1. I love you Jay!! - I wanted to leave a message to you here after meeting you - I was truly starstruck and did not know how to react. I’m not even sure if I introduced myself, but my name is Sophia and I am one of your biggest fans. It was an absolute honor to experience your show and meet you in person. I truly did not know how to react when meeting you because you inspire me daily with your podcast and everything you share on socials, not to mention the life-changing show I attended before getting to meet you in person, mind truly blown. (btw highly recommend to everyone, hope this tour was the first of many!! Unlike anything I’ve ever experienced before) I attended the SF show and the entire experience felt like an out of body experience where I felt connected/ in alignment with my heart & soul the entire time. I laughed, I cried, and created priceless memories. I brought my mom to the show who I am now convinced is an even bigger fan than I am! We listen to your podcast, read your books, and discuss you & the topics you’ve introduced us to almost daily. Jay you are a very special human being and have changed so many people’s lives including my own. I truly hope and pray more people like you exist in the world on well known platforms because we need this type of wisdom and knowledge to go viral everyday!! I have always felt so out of place in the world and when I turn on your podcast I feel like I found the friend I’ve always been searching for as well as the community I’ve always longed for. Thank you so much. I wish I had better prepared before I met you so I could’ve shared this all in person, but you were just so kind & humble which made it even harder for me to process because I truly view you as such an incredible person! How could someone so normal be so inspiring and have such a tremendous impact on me? But that’s what you teach us - we are all humans, with the same beating hearts trying to live out our purpose. Simple yet so powerful. It was an absolute honor and pleasure. I hope to attend every show of yours and also have another chance to meet you with more intention behind it. I love you Jay!! Also, just wanted to mention how I loved each introduction for you was a recording of Radhi announcing you! Every detail of the show was absolutely incredible. Thank you for everything Jay! PS Radhi if you’re reading this I love you too!!

2. Your podcast titles are a misnomer - It takes you - minutes to get to the topic as advertised and then you don’t always do it. Stop taking so much time to interview folks about their personal life (it gets boring) and cut to the chase. It’s almost like a “bait and switch” with your podcast titles. Disappointing.

3. Thank you, this about meditation session on Calm! - I have been a long time listener and also meditate with Jay via the calm app, and it was there that I heard the say it: “to be sure to shine the light light in their faces, not IN theirs eyes. It’s very cute; that’s why I sent it to me! Alison Schuback

4. Keep Going - I'm a happier and more purposeful person because of all that you and Ravi have created Jay. For the brilliance you share, I've been sharing your book, Daily Jay, and OnPurpose podcasts with more people than I can count in my own life. Thank you for the tremendous impact you continue to have. Keep going.
2023-03-02

5. My favorite podcast - I have been listening to Jay’s podcast for years, and listen to Daily Jay every morning too. It has been so good for my mental health and I just feel like a better, more loving, confident and capable person because of what I have learned from him! And his wife! I love following both of them on Instagram too!
2023-03-01

6. Life change content - I have always seen the name but never felt the need to dive in to Jay’s context. One day my Reiki master suggested “Think like a monk”. I was hesitant and I thought to myself let me commit to listen to a few episodes before I invest in his book…. I can honestly say I’m an truly grateful for all of the information Jay shares with the world.
2023-02-27

7. Getting smarter and stronger every time I hear this Podcast! - I have been following Jay Shetty and Radhi Devlukia from more than an year now. I love their work and their love towards sharing their knowledge for each of us! I came across Jay’s podcast as a resource to improve my mental health, and I am a lot grateful that I did! Thank you so much Jay from the bottom of my heart for sharing such useful knowledge and bringing such knowledgeable discussions to improve each of our mental health!

8. My morning cup of mindfulness - I was actually born in India. In a crazy hippie cult. Then raised in countries. I was a little white haired year old when my parents signed over my custody to another family in an Indian law office. I never went to school and had a baby at in Italy. Short of the long is that. I’m a survivor. I’m so grateful I ran across your podcast about a year ago. When my world is chaotic and I feel trigured and exhausted by everything on my plate. I put my earbuds in and listen to your podcast. It helps me feel grounded and have clarity. I also listen to the Daily Jay on Calm while sitting in the sauna at the gym. When I can. Thanks for all that you do. The wisdom that you curate is healing and so needed. Have a lovely day! Jay

Dan Harris is a fidgety, skeptical journalist who had a panic attack on live national television, which led him to try something he otherwise never would have considered: meditation. He went on to write the bestselling book, 10% Happier. On this show, Dan talks with eminent meditation teachers, top scientists, and even the odd celebrity. Guests include everyone from His Holiness the Dalai Lama to Brené Brown to Karamo from Queer Eye. On some episodes, Dan ventures into the deep end of the po...

1. Great variety of topics - Although Ten Percent focuses quite a bit on mindfulness as a route to happiness (which works btw!) Dan Harris often ranges more widely in these discussions and takes on topics of great interest if you are, as he says, trying to “do life better”. Dan is a skilled interviewer which makes this podcast very informative and enjoyable to listen to.
2023-03-02

2. sujatha baliga-with gratitude - I have listened to TPH for years or so, and every now and then, an interview stands out and grabs my attention. The episode with sujatha baliga and restorative justice/forgiveness filled me with awe (Dacher Keltner) with her story and of what could be. So grateful for the podcast and the amazing people this self-deprecating skeptic-seeker called Dan Harris brings to our hearts.
2023-03-02

3. Love this show - I’ve been listening to it for several years and it’s become my morning, get-my-head-straight ritual. It goes great with coffee! I’ve been introduced to healthier ways of thinking and operating in the world. My meditation practice has definitely improved. I appreciate the balance of mind/body/spirit teaching with scientific data to back it up. And Dan Harris’s journalistic approach, vulnerability, and humor are the magic sauce that make the perfect morning dish!
2023-03-01

4. Amazing content - I’m have struggled with a meth addiction since . Since starting to listen in , this podcast is a centerpiece of my recovery. It’s helped me build a sense of spirituality through meditation while also giving me helpful tools for when my addict brain raises its voice to remind me it’s there. I’m currently months clean. The content on this podcast regularly helps me with introspection and self-love among many other qualities I am working on cultivating. Amazing work Dan and the team.
2023-02-28

5. Great podcast! - Like the title implies, this podcast is full of advice and perspective that will make you a little happier! I think the host Dan is a good stand in for the average listener, he offers just the right amount of his own opinions and asks great questions. Overall, excellent podcast! I recommend to anyone who loves crime podcasts but is feeling a little depressed on them, give this a try!
2023-02-28

6. They Listen to feedback from listeners!! - First of all, this show is fantastic! I wrote a review a few years ago outlining why I love this show. It has made a huge impact on me, and over the years an impact on my community as I am a program director of a residential drug and alcohol treatment facility, and I share these concepts and practices with clients as a certified mindfulness teacher. (Not trying to sound conceited, I plant seeds and invest in the process, not the outcome). The book and podcast absolutely sparked my journey to health and a bit more happiness. The reason I decided to write another review was because they changed the intro music!!! Which I have asked in the past during their surveying, among other suggestions and feedback that they absolutely followed through with. Love that Dan does most of the ads, as the ads in the past were incredibly jarring and loud, which took away from the vibe of the podcast lol. So I just immensely appreciate the fact that the team at TPH listens for feedback and makes changes accordingly for their audience. Thanks again Dan and everyone!!! You guys rock!

7. Major Acclaim for Dan Harris & % Happier Pod - I stumbled upon this podcast through a recommendation when going through a tough time in my life a little over years ago, leaving college to be exact and feelings like I lacked direction and understanding of myself and the world. I’m not going to say this podcast turned that whole perspective on its head, but I will say that Dan’s story himself, the guests he’s had on the show, and the intentional strategies shared made managing the experience a whole lot easier. To this day, I still listen to the pod and what I love most about it on a macro level is that Dan hasn’t taken his foot off the pedal an inch. You can tell the subject matter of meditation and his curiosity in interacting with a whole host of different guests is genuine. When I first started listening, I was unsure of the legitimacy of meditation as a means to improve not only mood and lower anxiety, but my overall worldview and ability to manage change and challenges that life inevitably presents us with. Thank you Dan and production team for having such a terrific, insightful, and engaging podcast that has truly helped encourage me to change my life for the better.
2023-02-15

8. This has become my favorite podcast - I started out finding the host a bit annoying, and thought he might be too skeptical or cynical for what I was looking for. But over several years, either he’s calmed down or I’ve gotten used to his style and have grown to really respect the caliber of guests he invites, his topics and how they often feel so relevant to me, and the intelligence and grace behind his interviews. You’re doing a great job, Dan! Thanks for teaching me so much.

