1. Why does Podcasts allow ignorant trolls? - Dear Michele, your new podcast, as ALL your contributions to a better America, should not be allowed to be tarnished by racist, ignorant, hillbilly-comment trolls. Which is not to say there is not room for intelligent, thoughtful critical commentary. BUT then, calling out the (severely) less thoughtful-as of Marchth: T_Owens ( IQ); woodchuck (rodent moniker appropriate)); Elbob; (another IQ tell)l coopersweets (truly ignorant); Ashly (please do take up those kid scissors); Isaac.aka Fatdog (you do Tampa proud);Brovolde (that steak knife to the skull you suggest for yourself might indeed improve your cognitive skills); swapnuts (nothing more need be said ). Michele, you and we will always go high even when the Deplorables are looking up the bottom of their cesspools. Moderators, please make these and their worthless first cousins go away.

2. Respect - I haven’t even listened to the entire podcast yet, but some of the inane remarks clearly illustrate that there are so many closed minded, mean spirited, and ignorant people out there. If your not a fan, why tune in? No one cares how you feel about this incredible women, wife, mom and First Lady. Way to go Michelle Obama

3. Powerful Woman-My ONLY First Lady - So many people hate her for no reason she is the most loving person that you would ever know. She stood with integrity next to her husband all the years that he was an office. Her children were wonderful never in the headlines. So many people are hating and writing mean things already, but that just lets you know that you have a light that is so bright no one can dim. God has blessed you and has touched your family. With that no one else can touch you no matter what let them hate. Haters, keep hating, she’s gonna keep on smiling and keep on winning. She will ALWAYS be my ONLY and forever first lady.

4. Viewing or listening - Can you afford to come on a free podcast for us who cannot pay a podcast fee. I am years old and I love you and your family. Don’t let this world divide you family. I am sorry but your family is mentoring many young and younger children. Tell your daughters THANKS also!!! Pastor Carolyn White Thanks To You And The President

5. Inspiring and Uplifting - Both episodes I’ve listened to were incredibly heartwarming. Michelle has so much class and grace in spite of all the vile hatred thrown at her for no reason. She inspires me to want to rise above. It’s very hard not to want to attack each and every hateful person in this review section with the same vitriol they project onto her. But that does nothing but double the amount of negativity there already is in the world. I can’t wait to read The Light We Carry. I appreciate you, Michelle, for being so candid and vulnerable with us. It helps to know that even someone who has achieved as much as you have is still human and understands the difficulty of just being a human in this world. You inspire me to be better. Thank you for everything you’ve done and continue to do.

6. Forever Flotus - Strongly admire this lady. She speaks volumes eloquently! Such wisdom, integrity, morals so lacking in the division we find ourselves in! Allowing false narratives without speaking out allows them to grow and fester in our society. Why be complicit? Faux News lied to so many that half of America missed out on the truth! Bless her footsteps always! She envelopes a rich soul that I love. God bless the Obamas for all their steadfastness to honest decency!

7. Thank you for being the light in the darkness! - Thank you for being the light in the darkness! This is such a beautiful and inspiring podcast. As a True Crime Podcast Host, I need to listen to other podcasts that are full of light and HOPE when I’m not in production. This podcast is produced so beautifully, and Mrs. Obama shines as the Host!
2023-03-11

8. The Light - Just what I needed!!! I am the eldest of children who has always struggled with being a ’first’- no room for error because I was ‘setting the example’ for the others. Your words are so helpful; patience, respect, take the position seriously- you are right; it’s hard! Thank you for your excellence; we need to hear your light! I feel better because of what you shared today. I was feeling blue about my life choices and the fact that my sisters are not close with me. . . You put it into perspective by saying that it’s ok to follow a different path. Am sharing you with everyone! Can’t wait for the next episode- we NEED to hear voices we can trust and respect!

I’m Glennon Doyle, author of Untamed, the book that was released at the very start of the pandemic and became a lifeline for millions. I watched in awe from my home while this simple phrase from Untamed – WE CAN DO HARD THINGS – the mantra that saved my life twenty years ago, became a worldwide rally cry. Life is freaking hard. We are all doing hard things every day – we love and lose; we forge and end friendships; battle addiction, illness, and loneliness; care for children and parents;...

