir!

8. The Best App And PodCast (TBAP) - I love thé app (Duolingo) that it helps you speak any language that you want like French to help you speak sentences! Like j’habite à Berlin (i live in berlin) or nous sommes un orange (we have an orange) The App helps you to speak any language in an easy way! But the only thing I don’t like about Duolingo is that mostly all the languages DON’T have a PodCast

Comments

1. The Daily Lib - I’m really surprised by the arrogance and narcissistic personality that Ryan exhibits on this podcast. He’s at his best when he’s sharing the wisdom of the Stoics and at his worst when he’s offering his own personal and very partisan, leftist political views. There is some great information here, but be prepared to step through some self-righteous, liberal thought. And make no mistake; you’re not welcome here if you have a dissenting view. He makes that very clear on a recent episode when he said if you don’t agree with him…..he doesn’t need you and doesn’t want you. The ego is the enemy, Ryan. Great book. Have you read it?
2023-03-23

2. So disappointed. - I thought this was going to be an inspiring podcast . Instead , he criticizes every political figure that isn’t on the left! Doesn’t he realize that Republicans also look for wisdom and inspiration ? Why would you make fun and belittle anyone that doesn’t have your opinions if you’re a true stoic ? Wouldn’t you want to listen and find common ground. I bought the books and now I feel tricked by a schiszter who pretends to be someone looking for wholeness and goodness and discipline over the ego.
2023-02-25

3. Amazing! - I can’t say enough good things about this podcast. It has absolutely helped me through some pretty hard times. I look forward to playing it every morning and The Daily Stoic: Meditations on Wisdom, Perseverance, and the Art of Living (the book that works as a pretty awesome companion to the podcast) has been really useful as well! Highly recommend anything by Daily Stoic. :)
2023-01-29

4. Great insights but flawed - I really appreciate the stoic insights and ideas. I have purchased multiple books by Ryan Holiday. The philosophy has been immensely helpful to me personally. The two main issues I have with the podcast are: ) Ads - I understand you need to generate income to make it worth your while. But ads are sometimes very out of place in the middle of a deep, thoughtful conversation and disrupt the podcast. Sometimes the ads alone are a large chunk of the shorter episodes. ) Too preachy - Ryan tends to get up on his high horse and even tell his listeners to unsubscribe if they disagree with his opinion. His political biases shine through occasionally. And he seems to cal into a same trap that many other do - equating his political positions with righteousness. It comes through in an off putting and combative way. I would love to hear his further thoughts on this. Maybe I’m missing something. But it seems like his anger and self righteousness is causing him to alienate many listeners. If Ryan’s goal is to further promote and share the ideas of stoicism to people from various backgrounds, I think adjusting the above would be a step in the right direction.

5. As you wish - As the government gets bigger, the individual becomes smaller. You said if I disagree, to unfollow. I have purchased your books, I write in my journal and introduce friends and colleagues to you work. I believe you have a blind spot. I don’t think many of the participants in our government care about their constituents. I believe socrates explains it best with the sweets salesman and the doctor. I do not understand why you do not want different opinions. You say the opposite. When it matters most, who is above debate and the need to understand others. I will unfollow you like you asked. Thank you for my first steps. I will leave with quote from Thomas Jefferson… “The spirit of resistance to government is so very valuable on certain occasions that I wish it always to be kept alive. It will often be exercised when wrong, but better so than not to be exercised at all.”

6. Great stoic philosopher, not a great Stoic in practice. - I find Ryan’s writings on Stoicism very inspiring. I love his books, recommend and buy them as gifts for those I love. In this podcast however, he tends to cast aside the very stoic values he so passionately writes about. Temperance, one of the five stoic principles, is what you must arm yourself with to get past the things that will frustrate you about this podcast to bring yourself to actually purchase one of the books this man has so eloquently written. Temperance also seems to be the principle he needs to work on the most. His books are worth it. His podcast is debatable.

7. Learned something today - I’ve been accustomed to having my eyes opened by the material on the Daily Stoic, but not like they were today. Today listeners were told - to paraphrase- if you disagree with me, unsubscribe…don’t need ya, don’t want ya, by. So Daily Stoic has my money. Wondery has my money. I’ve lost a few dollars but learned a lot about Daily Stoic. Wishing you all the best.