Insomnia? Mind racing at night? Worries keeping you up? Tune in for a bedtime story that lets you forget your problems and progressively gets more boring until you fall to sleep. So get in bed, press play, close your eyes, and drift off into dreamland.

Release date: 2023-03-22

1. Love it - I have been listening to this podcast on and off for years to help me sleep, especially when I was working midnights and had to sleep during the day. I’m unsure how I even found it but I’m so glad I did. I think I found it when I worked a job I had to be there at am and it helped me so much. Just the little twinkle introduction is soothing to me at this point
2023-03-15

2. I love this podcast! - It works only little complaint I really have is just there is tab bit too much of ads I understand you need money but it’s way to much and also when you’re doing the ads you amplify your voice way too loudly like come on it’s a sleep podcast calm down and it causes me to be awake but all that aside it’s good podcast and it puts me to sleep every time also helps me calm down my anxiety I love this podcast
2023-02-24

3. Excuse me, what? XD - Just read a review from a listener who doesn’t seem the brightest in the world. “I dont support a podcast that pushes left wing beliefs” like what are you talking about? The host literally only talks about shows and movies they like, what about that is political??? But anyway, my insomnia has been pushing past my meds lately and this podcast really helps me go to sleep. It also keeps me from having mental breakdowns in the middle of the night. They’re voice is so calm and comforting- unlike any podcast I’ve ever heard. I relate to how their mind works and how they explain plots in such a silly way. This is the podcast i needed all my life while dealing with insomnia
2023-02-06

4. Riddled with ads constantly making desperate pleas - This is an ok sleeping podcast. But the insufferable desperation for “support” seriously ruins the show. The most annoying part is that he makes it sound like he’s desperate for funding to feed himself when really the “support” is just adding more about adding more “cream” or profit to line his pockets. Check out another sleeping podcast. There’s tons of them and they don’t hound you ad nauseam for “support”.
2023-01-31

5. Thank you - Thank you for your safe place. So very appreciative. You’ve helped so many wound-up days and nights. Hope you know or can at least imagine how valuable this is. Weird how a stranger can make you feel comforted by saying “I’m just here to be with you through the deep, dark night.” It’s something I never thought I needed.
2023-01-20

6. This is a strange trip - It works in a most annoying way. Not sure how Scooter does it, rambling so inanely that one can’t help but fall back to sleep. Just as I realized I was clenching my jaw in annoyance and was about to give in to the urge to switch to another podcast, I heard him mumbling something about making sure my vacant stare was “slack in the jaw” and I stayed the course with this warlock reader of insomniac minds. I didn’t even make it through the intro, so next time I need it I’ll adjust settings to turn it off after just one episode. But I’m not exactly looking forward to it.
2022-12-31

7. get in bed turn off the lights aaaand - aaand listen to min of ads a plugs. Finally you played this uncomfortable jingle about ur patrons . But wait there’s a min ramble about how infuriating it is to have insomnia and overthinking. I’m not positive this show isn’t completely trolling. Maybe I’m missing something. First time listening btw. I can’t guarantee it’s not the last but I’ll give it a try. So far I hate it
2022-12-27

8. Essential - I found the podcast during college in when my roommate/best friend went abroad and I had to live with a stranger who snored very loudly. My friend and I would always talk before falling asleep, so not having her company left me staying awake all night and feeling incredibly lonely. Sleep with me was the friend in the deep dark night I’ve needed, and Scoots has kept me company on three continents across many countries and time zones since. Now as adults, I always put Sleep With Me on as my best friend and I drift to snooze when we have the rare sleepover.

Have you ever looked at a situation you’re facing in utter disbelief and thought, "How will I ever get over this?" Lysa TerKeurst understands. After years of heartbreak and emotional trauma, she realized it’s not about just getting over hard circumstances but learning how to work through what she has walked through. Now, she wants to help you do the same. That’s why Lysa teamed up with her personal, licensed professional counselor, Jim Cress, alongside the Director of Theological Research ...

1. The awareness window - Thank you for this podcast! I heard you speak at Elevation Church and had to look you up. I’m listening to S E, I keep rewinding the episode to hear it over and over. It’s all making so much sense, the being stuck developmentally and how much emotional immaturity I see in myself, and the dysfunction that runs in my family. How do we get “unstuck” and mature? How do we heal? I need articulate, tangible practices to incorporate into my everyday life. God is answering my prayers though you work. Thank you for doing what you’re doing and sharing your journey with us Adriana
2023-03-20

2. Thank You - I stumbled upon this podcast as I was so desperately trying to find something to bring a little hope back into my life. I am just coming back to God after many years of just knowing I could never be forgiven for all of the terrible things I have done in my life and that I absolutely am not worthy of his love. Turns out that gets tackled in the first episode. Lisa sharing her stories made me realize I am not alone. I feel for once in a few years, hopeful. Thank you.
2023-02-23

3. Just started listening - I just started listening to this podcast. I like it so far because I enjoy learning about psychology and how we can heal if we work on it. Season episode was a little bit confusing because they state the following: “So we already had a session on that. If you missed that, we'll put a link so you can go back and listen to that one.” There was not a link to this “previous session” and because this was episode of season it was very confusing because there is not an episode before this.
2023-02-22

4. This is a great starting point, and little support moving forward - I have really appreciated the insights discovered in these podcasts & am so thankful for the efforts…. that said, I have had a very challenging time finding this place to leave a message & further, have reached out to Aacc.net to no avail locally, & have found that Jim Cress has a waitlist beyond that. I know that u intended this to a b temporary “pause” while ppl await help; rather, that is not the case.
2023-02-15

5. Usually A Fan…. - I’m usually a fan of Lysa, which is why I started listening to this podcast. My first episode was about porn-demic, however, and I stopped listening after the third time Lysa said “I just don’t get it.” I feel like that’s the attitude and language surrounding porn that keeps married men silent about their issues…
2023-02-05

6. Helpful - Hi Lisa, Thanks so much for this! I am a new fan. The - podcasts have been helpful & informative. I really appreciate the careful, professional insight from Jim & Joel. It matters to me very much to think biblically about these issues while not glossing over what has really happened. Thank you for using your story & wisdoms to help others. It truly does.
2023-01-30

7. So good and so needed! - I’m so glad you guys are doing this podcast! It makes all the difference to be educated and equipped to deal with your own issues and stop unhealthy cycles, that have been happening in your own family history for ages, and have them end with you. I’m thankful for grace filled, intentionality here too, and understanding that we’re all on our journeys. My thanks to all three of you. I have one observation on the episode with pornography and addictions (I think), and that is: it might have been helpful to have another female guest who “gets it”. It’s definitely a subject that is heavily discussed on the male side but not the female side when it comes to addiction, and if female viewed pornography has jumped % since , than it can only help to bring in more insight there. Thanks for letting me express that! God bless and continue your good work!
2023-01-23

8. So Helpful - This is by far my favorite podcast I’ve listened to, regardless of genre. It’s so helpful as it makes you realize the feelings you have are likely similar to so many other people. It gives your practical techniques and knowledge as to why you may be feeling a certain way and how to handle/cope with it. Highly recommend!!