8. January th pod - Todays pod was powerful and very much appreciated. Strong words to end the message that political violence is wrong and “if you think otherwise you can unsubscribe, don’t need ya.” With all that’s going on in the US today the Daily Stoic keeps me grounded and helps me to focus on the important things in life. I just got The Daily Stoic book for Christmas and I love it. Something to read everyday and meditate on helps me to get focused and centered every morning before I start my day. Thank you Ryan Holiday keep up the good work.

1. Adding this to my morning routine - I just listened to about episode straight and actually started a notebook to write down some of the gems. I’m going to start incorporating these episodes into my daily routine! I love the bite/sized approach because sometimes mindset / motivation can feel overwhelming. Thanks for sharing this knowledge and inspiration with listeners!
2023-01-23

2. Thank you - I started listening to this podcast when I was sad and felt lost in my home country, Nigeria. The daily motivation I listened to during traffic in Lagos gave me the confidence and zeal to want better for myself and come to the United States. It’s my th month in the states and this still keeps me going as I face new challenges. So thank you Lewis, thank you for inspiring us to leave limiting beliefs behind and build the life we desire

3. Validation of My Being - Listening to Lewis for just a few days now, I can honestly say that I’ve validated so many of my recent discoveries and learnings about love, life, and my mind. Having an original thought is a great feeling, but it’s an even better feeling to think you have one and then you realize that people are with you out there in the world, and people are thinking the same exact things and holding themselves back from the same positive energy that they need to make their days bright. I’m a huge fan now and will be listening all the time!

Great episode! Kevin always keeps it real, just like Lewis does! Keep bringing the great content, inspiring messages, entertaining and thought provoking guests and authentic vibes Lewis!! I am a life long superfan and consider you a valuable friend and mentor!!! Love and Light always

5. Tools to become a better version of you - Lewis has devoted his life’s journey to helping us become the best version of ourselves. With his newest podcast, he is offering quick hits of daily wisdom designed to keep us motivated and on track in meeting our goals in life, business and in our relationships. His podcasts have served me incredibly well over many years now and I will continue to be a regular listener to The Daily Motivation AND The School of Greatness.

6. Power-packed teasers! - These brief episodes pack a punch. Vanessa Van Edwards, body language expert, shares why the first televised Presidential Debate, Nixon vs. Kennedy, cost Nixon the election. He didn’t look Presidential! Neuroscientist, Dr. Andrew Huberman discusses motivation, external and internal rewards, and the importance of dopamine. Listening to these short episodes makes me want to listen to the episodes on the School of Greatness Podcast. Keep the greatness coming, Lewis.

7. I can’t wait to get up in the morning - I love waking up in the morning and listen to this daily motivation show first thing in the morning. It gives me not only motivation and positivities, but also stars intellectual curiosity to further explore and meditate on them throughout the day. This show touches different topics every day to educate us as well in different areas. I often ended up continue listening to full episode. I’m so grateful for this show. I’m a big fan since the st episode and I have no plan of missing any of the future episodes Big thank you to Lewis for all you do!! I’m so grateful for you!

8. A No-excuses every-day essential! - Lewis’ content has inspired me for the better part of the past decade, and once again he’s pushing the envelope with a new format to continue delivering value. Back when I used to commute I’d knock out - podcasts a day. Since transitioning to working remotely it hasn’t been nearly as easy to sit through an entire podcast. These bite-sized clips are exactly what I need to be able to get these invaluable tips and motivation every day. I can throw these on while I’m washing the dishes, brushing my teeth, or doing any quick daily task. Once again, Lewis finds a way to inspire and educate us with fantastic content!

2. Love this podcast! - I absolutely love this podcast I listen to it every morning. My routine is to listen to a motivational video/podcast every morning I’m listen to this twice a day which make sad to see I’m almost caught up to the latest. I have already quoted this podcast over times. Also I have shared it with over people that are close to me. Glad to have stumbled across this podcast.