1. One of the best podcasts I’ve listened to - I’ve been following Mari for years now and it was no surprise that her podcast would be just as fantastic as her supplement company and workout guides. Your podcast has provoked new thoughts and I have learned so much already. I look forward to every weeks new episode.
2023-03-24

2. Learning - Im thankful for this podcast, for Mari’s community and everything they do to create a healthy fitness community where people like me (that doesn’t consider herself too good at doing healthy things for herself) feels encouraged, inspired and supported and most important that learns with resources like this Thank you, keep slaying
2023-03-24

3. Monday Gym sesh self care!! - This podcast has absolutely transformed my Monday workout sessions!! Every Monday I look forward to listening in as I have incorporated the show in my self care routine. I get off work and head to the gym and turn the podcast on to time my hourly workout and really listen while I work on myself, my body, and mind. Please tune in and listen if you are interested in improving your overall wellness. I love it!!
2023-03-24

4. Much Appreciation! - I’ve been following Mari for year and have also been a Bloomer for as long mad they’ve been alive. I relate to Mari’s story so much and I love that she is so proud of her story and openly talks about it so other people can know that they are not alone. That you for all that you do!
2023-03-24

5. LOVE - I have loved the message of Mari and all of her work for years. This podcast represents all of that in more. I love that she is sharing all of this health information to people who may not have access to it. I have learned so much from each episode and can’t wait to see what more she brings!
2023-03-23

6. Most genuine host and guests! - Pursuit of wellness is my number one podcast that I look forward to every week! Mari has such a fun and calming presence it’s the perfect way to start a Monday! Every guest is highly qualified and talks about the real life applications of their perspectives and specialties, which makes the entire podcast so relatable and real. So thankful for this!
2023-03-23

7. Fountain of Knowledge - I love this podcast! It really opens a dialogue for the way that different people view wellness and fitness and health. With so many avenues to feeling like your best self — Pursuit of Wellness presents to listeners ways to think about perspectives and different ways to love your body inside and out. Thank you Mari and team
2023-03-23

8. Love - I honestly have a hard time with listening comprehension as a visual learner, so podcasts have been hard for me to get into in the past. However, as a follower of Mari since her dad’s basement days, I knew that I had to give this a try. I am so happy I did. I am the heaviest I have ever been, have been on a mental health journey, and have struggled with my wellness my whole adult life. I get overwhelmed knowing where to start and have started and quit so many times on my own journey to lose weight and most importantly, become the best version of myself. This podcast inspires me to keep trying, to find my own version of wellness and to not try to fit into a one size fits all mold. Mari is an excellent speaker and interviewer which makes this so easy to listen to. I love the variety of guests, perspectives and stories shared. Can’t wait for more!
2023-03-23

9. A must listen! - This show is a must listen. Mari’s honesty, hard work and kindness for her guests is so inspirational. Her ability to create a safe space for her guests, whether controversial or not, allows them to open up comfortably and honestly. We need more hosts like Mari to invite everyone to the table - diversity of thought is so powerful! She has truly hit the nail on the head with this podcast. Cannot wait for each new episode!

1. Love LOVE LOVE THIS PODCAST - So insightful for me! I’m studying to be a marriage and family counselor, listening to your show has helped me develop and personalize my own counseling style, as well as learning to incorporate my values but not bringing my faith into the professional setting. You are a PRO AT THAT!
2023-03-17

2. Love to watch! - As a nurse I love listening to this podcast and hearing the ways he talks to people while they are going through hard times. Sometimes words can be challenging to find after someone pours out their life problems to you and the time we have with patients is so short similar to the calls. People are struggling out there and I’m glad there is great resources like this out there!
2023-03-15

3. Greatest podcast to exist (say it enough and they’ll believe it haha) - I found this podcast when going through a very difficult time. It has been a wealth of knowledge in learning to communicate and have meaningful relationships. Also some of the stories definitively make me feel better about my own struggles haha. Keep it up Jon and crew!
2023-03-06

4. Good ideas but has some drawbacks. - John offers fine advise, but then dismisses his own opinion because of his gender and ethnicity. He also makes a lot of disparaging comments about men and boys being obnoxious, knuckleheads, etc. It’s hard to wade through the negatives to get to the insightful bits.
2023-03-03

5. This podcast has made me a better friend - Dr. John does such a great job of helping callers in a way that teaches all of us how to better understand ourselves, how we can heal and grow, and how to be there for others. I’ve learned how to be a better listener, how to grieve with people, how to support them through difficult times. This podcast has made me a better person and friend and I always look forward to hearing and learning from John’s compassionate advice.
2023-02-27

6. My entire mind has changed - My sister recommended me this podcast along with buying me “Redefining Anxiety” and lending me her signed copy of “Own Your Past Change Your Future”. Both are amazing reads. This podcast has naturally turned my mind into a more positive, self loving, mindful and intentional place. I notice that as Dr. John speaks with the callers he is very intentional and genuine about what he says. I will never stop listening!
2023-02-17

7. LOVE LOVE LOVE this podcast - I can’t say enough how much I love love love this podcast. dr. John is so funny and yet so insightful. so many times I’ve thought that he’s talking right to me or other times I thought I need to share this with one of my dear friends. I would highly recommend to start watching or listening to Dr. John Delony
2023-02-14

8. Amazing! This podcast has changed my life! - This is for the real the best marriage/mental health podcast ever! Dr. John is just the absolute best. He brings so much compassion, love, and honesty to all callers. He has changed my life in so many ways and I’m so grateful he joined the team. Also thank you for bringing light and levity with all the banter between John and Kelly! This show is such a gift!
2023-02-10

9. Thanks! - So I work in the medical field and two years ago I was in a severe depression with high anxiety. My Dr, told me I should check your pod cast out so I did. I could relate right away! I get something from every episode. You have been helping me now for about months. And I have recommended your pod cast to several friends family and patients that I feel would take the time. I continue to work toward a better me. And you are helping with that! Thank you!!

Comments

1. Lovingly yelling “Shut up Kara” - I found Kara on New Year’s Eve, and over the next weeks listen to every single one of her podcasts plus all the bonus material. The way Kara presents information makes it easy to comprehend without feeling like you’re being talked to like a child. Whenever some thing particularly hits right about some thing I’m in denial about or a behavior I recognize in myself, I lovingly shout shut up Kara and then I save the podcast and re-listen to it. I am about to start the pod cast over again because I feel like the first time smacked me in the face, and now I really want to listen again, and dive deep into the words and in the work. Thank you Kara, for putting this out there and being a friend of mine because after episode I know I can count you as one.
2023-03-23

2. Rejects science - She promotes Lindo Bacon’s ideas that weight and health have nothing to do with one another and that weight is primarily not something anyone has control over. These ideas are extremely toxic to promote as the US continues to face an obesity crisis. She rejects decades of medical science in favor of Bacon’s carefully selected “data” that fits a certain narrative.
2023-03-14

3. changes lives - This podcast changed my life because it changed the way I think. Kara is so smart and clear in her approach. She is the only person I’ve ever heard in this space who offers actionable advice about relatable problems. When work issues rise up, I no longer feel fear because I know I can manage my mind around whatever happens. I no longer feel so vulnerable because Kara has taught me how to manage my mind, and when you can do that, you can handle and do anything.
2023-03-01

4. Multiplicity of ways to manage your mind - I’ve been I’ve been listening to this podcast for several years. I decided it was time to leave a review because of the helpful approaches to evolve my own thoughts and interactions to make them more helpful and reciprocal. Sure, perhaps % isn’t necessarily for me, but % of Kara’s content helps keep me in a practice of interrogating my own thought patterns and perceptions. That alone is of value enough for content that is thoughtful and free! I find it amusing that some folks can’t get past certain speaking conventions in the podcast or her promotion of ways to engage with her work more deeply for a fee. It takes for more than minutes to produce content, let alone produce and record a (weekly!) podcast… How else does somebody receive compensation for the energy they invest and offer? And normalize women obtaining value for their (otherwise) free labor? At the core of Kara’s work is learning to reflect on your own patterns, and perceptions of what limitations we place on ourselves when we think in absolutes if we’re seeking different outcomes: if it resonates, dig in. If it doesn’t, ask yourself why. If you’re satisfied and don’t need it, let that go. Not everything is made for everyone, and I appreciate the opportunity to coach myself for free and prompts to break out of limiting thought patterns. I also love the inclusion of others coaches’ voices who help people in different areas so I can be more informed about the thought and self-belief challenges they help other women overcome so I can be more aware outside my own cultural and professional bubbles.

5. This podcast changed my life - I have been an avid listener for years now and can truly say this podcast has been a driving factor in changing my mindset and negative thoughts. I have been in therapy since I was a child and had always suffered from depression. Once I started listening, I realized I could change the way I feel regarding my negative thoughts about myself. I rarely even have them anymore! This has been a great supplement to therapy and medication and has helped me get off some antidepressants and lengthen the time between therapist appointments. I’m so grateful for Kara and the information she shares. She has truly changed my life!