3. Amazing show with amazing advice - Just get out there and do this stuff, it really makes a difference. The advice is practical and helpful for people navigating this world trying to make a difference. I appreciate you for blessing us with this show. Real advice and real context from a very real person. Thank you for what you do!
2023-03-11

4. Great perspective - Bedros allows us to view life from numerous different viewpoints by giving advice and perspective on different aspects of life. He has displayed how one human can grow in different points of life by building a brand, growing wealth, while continuing to be mentally and emotionally healthy. He seems to want all humans to grow and I recommend all listen to his podcast.
2023-02-23

5. Very grateful! - Words cannot express my gratitude that I found Bedros on YouTube, which led me here to the podcast. I love both platforms, this just doesn’t have the interrupting commercials…especially when he’s getting right into the meat of a subject. As a person I’ve been on an enlightenment path since about . But recently my evolution has taken a turn, with a focus on myself as a MAN, and what that all is supposed to look like. I’ve found my answer here and I already feel a peace in my soul and energy that has been lost for quite some time. I listen to the episodes over and over and over again until I can finish Bedros’ sentence. Thanks to ALL involved with making this program work, I know Bedros is the face of the franchise, but everyone else involved deserves mad props too! Seriously, I love you guys and keep up the amazing, life changing and life saving work!

6. Very inspirational - I love this guy! He keeps it real and doesn’t sugar coat a thing. He gives a lot of valuable information. He interacts with the fans as well, really chill dude. I can relate to you because my parents came to America as immigrants, I feel like your the big brother I never had, I appreciate your content and for inspiring me to do better! He’s funny smart and very entertaining to watch. I’m still learning and in the beginning stages but I’ll get there I know it! Thanks for being real keep doing what your doing brother!
2023-01-26

7. What Americans/Humanity need!! - I first heard of Bedros when I came across one of his YouTube video months ago. Something he said that day hit me and stuck with me ever since. I listen to this podcast because I genuinely believe I am becoming a better person, a better man. Bedros provides critical but helpful feedback, and daily motivation that helps me tackle the challenges I face. In a world full of fakes, Bedros is as real and raw as it gets. I truly appreciate all the tips and advice he provides as I’ve been able to look at life with a different perspective. He doesn’t just give you surface level advice but goes in depth with his personal experiences and his first hand knowledge in all aspects of life. It’s the first thing I listen to in the morning on my way to work and even my wife enjoys listening to him. If I could give it stars I would!
2023-01-25

8. Need vs Want - In a world full of people that seek out someone to tell them what they WANT to hear…Bedros tells us what we NEED to hear. He doesn’t sugar coat anything. He doesn’t make false promises. He doesn’t speak from a place that he, himself, has not been at some point along his rags to riches journey. Regardless of the topic, he puts his all into sharing as much insight as he can to help his audience become higher level versions of themselves. Guarantee you’ll be hooked after just one episode!

1. Gabby Is A Miracle!! - I am so beyond grateful for this podcast and can't help but recommend it to everyone. Every time I listen there is just so much love and good energy that comes through. As someone really looking to deepen my relationship with the Universe and being a student of A Course In Miracles, this podcast came to me right when I needed it. Gabby is vulnerable, honest, and authentic. Her guests are absolutely inspirational. Overall, this is just a truly amazing podcast. Thank you Gabby! And thank you to your team!
2023-02-21

2. Absolutely life changing, but… - Update; I’m now giving the podcast stars, after so many episodes I have realized there are too many ads. I get that brand deals and ads are how money is made. I believe that an episode with more than ad breaks is ridiculous, you get minutes of pod and minutes of ads. And it’s like that through the whole episode, even if it’s a bonus episode! I listen to this podcast to help me be more spiritual and to learn new skills, but after the first ad break everyone after that just irritates the heck out of me. I want to go back to loving this podcast, please do less ad breaks. I’ve never loved a podcast so much. She really does have an answer for everything! I’ve listened to every episode on Spotify, some more than once. If you’re Looking fora good, clean, fun self help podcast this is where it’s at.