6. A tonic for clearer thinking - I love this show and never miss an episode. It’s a tonic for clearer thinking and often helps me see well-worn issues in brand new ways. I also feel like I’ve learned a lot about how our brains work, but in an actionable, rather than acrdemic, way. I send many episodes to friends, and give it my highest recommendation!
2023-02-17

7. Life-changing if you do the work - This podcast and coaching resource (The Clutch) is one of the very few things I would say has “changed my life.” I cannot recommend it highly enough. I was working a - job, full of impostor syndrome and tons of insecurity, and now I own my own business, working / as much as I used to and making more than I used to (If the first thing you thought after reading that was, “I could never do that” - then you need this type of coaching, because that’s how I used to think too). I have better relationships with family and friends, and way less stress. Using Kara’s feminist mindset principles will change how you approach everything.
2023-02-16

8. Great ideas but listen critically - I used to really like this podcast. Some of the older episodes are really good and helpful. The episode about anxious attachment and perfectionist thinking really resonated with me. That being said, I’m pretty sure listening to the advice on this podcast played a role in me staying in a relationship way longer than I should have. I kept thinking I needed to “change my thoughts” and that it was me and my mindset for why I was so unhappy in that relationship, when in reality, he wasn’t right for me. I also think some of her ideas around diet and exercise are not the most helpful… like the most recent episode about why exercise isn’t always good… I did really love her for a while but lately I’m finding her kind of arrogant and annoying. But there are a few episodes that are worth listening to and saving for helpful advice. Just be critical of what you’re hearing and use your own judgement!
2023-01-13

9. Must she say the word “right” after every sentence? - This is nothing more than an obnoxious ad for other content she wants to sell. This woman says “right?” so much that it drives me up a wall. No idea how someone is a professional and speaks like that. Also the whole chicken thing is embarrassing and stupid. Not sure how anyone is fooled into thinking there is any substance here.

If you’re reading this, you’re probably looking at a phone or a computer screen. These days we spend most of our lives looking at screens – whether it’s for work, school, or fun – but how is it shaping us? On season six of Chasing Life, Dr. Sanjay Gupta takes us on his most personal journey yet, while he dives into the science behind how technology is impacting our brains. As a dad of three teenage girls, he explores how worried we should be about the effect screen time is having on ki...

1. Silence is golden - Thank you, Dr. Gupta, for having one of our Olympic Peninsula’s heroes on your show. Gordon Brown has not only opened our world to the true sounds of silence, but he has also made us aware of the importance of centering ourselves with what Mother Earth gives us… for free. It is truly amazing to visit the Hoh River area he first introduced us to, sit on a log or rock and just listen. I hope you visit our stunningly beautiful area and sit with Gordon in silence.
2022-10-18

2. Excellent podcast! - I loved the interview with Ed Wong on senses - what a marvelous way to open up a fuller appreciation of our world and all the creatures in it. I will walk my dog differently now! I’m appreciative of how Dr. Gupta let’s the guests talk about their area of expertise without interrupting.
2022-09-21

3. “Dr Gupta” - Dr Sanjay Gupta is such a tool and a complete embarrassment to the medical community. Typical MSM “reporter” spreading false information and making a ton of money from it. Seriously, only brain washed idiots listen to CNN and this clown. He’s a joke within the medical community.
2022-08-01

4. Learning to live after loss - I needed to hear this. I have yet to express the loss of my father because I don’t know how and when I do, some can’t relate. I lost my father to Covid last year after the holiday surge and moving forward has been a complete struggle. He loved life to fullest and fought a tough battle to remain with us. Losing him left me filled with sadness and angry because a lot of people don’t care about the pandemic or who it impacts. I have uninvited tears that come whenever they feel like it. I don’t have the same appetite I once had for life anymore and struggling to find my purpose because he had always been there. However, I get up every day and move forward because that’s what I’m suppose to do. Some days are good, some days are okay. I guess you can say I’m learning to embrace loss. But there are also days where I feel like what’s the point. I know what I’m battling with but I also know I’ll rise above it at some point. Your podcast has helped me understand what I’m experiencing and perhaps, pointed me in the direction to seek a grief doula. Didn’t know they existed nor did I know I needed one until now. Thank you for sharing others experiences and creating a space for grief. Mental health truly matters.
2022-07-27

5. SA - Thank you for talking about Social Anxiety. When I was first diagnosed I was and it was called Social Phobia. I’m now and still struggle with the symptoms. My sons have it to some extent also. I always thought as I got older it would get easier to deal with. Unfortunately, it’s not the case. Thanks again for shedding some light on SA.
2022-07-18

6. Absolutely the best Doctor! - Dr. Gupta is such a wonderful doctor. He has done so much for our world in medicine, as well as being a stellar human being! This show started out great and was extremely helpful during the Covid outbreak and they have evolved it through the past two years, to keep up with the current state of our world. Thank you for all you have done CNN and Dr. Gupta.

7. Burn Out - How does one deal with burn out from having adult children living at home many years after they have graduated college? They are working a managerial job, putting in hours, and too tired to really help out at home, putting an excessive load onto their senior aged ( & ) parents. They want to move out but cannot do so currently because of the Pandemic; borders of where they would like to move are closed.
2021-08-10

8. Chasing Life: Getting Grandma back into swimg of things - Dear Sanjay, thank you SO much for covering this subject. I am the sole caretaker for my year old vibrant Mother, who is also showing signs of dementia/cognitive challenges, memory loss etc. She has definately had a recent “escalation” in memory loss and anxiety, depression during past . years. Caring for her through Covid has been taxing and educational. I look forward to listening to your other episodes. Thank you.
2021-08-01

9. Thank you! - I really have enjoyed the topics covered on this show. I especially enjoyed the latest episode on IVF and couples deciding the have kids (or not). This is something my partner and I are currently going through post-pandemic. THANK YOU for the doing this episode and inspiring us to share our journey with others and not suffer in silence.

1. Needed this - Came across you on tic tok and I watched them for hours . They were so informative and caring and non judge mental. Also love your straight forward tactic and yet you seem to really care about humans . You speak my language all the way to the cussing and love your energy! A lot of them really hit my soul. So I started listening to the podcasts and now I have ordered the book. Ready to do the work- just didn’t know where to start and how. Hopeful the book helps me immensely! Jen

2. On Point - I have been struggling in my EMDR therapy to resolve the negative core belief that I’m not enough. I know I’m enough, I’m an awesome person. Something about that didn't seem to touch all the pain. After listening to Dec rd’s episode I had an eureka moment! It’s not that belief that’s is charged it’s the believe that I’m not wanted. This will change the course of my healing journey. I listen to everything you put out and your Live on Tik Tok. Thank you for all you do! Been flushing things out to try to heal. Keep up the work. You are helping me every day.
2022-12-05

3. Thank you for helping me!! - I bought your book, read it & did the journaling, listen to it again when I used my credit on Audible to download it. Watch your TikTok’s & now your podcast!!! I’ve made such great progress. It definitely makes me raw but I take a break & then keep going. Just wanted to say thank you!!!
2022-10-07

4. Up front and in your face - Only two episodes in and we’re already getting raw. As someone who works in the BH arena, Sven knows exactly how to artfully harvest the depths of someone’s story in a way that compels that person to get real with themselves. Only some of us know the kind of journey where you cultivate that kind of skill set. I very much so appreciate Sven launching his podcast. Lifelong subscriber here.

Comments

1. Episode Women in the Workplace - Today was the first day I found and started listening to this podcast and it resonated with me so much as I moved out of Atlanta from college to a predominantly white area for my work. This episode gave me some really good insight I feel early on in my career that I can use moving forward. Thank you Dr. Harden Bradford and Dr. Thomas!
2023-01-22

2. Love the show, not the episode descriptions - As much as I love the show, I wish the description of each episode was at the top of the text rather than after the description of the show. We know what the podcast is about, but telling us what each episode is about is more important. Too much text to read or scroll past makes me delete the episode. I listen to a lot of podcasts, this is the only one that does this.
2022-10-26

3. Therapy for Black Girls - Dr. Harden Bradford’s podcast is empowering! I’m continually enlightened and inspired by her expertise, topics and guests. Not only does Dr. Harden Bradford’s work help me personally, I share it with my year old daughter and others which exemplifies it’s community impact This gift and resource is invaluable!
2022-10-19

4. - This podcast is amazing and also the first one I’ve ever reviewed. I’ve learned many a lesson here that’s impacted my personal and professional life. I’m a budding therapist currently getting my masters in Marriage and Family Therapy and I use some of the techniques learned here to assist with helping others. Thank you.
2022-10-12

5. Excellent space to feel understood and comforted by other beautiful women - I’m new and I’m making my way through the podcasts of interest and even some I didn’t think I’d like but I find learning about different topics very valuable. I also have enjoyed the three for Thursday chats, the check ins, book club and the sex talk in September with Goddie (Goody). Definitely will stick with this beautiful community of women who aren’t afraid to say I need help and I don’t have it all together as society pegs us as the strong black woman… We have pain, tears, deep feelings, struggles, wins, love, accomplishments, blessings from God, everything a human being has. We aren’t super human and if we have a tough exterior it’s the way we’ve learned to cope and care for ourselves. Love this podcast and Dr Joy’s “Sister Circle” app. It’s well worth my time and energy to get and give support to fellow sisters of any color.
2022-10-12

6. Content needs refresh - Great podcast when I started listening a few years ago, but now the format is more interviews and sometimes gets a little self-promoty for the guests. But I get why bc BW experts and professionals have little spaces/platforms available to them so this show provides that. But perhaps a spin-off show would be better for that.
2022-10-10

7. This is a much needed resource - I’m a new listener and so far I love it. I have started listening at the beginning episodes and I find the encouragement and advice very helpful. I also like to read the reviews of podcasts that I am new to. I read a review where the listener said they felt the podcast was racist, and I simply don’t understand how they arrived there. So often as black women we are told we have to include everyone while simultaneously being excluded by everyone. There are plenty of podcasts that cater to other demographics but very few that address the issues, needs and concerns of black women. Please keep doing your podcast as is. As a black woman in my mid forties I’m just now learning how to advocate for myself and that includes finding spaces where I can be my full self and feel valued as a human. I’m only a few episodes in and this is one of those spaces. I appreciate you sharing your expertise with us. It’s very much needed.
2022-10-06

8. It’s okay - I really like this podcast and the messages it’s giving out but, I see it as racist .Black women aren’t the only females who struggle with things or need to be encouraged, their are many other women who need motivation and inspiration not just African American women. It’s really good just need to work on giving inspiration to other cultures.
2022-08-18

9. Favorite podcast - I recently started listening to this podcast for about a month or so but I can honestly say I absolutely love it, whenever I can manage to have a moment to myself this is my go-to. Dr.Joy is amazing and she is enlightening and well-informed on situations that matter to women of color.

Comments

1. Supports compassionate healing & growth - I stumbled across this podcast while searching for a self-forgiveness podcast and was immediately drawn in to Forest and Rick. Their approach is practical, down to earth, and with much compassion and empathy. It makes healing through some of these difficult topics very relatable. They are my go to when I know I am feeling vulnerable and tender, because I know I will always feel supported when I have finished. I love that Forest does a recap at the end of every episode as it helps to reinforce the key messages of the pod…I’ve recommended this to everyone who is looking for new content!
2023-03-20

2. Listen to the “Daddy Issues” episode asap! - I cringed when I first hit play, but happily couldn’t stop listening — this episode turned “daddy issues” on it’s head for me. I learned so much and really appreciate the way Forest and Rick approach topics, give insights and share great tools. Thank you both!
2023-03-07

3. Gratitude for Being Well - This is my absolute favorite podcast. I’ve been experiencing so much mental instability lately and Being Well has been such an important stabilizing force in my life. Forrest does an excellent job finding the balance between science and anecdote and really expertly navigates the nuance of the wildly complex world of mental health and psychology. I’m so grateful to you, Forrest, for creating such a beautiful platform for Rick and the other guests. Even outside of the really valuable content shared, your combination of high commitment and and high transparency and authenticity is such an inspiration to me. It feels almost too good to be true that we get to listen in on really beautiful moments with your father and generous moments of self disclosure. What a gift. Thank you!
2023-02-27

4. podcast - appreciate the part focused on women’s experience in being embodied and most of the time disembodied - please do more just on women’s work on being embodied especially around abortion and how some states are going to imprison women for their deciding to give birth or not . also women of color have different trauma experiences from generational medical acts and psychological trauma inflicted on them by white men - huge subjects worth talking g about- thanks for putting these issues out there more and more as women’s rights are more under threat than ever
2023-02-27

5. Bridget - Being Well is my Go To podcast. It’s the one I recommend to anyone who asks and sometimes when they don’t ask. Rich, nuanced content, well researched information, thought leaders who set their egos aside and simply attend to gentle and clear guidance on doing life. For all breathing humans, this is THE one!
2023-02-24

6. Healing, informative, kind - Wow, I’m so glad that the algorithm led me to this podcast! I’m still fairly new, but every episode I’ve heard so far has given me exactly what I needed in that moment. The discussions about self-worth, seeing the good in ourselves and others, forgiveness and change have all been incredibly eye-opening. I take notes as I listen because there are so many pearls of wisdom and so much great practical advice. Just answering some simple questions can be life-changing. But I love that none of it feels prescriptive in any way. There’s incredible kindness here. No one is telling you what you have to do if you want to have a better life, there’s not an ounce of condescension, no superior beings talking to the uninformed masses. It’s very gentle but powerful guidance. Thank you!
2023-02-08

7. This Podcast! - There is no shortage of excellent podcasts one can enjoy on the internet. Many I return to again and again, as their guests are often sharing information that is entertaining, informative and helpful. Like many of us, my interests are many and varied, but my struggle with Depression and anxiety led me to Dr. Rick Hanson’s work. I’m often amazed how often the conversations with Dr. Rick and his son Hanson, along with their brilliant guests on their Podcast resonates deeply hitting home again and again. The topics they discuss and the depth and breadth of information they share consistently, is as interesting, enlightening, informative as it is transformative. I can’t speak highly enough of their work, the content offered in their podcast offered freely, is worth its weight in gold and I am ever grateful for all they offer and do on behalf of the human spirit and their belief in our ability to continue to heal, grow and thrive no matter our past.
2023-02-01

8. Enjoy - I really enjoy your podcast and I like both you and your dad's voices. What I was disappointed in were your recent slams of political conservatives. Although I think your dad and guest tried to mask their dislike, it was pretty obvious based on the few comments that were said. There is so much political polarity in this world, please don't add to it. Thank you!
2023-01-03

9. Five stars - Hello I want to share with you both and with All the listeners of your wonderful podcast, without having come upon Dr Rick Hanson’s work online, I’m not sure how my life would have turned around as it did…. I was at the lowest point in my life I’d ever witnessed. I’d been diagnosed with a debilitating disease, I was working, raising my daughters on my own on our farm where everyone counted on me with many needs outside my own, I was overwhelmed. I felt at one point of giving up. Never had I felt so alone, at the bottom and couldn’t find that step up that was so needed. Long story short, I somehow came upon the website and listened to a few videos and applied for a scholarship for the year long foundation course. I received the scholarship!! It changed everything for me and as of today, it was the door that opened- that set me back on my path of living life as best as I could…. I deeply appreciate everything you both bring to the audience in All of its colors - tone, authenticity, vulnerability, and joy! I say, it’s like the one starfish at a time story, you threw me back into the ocean of hope! Thank you so much, Sandra

1. MY LIFE AT NOT - This is a podcast show that literally explains my life, my childhood to a T. I often cry a lot because it’s nice to know you are not crazy like you are deemed because of the hand you were dealt. I didn’t ask for this horrible first years of my life. But now I am understanding exactly why I do what I do without knowing but knowing if that makes sense. Every week for counseling this podcast is shared and she takes note. If this helps just one person know that they are not alone, this is not their fault and it’s ok to say NO and learn to love yourself. I have been up since am up with pain and hard time sleeping due to ailments etc. I cried most of it literally my life. So thank you your soft tone to your voice is so calm and inviting that it’s easy to just lay back close your eyes and acknowledge, understand and grow!!! So THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for this show!!! Sincerely, The year old healer. TTFN- I’m out to find that beautiful little blonde haired girl that got so lost along the way
2023-03-03