3. Listen to Feel Good! - I love that Gabby is doing a podcast now for Dear Gabby! I went off social media summer and haven’t gone back. Gabby is one of maybe three people I truly miss seeing on Instagram. Her guidance has been such a blessing in my life. I first read her book Judgement Detox two summers ago. I was introduced to EFT tapping and have fallen in love with the practice. I’m an elementary school counselor and have now started spreading the joy of tapping to my coworkers, students, and families. I have gone on to read more of Gabbys books and have shared many of her teachings with others as well. If you have come across Gabby’s podcast it’s for a reason. Listen and enjoy! I know I do! I went to write a review and never finished my first one. Gabby is amazing!!! I cannot wait for the next book about IFS. I’m in love with it already.

4. Physical Pain Episode - I love listening to this podcast, but I do pick and choose the ones I listen to. I listened to Season , Episode hoping there would be something about chronic migraines/headaches. I have suffered from headaches since I was a child. One of my first memories is my mother giving me an adult aspirin crushed in sugar. I was diagnosed with migraines in when I was years old. I have been on lots of medications both preventative and acute. I have done acupuncture, chiropractic, massage therapy, meditation, I still get at least one migraine a week. No trigger has been found. So any inner direction would be helpful. Thank you.

5. Expect miracles - After listening to Gabby’s minute positive affirmation meditation for days straight as recommended (and I still continue daily as I now have it memorized ) and Gabby was right - miracles did happen. I have been manifesting getting my healthy gf/vegan cookies with no refined sugar or inflammatory oils into Bonberi Mart for a year. Nicole (@bonberi) is a huge inspiration to me (and a friend of Gabby’s!). On day of this meditation I dropped off my first wholesale order of Superfood City cookies to Bonberi Mart which sold out in a week! It has been a long time coming and it all finally fell into place. I have never felt so sure that I am a miracle worker and that all is well

6. This is awesome - Love this podcast! Gabby I is awesome love her spirit and all she brings. I listen to many podcasts on many different subjects and I just want to say that I absolutely love this podcast, Gabby is on point with her answers and what she advises, I’m truly inspired by her!!! Have a great y’all, or I should say let’s make it happen!!! Blessings

7. Guided Minute Meditation That Will Change Your Life - Came across a minute meditation podcast where Gabby asks you to listen to it for days. Then come back to leave a review telling what positive changes have occurred. I have experienced a lot of magic and growth within me. So many teachers have appeared on my path through music, audio books (The Wisdom of the Council), books (Medical Medium), blog posts, and social media. All had a profound message for me especially with where I’m at in my growth. I was ready for every message, all were loud and clear. I’ve started the Medical Medium morning cleanse and have improved my health so much. I’ve created a prayer practice that happened organically because there was so much gratitude of all that was happening, I started talking to God, my angels and spirit guides more often-asking for help, support & guidance and also giving A LOT of thanks. So much more love has come to me and because of that, so much more love is at home with my family, and that’s been the best part of it all. Having improved relationships with my spouse and kids. Thank you Gabby! I continue to listen to this every night before bed . Sending all my love and gratitude to you!

8. Ep. / Nov. manifesting meditation review. All IS well! - I’ve been a big fan of Gabby’s for years and thorough enjoyed “May Cause Miracles” and “Judgement Detox.” This meditation came to me at the exact moment it was needed. I felt stuck in life, my partner was battling an illness that came out of nowhere, and I was slipping back down addictive habits that didn’t serve me along with anxiety and depression. So a -minute -day meditation challenge seemed like a “well, everything is going crazy, we might as well try this” thing to do. days later… I’m blown away. All I did was listen to the meditation as consistently as I could and I prayed for trust. My partner’s illness is healing beyond all expectations. My job has improved. I’m on a path for health and healing. And we found out yesterday that I am pregnant. I know, I know. This sounds too good to be true and unbelievable. Trust me. It feels that way, too. But it is true, and I’m living it. MAY cause miracles?? Y’all. This is insanely powerful. Blessings to all who hear this podcast, that it can bring as much joy and relief and happiness and wellness and comfort to them as it has to me. Thank you, Gabby. Thank you for sharing your spirit. All is well.