2. Podcast Routine - This podcast has become a part of my daily routine during my commute to and from work. I used to get really in my head, due to stress from work and life in general. It has helped pull me out of my head during those drives, giving me space to decompress, completely changing my mood and/or mindset for the day.
2023-02-15

3. I LOVE this podcast!!!! - I’m listening to this podcast nearly every night now. Really enjoying those relevant topics to my life in the s as a female and how the host dives deep into the topics as well as the gentle way the host speaks. I literally burst into tears after ur ex’s answer to ‘when did I stop loving you’ ...and couldn’t really continue to finish that episode that night
2023-02-01

4. I have a psych degree - As someone who graduates with a degree in psych in a few months and is also in their twenties, this podcast is awesome and so important! Love her and really appreciate someone wants to dive deep into such a rich and powerful decade in life! Love love love / would recommend to anyone!
2023-01-29

5. amazing podcast for any young adults!!!! - i listen to this podcast every morning when i wake up. it sets up my day and makes me feel at peace, and think about a lot of things. i’m currently in college, so not exactly fitting the description of the title of the podcast, but i have been going through a lot of crazy life changes lately and have been reflecting a lot more than usual. this podcast and it’s relatability but research that backs it up has opened my mind and made me feel included and not alone. jemma does an amazing job with this podcast and i will continue listening forever. every title she releases relates to me and i always want to click on it. i will continue to listen to and support this podcast. jemma, if you’re reading, i love you and your podcast. you’ve done a great job. keep going
2023-01-13

6. Right Show, Right Time… - First, confession time: I’m and male. That said, I recently stumbled across this show and have been really loving it. I recently finished hiking the Appalachian Trail, have gone through a major breakup, am living with my parents, am trying to move back to the city and trying to restart my career. Needless to say my emotions, feelings and thoughts have been all over the place and this show has been very grounding and edifying. It helps so much to know that I’m not alone in my struggles and that there is science and studies behind why I feel the way that I do. The most helpful thing I’ve heard recently that I’m really sticking to is reframing ‘anxiety’ as ‘excitement’. Both feelings use similar neural structures and pathways to communicate these sensations and so, with one’s wise mind, one can choose to interpret their life data in a more positive way. It’s the end of the year as I write this and so it’s a terrible time to try to get a job or move and that has caused a heaviness and sinking feeling for me to deal with; however, I have more power in how I perceive my situation and this show is a wonderful tool in my psychological quiver.
2022-12-24

7. Speechless - I’m a new listener and have only listened to a few episodes. With that being said the relief my spirit feels after tuning in leaves me speechless. There’s something about the transparency that makes everything I’m going through feel shared. I’ve come to realize everything is a shared experience. This podcast has brought me a great deal of comfort and I / would recommend.
2022-12-14

8. So helpful - Honestly I started listening to you about three days ago and I’ve already listened to about of your episodes. Listen to it in the car instead of music now and honestly has helped me this week so much! Many realizations and started to view things differently, it really helps hearing it come from someone else and out facts into it :) keep them coming haha
2022-12-09

9. I swear by it now!! - I can’t thank her enough on producing these podcast series. I enjoy it sooo much that I can’t even begin to explain it in words. My first day I listened hours straight without a break and I enjoyed and learned so much. And it makes so much sense on sooo many things that I am going through in my s rn that she explain with her thorough research. Please never stop posting ever.

Comments

1. Love The Insight! - This podcast is transformative in its ability to simplify the process of gaining control of mental health! Dr. Leaf has provided me with so much insight on how to improve mental health one step at a time, on a daily basis. I could not recommend the show enough as a tool to ditch the overwhelm of mental health!
2023-03-06

2. Her ads for her own products make this impossible - The constant bombardment of many ads in even the short episodes for her apps, pills, whatever etc make the useful knowledge pointless. It’s not just jarring, I’m forced to constantly be aware an ad is coming and skip skip skip ahead. Not worth it if you are in real need of help and support as her priority is getting you into a sales funnel or subscription. Find someone else.
2022-12-21

3. Thank you for episode !!! - This was an Amazingly helpful and interesting podcast. I am trying to taper off of Paxil and klonopin at yrs old. I have been on both for yrs and have been desperately searching for information on tapering. I have worked with psychiatrists and have a much clearer and detailed understanding than all the yrs of researching. I am so grateful to Dr Horowitz for sharing his personal experience with tapering off his medications and for sharing the information on how to taper. He’s amazing and I would love to work with him. Please bring him back again! I would like to know more about tapering medications at the same time. Thank you so very much!
2022-11-25

4. Revolutionary - Thank you Dr. Leaf for episode . I’m currently trying to wean from an SNRI for the rd time, and I too have experienced depersonalization, derealization, psycosis, headaches, night sweats, tremors, dysarthria and so on. Not very many people are talking about antidepressant withdrawal so thank you for being the peoples voice. Really crucial stuff here
2022-11-19

5. Great Topics - This podcast has so many interviews with different angles but all related to Dr Leaf’s findings from years in the profession and research. I found the episode on Highly Sensitive People life changing! It helped me understand a memory that was unlocked from doing the Neurocycle and so many other things in my life.
2022-11-13

6. Too Many Ads Make Dr Leaf Seem Insincere - I understand that few things are free, and I find the Patreon vs listen with ads model reasonable. But as a first time listener, I selected a minute episode about disappointment. It began with an ad for a podcasting platform. Then came an ad for mental health. Both seemed ok as they are in keeping with Dr Leaf’s wheelhouse. Then she was interrupted mid sentence for a highly scripted ad about zit cream. I was beginning to wonder if she will advertise literally anything. Then she was once again interrupted by something nutritional or diet-related and I just gave up. Such a shame, really. I subscribe to podcaster’s paid extensions and would have considered Dr Leaf, but after all that shilling, I wonder how hard up she is and what she really stands for.
2022-08-06

7. She’s becoming TOXIC - I’ve been listening to Dr. Leaf for a few years, and also bought her book. I’m completely done paying attention to her after episode . It’s such a disappointment to observe how far removed she is compared to who she was when I first started listening. People typically change and grow; unfortunately Caroline Leaf is going in the wrong direction. I’ve lost respect for her and highly recommend not listening to this podcast.
2022-06-30

8. Yikes - Dr. Leaf first caught my attention by using God’s Word in her approach to science. God created science We don’t need to run from it!! Science and Faith are complimentary, not contrary! I’ve loved her for this approach, but she abandoned her WORD :( in order to pander to the loudest voices of our society. The silent majority was with you, Caroline. Careful here. The group you are pandering to tends to eat it’s own. You are brilliant and I’m praying for a revelation in your spirit!

9. Episode w/ Josh Peck - I love everything I’ve learned from your podcasts and your book, “Cleaning Up Your Mental Mess”. Life changing! My favorite guest you’ve had on your podcast has to be Josh Peck. His story and your interaction with him revealed real life application of all the things I’ve been learning since discovering you and your work months ago. I look forward to each new episode.

The SELFHEALERS SOUNDBOARD is a global, community-based healing experience created by Dr. Nicole LePera and Jenna Weakland. Each week, we host raw, unscripted, open conversations about the things we are REALLY dealing with on the journey of facing our pasts and becoming our best Selves. Together, as community, we create resonance with “strangers” around the world as we collectively witness our own triggers, habits, traumas, and inherent wisdom. This is, and always will be, an ad free experie...

1. Thank you BOTH for this amazing podcast - I stumbled upon this podcast a few weeks ago and have been working my way through all your episodes and wow it’s changed my life. Hearing both your stories and insights has allowed me to reframe my own past traumas and to tune into my inner child more than I have ever been able to do. I find Jenna’s voice just as valuable as Dr. Nicole’s, as she exemplifies authenticity in an incredibly vulnerable space, so thank you Jenna for sharing stories that are close to your heart. Catching up on your episodes has become an important part of my morning routine and something I look forward to every day. Thank you Jenna and Nicole!!

2. Thank you all for everything you do - Thank you all! I’m so grateful to have found Dr.Nicole and her books. I was originally just a follower on Twitter. I purchased both books and the way they’ve opened my eyes has been incredible!! The podcast is chefs kiss amazing and beautiful. Listening to you all is helping me even more! I’m really beginning to see the ways in which Ive chosen the people and circumstances in this life based off my childhood traumas. I’m now empowered to heal these traumas, many of which I’ve thought would haunt me forever! Many many thanks and much love I offer you all!!! I love and thank you for everything you do!

3. interesting and helpful show - I learn a lot from this show and always feel better after listening. My only concern is I wish Dr. Nicole would talk more as she has the credentials to give professional advice. As much as I admire and appreciate Jenna’s vulnerability when sharing, it seems she analyzes Nicole alot and gives advice like a therapist and it is distracting for me.
2023-03-13

4. Confused - I wonder why Jenna does most of the talking when she’s not the licensed therapist. She talks way too much and has no real educational professional experience to back her. It always the same with her every time. Her past, her family, etc. It feels like we are listening to her therapy session with Nicole. I Would love to hear more professional input from Dr. Nicole. I’m beginning to question the doc’s Legitimacy. Putting low reviews that are new under older reviews shows you know you aren’t capable of making your podcast the best you can.
2023-03-06

5. A gem in the sea of podcasts - I absolutely love this podcast and the different experiences of Nicole and Jenna! Sometimes I feel like I resonate more with one than the other, but whether it is Nicole or Jenna changes depending on the subject! I love both of their points of views and ways of communicating and helping me through my personal self healing journey.
2023-01-19

6. Healing Journey - This podcast is phenomenal! It has touched so many issues that have come up for me on my healing journey, and they’ve been addressed with great detail. The insight is given in such a real way. I appreciate the honesty and devotion you all give. I highly recommend this podcast to anyone wishing to develop a deeper relationship with themselves and others. Thank you!
2022-11-22

7. This podcast is Life - Not only do Nicole and Jenna speak from personal experiences but from a place of authenticity. I can appreciate that there are different topics that I can listen to or go back to if I am struggling with one in particular. This show is encouraging as well as inspiring. I’ve read the book which I enjoyed immensely. I recommend it all of the time it has definitely helped me in my journey. Happy to say I brought it for my younger sister. Your value to the mental health field is one that is unparalleled. I look forward to what’s next. Thank you

8. Heartbreak episode .. - I enjoyed this so much. I also lost my brother to overdose.. listening to this really put me in myself to feel. I was crying so hard with so much joy.. I was able to feel it and not feel embarrassed to show emotions.. I’m also a psychic and a medium I still get to be with my brother but it’s just not the same I don’t get to hold him and laugh with him anymore.. but listening to the two of you has helped me more then you know. I truly appreciate and enjoy you guys.. THANK YOU
2022-11-08

9. Fluff, no actual advice - They talk around issues but don’t actually teach you how to heal. After listening to their fluffy episode on . Are you holding onto resentment? I’ve decided to cancel my membership in their program because it just highlighted the fact they don’t really ever show you how to heal. They just talk about buzzwords like trauma, healing, inner child, and they talk about why it’s important to heal but never talk about specific action steps to take to actually do the work to heal. No thanks.

1. Awesome Information - I’m so happy found this podcast! Dr Alison Cook is brilliant! Her podcasts are helping me understand myself and why I am the way I am. Dr. Cook explains the subject well and gives lots of helpful advice. I am on the road to making “the best of me” with her help. She is loving, kind, honest and incredibly smart. Dr. Cook has shown me how I can be a better person by helping me to erase my shame and learning how to love myself again. stars is not enough.
2023-02-03

2. The best of you! - I am experiencing more connection with myself and the ways and whys I’ve self abandoned. Dr. Cooks work regarding the complexity of who we are and how and why we show up in relationships with God, ourselves and others is immensely enlightening. I’m encouraged for change as i discover the best of me with Gods help.
2023-02-01

3. A balm to my soul! - Thank you, Dr. Alison, for the amazing content in each of these podcasts. Your gentleness and expertise come through and penetrate deeply to my heart and soul. I am in need of your words; they are a balm to my soul! I serve alongside my husband shepherding many in our local church. Whenever I discover a resource that is helpful I pass it on. I’ve lost count of all the texts with the link to your podcast I’ve sent out. . Thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing your gifts with us!
2022-11-22

4. Great content/ delivery so-so - This is such great content and the podcaster’s book is also wonderful. In fact, I recommend the latter with more gusto only because Dr. Alison’s delivery sets my teeth on edge. First, she talks so fast that I can hardly keep up and her tendency to over-emphasis words and speak with over-inflection is so distracting. I can only listen for short bursts because it just grates on my ears. A softer, more conversational approach would be so much more appreciated and effective. Otherwise, this is highly recommended.
2022-10-18

5. Deeply refreshing and practically helpful - Wish we could give stars - Dr. Alison approaches such important but sensitive topics with so much wisdom, tenderness, and humble guidance. I feel like by listening to each episode, I'm learning how to hold tensions of faith and psychology/inner work that often feel really hard to meld in today's polarized world. As a mother, wife, church leader, mid-'s woman trying to do my own healing work with Christ and a therapist, this podcast is SUCH a gift! Thank you Dr. Alison and That Sounds Fun team - keep up the good work! And listeners, be prepared to take notes and talk to your community about what you're learning because it's so practically helpful!

6. Essential tools for living! - Dr. Alison cook teaches women essential tools for living free, authentic, and joyful lives, marked by love and grace. I am so thrilled to have this new resource for myself and other women whom I mentor and disciple on life’s journey. She has a compassionate presence and a clear voice that brings us deep truths about who we are: wonderfully unique persons God created us to be!!
2022-08-06

7. Clear, Compassionate, Accessible - As someone who has worked in the field of mental health and in ministry, I love how Dr. Alison breaks down “psychology buzzwords” into clear, concise and compassionate terms that have practical implications for the listener and can be accessed by the average person. One of my pet peeves is the advent of “pop psychology” where I see many peers try to define and coach others on mental wellness and healing, leading to the overblown use of words like “narcissism” and “trauma” that dilute the real meaning and value of these terms as clinical tools. As an expert, Dr. Alison brings back clarity and breaks these terms down into their simple truths, making them useful for the person who is learning and truly seeking to understand themself and others.
2022-08-05

8. Life Changer! - This podcast is helping to change my life and heal the emotional childhood trauma I have been carrying around for many years. Dr. Alison speaks right to my hurting heart, and Holy Spirit comes right behind her and comforts the little girl inside of me. I am so thankful to Dr. Alison and her words of wisdom. Healing is happening and she is playing a role in that. Thank You, Jesus!
2022-07-07

9. Exactly what I needed! - These podcasts are the perfect snippets of truth, encouragement, and needed content. I listened to all of her first podcasts in one afternoon, and I have even gone back to some of them for reference. I’m so grateful for the biblical definitions and explanations of certain psychological terms in ways that make sense and are relatable. I had several aha, confirming, and curious moments. I look forward to each new podcast to come and the continued clarification and insightful education they bring.

So the parable goes, an elder speaking with his granddaughter says, "In life, there are two wolves inside of us that are always at battle. One is a good wolf, which represents things like kindness, bravery, and love. And the other is a bad wolf, which represents things like greed, hatred, and fear. " The granddaughter stops and thinks about it for a second. She looks up at her grandfather and says, "Well, which one wins?" And the grandfather says, "The one you feed." When host Eric Zimmer was 2...

1. Life changing - I discovered Eric’s podcast around . I have been so grateful to see if evolve over the years. I appreciate the variety and depth presented here, which in my mind separates it from the vast number of “behavior change” podcasts out there. And as a psychotherapist, Eric and his guests offer me new ways to relate to client challenges and those of the many parts of myself. Grateful.
2023-03-07

2. So much - This is one of, if not, my favorite podcast. Eric has an amazing voice. His questions are pertinent and to the point without ever being rude. The topics are interesting with a variety of guests. years ago my young son came home from school after getting in trouble …I asked him Why? He simply replied “Mom I have a red David on one shoulder and a white David on the other”. Feed the good one son.

3. Great podcast - I like to read. However I’m a mother with two kids and sometimes it’s easier to listen to a podcast than to read. I take my child on walks to nap and listen to this podcast. This podcast often re centers me after the normal chaos of life, work and kids. It is easy to follow and understand but is full of knowledge. feel good energy. This podcast should be bigger than it is and I imagine it will be soon or perhaps it is and I just didn’t realize. I fortunately stumbled on this podcast . I recommended it to my mother and she loves it too.