1. Love from a Jewish home girl - Rachel - I can’t remember how I found your show but I started listening after I listened to your amazing book, Girl Wash Your Face, as I would run along the Santa Monica and Venice bike paths while living in LA. Cut to . I’m an aspiring NYT bestselling author. I recently listened to the episode where you told listeners that your “first” published novel was actually your SIXTH. my first novel was rejected by literary agents. I’ve decided they’re just dumb. I have four other novels on google docs in various stages. On that particular day, I was considering closing those tabs. But your story moved me to the point where I started to tear up mid-run (I do that a lot- and often listen to your podcast while running) To paraphrase Tony Robbins in a recent episode, I’m in a winter season. I can only hope listening and implementing the advice of thought leaders like you can push me to the next season. I’m so grateful for your work, your energy, your wisdom. All my love, Jillian Rose

2. Rachel - I hope you get this as I don’t know how to use Instagram yet. So love your show and your energy, you are truly blessed! But at this time I wanted to send my condolences to you and your family at the loss of Dave! Even though you didn’t continue your marriage & you now have a great relationship with your Boo, please remember to take time to grieve as you have shared kids no matter how they came into your family and he will always hold a tiny piece of your heart! All the love, hugs, kisses and energy to hold you up at this difficult time! Love, Erin

3. Phoney Bologna!! - Hey Ladies, Stop Apologizing written by Maja Jovanovic. Ring a bell?! You know the work you totally stole and put your name on? You’re good at Plagiarism that is for sure! Whole career has been stealing others work or literally winging it. Guess it doesn’t take much to be a self-help guru. OH SISTER, pull yourself up by your boot straps. Copy paste copy paste change that word copy paste.

4. The absolute worst - I don’t even know where to start. Just another wealthy white woman telling women to support her to make her more wealthy. She’s just mean in her videos and on her podcasts. I also hate how she always blames her team and never takes responsibility. Absolutely disgusting. Do better. Rachel isn’t a licensed anything so take everything she says with a grain of salt. She isn’t a licensed therapist and has no education or professional experience or accreditation.
2023-02-05

5. Guided together - Your podcast is a blessing! I really got back into listening to you in and I feel like I’m living a spiritually guided path along with you. You talk about everything I love God, Universe, spirit guides, healing trauma, IFS, I could go on forever. The interviews you have been doing give my such a sense of like heck yes! This this is the stuff we need to be talking about. You rock and just keep on rocking! Thank you for your work. Sending so much love.

6. Good lady - I’m and / years old. Rachael is an awesome mom, girlfriend, and lady in general. My mom started reading “Girl, go wash your face”. When my mom told me she had a podcast I tried it out. The first day I spent the whole evening listening to her! Very positive and uplifting. I am a christian myself, but I don’t curse, and I don’t believe in the universe, so that’s why I gave her a four star. -

7. No Shame - She is a chameleon who changes her personality and values to leverage the vulnerabilities of people who are seeking connection. Essentially, she’s a grifter who will do what she needs to do to make money. She does not care for anyone other than herself. It would be great if she was truly “cancelled,” but toxic people like her are like cockroaches who always come back to gaslight people into thinking that their past egregious behavior either didn’t happen or shouldn’t hold them back from continuing their grift. And, sadly, here she is. People who care for others don’t do it for book sales, clicks, or likes. They just do it. Also, anyone who follows the deeply misogynistic teachings of Tony Robbins should be scrutinized.

8. Jeffrey - Hi! I am just wanting to send out my heart to Jeffrey, you, and your family, Rachael. I am praying that the poor sweetie will heal quickly, and that his anxiety and fear subsides with time. My baby girl, who has passed, was attacked by an Akita. It grabbed her neck, but her arteries weren’t punctured, thank God. I was just sobbing hearing about what happened to Jeffrey. I am a fellow animal lover, and I am so happy to hear he survived. I will also pray that Jackson and his friends will heal from this. This is one of the most traumatic things that can happen to a pet and pet owners. Shower your fur baby in lots and lots of love. God bless you and Jeffrey. I know the year will be much better for you from here on out.