4. Grateful for this content - Long time listener to this fantastic podcast. I have learned so much and am grateful for the quality content on so many topics. I’m super happy for the creator that he is able to be compensated by having ads - he deserves it!!! I can only imagine the amount of work he has put in over the years! I hope he makes bank!! Thank you to the creator and team for this gift of a podcast. All the best fellow humans. Today I feed the good wolf.

5. Great show, horrible marketing - I’d listened to your show with James Nestor. Very informative and an excellent podcast! The interviewer was well spoken and directed the conversation flow wonderfully. I was, however, EXTREMELY unimpressed by the three McDonalds commercials which were placed randomly throughout that particular show; what a terrible turn off. Please have your marketing department reconsider their target audience. Personally I do my best to shop organically and locally; we vote with our dollars and I’d love to see you include more consideration for your listeners by choosing your sponsors more carefully. Thanks for your excellent interviews! Get your advertising under control you’ve got a completely successful show ( from an audience’s perspective).

6. Episode Assignment - WHAT: I am an educator and what I got from this episode were some new strategies (and a book I need to read) that may help me at my own classroom level, but also at a team and school level to bring some awareness to the experiences some of our more challenging students may be having from their perspective. SO WHAT: So now, in addition to wanting to read Sarah’s book, I can imagine taking time to create spaces within the day to be sure students feel seen and heard and represented through art displays, structured sharing time, and/or student selected activities that can be shared within the classroom/team. NOW WHAT: I would love to take the information I will learn in Sarah’s book and present some ideas to my administrators and team mates to try as we embark on a new school year starting in July!

7. Take a breath! - It’s ironic Cory Allen is promoting meditation and he doesn’t come up for air the whole interview? He made me super anxious and confused—talking too fast and not getting his point across. I do love your podcast but coach the guests a bit. To help people it’s good to slow down and pay attention?
2022-06-10

8. Promotes positive thinking; not a fan of the opening song - Lately I’ve been skipping these episodes as soon as they start on auto play. I enjoy the content, but as soon as I start hearing that intro music I think, “I can’t listen to this right now.” I’m a HSP with ADHD, and I took the time to continue listening and ask myself “why do I keep skipping this?” I realized it’s the song. It’s terrible in a way I can’t explain. Maybe it’s the song itself, maybe it’s the length, maybe it’s the overlapping with the intro speech, maybe it’s all three? Anyway, I know this is a highly personal gripe so I’m not taking away any stars for it. stars because it’s good, but not great. Definitely enjoy episodes with some levity more than the super serious ones. The host has a nice, steady, clear way of speaking. Sometimes his response feels detached from the interviewee’s comments, as if he’s reading from a script or list of questions and doesn’t have the ability to improvise if their response is too far off from what he expects.
2022-03-09

9. The one you feed - This podcast has been a top show for me for years now. I so enjoy the topic but also the tone and thoughtful approach. When I started listening I didn’t even understand the parable, and now it is part of my daily thoughts. I imagine it has helped thousands of others deal with the struggles of our minds as it has with me. Thank you!

1. Simple, profound and necessary! - This podcast has Ice delivering sage wisdom that is profound, relatable and useful. I always liked him and thought he was smart but dude is a serious philosopher. He’s great at pointing out facts that are right in front of you but you didn’t realize. A lot of practical advice and a great way to start your day.

1. It’s ok - Josh rambles on and on, citing his articles and book over and over, and each episode is more of the same. Loved their documentary, started to love their podcast, and then I realized it’s basically the same thing over and over. Update: I came back to the podcast after taking a two year hiatus. The above review remains. Ryan and TK have interesting counterpoints to make that Josh simply won’t hear them. He talks over them show after show. He will say they are out of time, Ryan or TK will wrap it up, then Josh drones on and on attempting to convert us to his ideologies. I’m not the only one commenting on this. I’d love for Ryan and TK to have their own show. They are far more relatable than the pompous, arrogant, self righteous, “it’s my way or the highway” Josh. The Patreon episodes are about % of Josh.

2. First Available Episode Lost Me - I came seeking minimalism, but instead found an overly bloated, complicated “scheme”. Sorry, you lost me. I guess I was hoping to find a simple, calm, positive discussion among () co-hosts. This was the expectation when, after viewing a TED Talk, I sought out the podcast. An alternate, subscriber-only podcast? But I’m in subscription-ditching mode… Maybe I’ll catch you around someday, serendipitously. I’m minimizing.
2023-03-13

3. Think differently - The minimalist help me to look at my own live in different perspectives. Thanks to them I’ve learned minimalism is not only cleaning out physical clutter but clutter in many aspects of life. I encourage sharing their podcast with anyone who lives in this big crazy world as we know it.
2023-02-20

4. Good info, needs better delivery - I really appreciate what the minimalists have done. I started following their blog when they were new to the scene many years ago, after the original group including Joshua, Courtney and Colin. However, I don’t listen to their podcasts much because I honestly can’t stand the performative preachy way that Joshua goes on at length about nearly everything. I find myself wanting to hear from Ryan and their guests a lot more.
2023-01-27

5. Too deep for me - This podcast has gotten too crazy for me.. I keep trying to like it because these guys are highly regarded in the minimalism community.. but their episodes have gotten so depressing for me. You can no longer have passions or hobbies without becoming too ‘attached’ according to these guys and their experts.. And we have all been brainwashed and blah blah blah… so depressing .. exactly for whom is this kind of philosophy helpful??? I think they’ve lost their purpose.
2023-01-07

6. Good core message, but junk science - I appreciate their core message and I really like this podcast, but it’s not without issue. I recommend listening to the first - episodes which are less polished but give you the content they are known for. The podcast gets more polished as it goes, but also much more long-winded (until they FINALLY get a buzzer for Josh). I like these guys, but they buy into a lot of crackpot theories. The sleep episode has some guy selling snake oil to keep away the bad mojo from your cell phone. As though imbibing a small amount of oil would affect this, if it’s even a real problem, which they provide no evidence for. They moved to California and the woo-woo dial really cranked up.

7. Best Podcast! - I have been listening to The Minimalists for years. I even became a Patreon supporter! I can honestly say these guys have changed my life and my mindset. With their help, I have minimized possessions, relationships, bad habits, and everything in between. I have maximized the intentionality in which I live my life daily. These guys helped me to clear the fog in my brain and realize what I truly need. Life isn’t about possessions, it’s about people.

8. Letter From a Serial Consumer - To everyone involved in the production of the Minimalist Podcast: You keep me on track. Perspective is so easy to lose! Your podcast is like the accountability partner I never had. As a young woman, I tend to get swept up into the world of fashion trends and struggle with relating my self worth to my physical possessions; but, since I’ve started listening to your podcast, those feelings of stuff-related inadequacy have dimmed. It’s as if my priorities and understanding of what TRULY matters are shifting: I’m realizing how little I value THINGS. It turns out, what I really value is acceptance and that things were just a perceived means of gaining that. I’m not sure if I ever would’ve come to this understanding without the Minimalist podcast! Now, my purchases are made with much more intention, and my focus is on experience rather than accumulating physical items. Thank you for what you’re doing, An avid listener of the Minimalist Podcast To the One Pondering Whether to Give The Minimalist Podcast a Listen, If you start listening to this podcast, you’ll come to realize that minimalism is not about detaching meaning from items; rather, it is about coming to deeper understanding about what truly has value. The Minimalist Podcast makes simplicity attractive, and keeping up with the Jones’ sound like a rat race wherein nobody wins! The misnomer in our society is that MORE BETTER. But, you’ll learn all about how “more” really only dilutes meaning… This podcast is informative, warm, and genuine. These guys are not out to sell you some ridiculous promise of “happily ever after”: they’re here to bring awareness, intentionality, and guidance- not the kind that asserts their own values, but the kind that beckons you to reevaluate yours! Thank You @TheMinimalists

9. Great podcast. - At times a guest or content will be somewhat inappropriate. It may have to do with pushing sexual boundaries on a girl friend. Making the partner want a sexual experience they said they weren’t comfortable with. I dropped my jaw! When I left a constructive comment on their Instagram post with my complaint, it was removed. It’s important The Minimalists take constructive criticism, know their audience, and their purpose! The guest hosts should be more carefully selected. The content should be family friendly because ultimately the minimalist principals are being applied in family settings.