1. Awesome support for life - I’ve had tough years and while I’m doing a bunch of things to help myself, this podcast has been an amazing source of back up, camaraderie, new ideas, valid old ideas, reminding, reinforcing, and forgiving, all with a carpe diem vibe. Such a welcome addition to my life. I do have to take it in small doses though because despite the smart and funny discussions, the topics are profound. I need to let them sink in slowly. Fun fact: I hum the closing song to myself all the time.
2023-03-24

2. This podcast always makes me smile and feel less alone - Whether you guys are talking about hard things or easy things, this podcast makes me smile and feel less alone in a time when we are all still so uncomfortably isolated. I look forward to my “me” time (whenever I can squeeze it in as a mom of two young kids) even if it means it takes me hours to finish a minute episode. Sometimes, I feel like a rd sibling, separated at birth from Glennon and sister — I find myself saying “yes! Exactly!” out loud as I listen along. I, too, am unable to be “light” and breezy. I don’t know how to have fun. My wife is the opposite, and she reminds me of Abby sometimes. The three of you provide a wonderful balance and it’s a privilege to be invited into your conversations. You guys get it. And it makes all the difference. Thank you for doing this. We need it. I need it.
2023-03-23

3. I love it!! - I just recently discovered this podcast and I cannot stop listening! It is like a balm to my soul. Support, love, and kindness radiate each episode and I find so much soooo relatable. I often get goosebumps and tears in my eyes while listening. And everyone on here is so authentic and inspires that in their guests. Thank you for putting this wonderful podcast out into the world. We really need it. I truly cherish it.
2023-03-23

4. The BEST podcast for real talk and ways to improve yourself - I am OBSESSED with anything Glennon. I feel we are the same person in some ways. It’s comforting to listen and I notice I’m saying ‘yup, yup, and yup to that. And oh yeah! Me too!’ Abby and Sister are amazing and their internal insight is something I strive for on the daily. Love y’all!
2023-03-23

5. Life Changing - This podcast is my go to for all life things. Work, relationship, culture. All three of these women bring such wonderful perspectives and thoughtful analysis of our current state of being. I listen every week and am so intellectually stimulated and motivated to make changes. If I could rate “We Ca Do Hard Things” a million stars I would.
2023-03-23

6. An open invitation to be better humans one podcast at a time - This podcast is so important to the world and the individual. It can raise the vibration of the human state if we take the opportunity. Selfishly, I learn so much - parenting, privilege, respect, kindness - and the many faces it takes. As a yr old white mom I’m probably the strike zone demographic but seriously- the topics are all so helpful and things I am so curious about but could not curate a space to explore on my own. I want this kind of righteous curiosity for everyone. Love this pod!
2023-03-23

7. So grateful - Since words won’t adequatley express how much I love this podcast, my actions will show you how much I do. There are a few episodes I have listened to more times than I can count (the episode with Dr Becky and the episode featuring Abby where she talks about ending her unrequited love). I’ve sent several episodes to my therapist and several to my friends…and my friends send them to me too! Some of these discussions have led to crucial “aha” moments for me. I am very grateful for this podcast. Thank you. Keep doing the good work!
2023-03-23

8. All of it - Wisdom, laughing, tears, tips, fears, wins and losses- Glennon, Abby, and Amanda take you through it all and each episode is a gift. The guests they bring on are all basically icons, and teach me something every time. I have laughed out loud in my car (the embarrassing stories episodes- are you kidding) on my way home from hard days working as a nurse, cried picking up my house listening to stories about strength and resilience, and caught myself opening my notes app in a fury to jot down quotes by them in stories that felt relatable to my own experiences that I needed to hear. Very grateful and an absolute worthwhile listen.
2023-03-23

9. Amazing! - I listened to the Untamed audiobook and realized I needed more Glennon!! Then once I found this podcast I was so excited! These three ladies have so much wisdom and are so real. I love listening before work it always gets me so excited to work on myself and be a better me. Thank you all for making this podcast a thing. I love listening!
2023-03-23

10. A perfect mix of Beautiful and Vulnerable - This podcast always leaves me feeling at least a little bit better about the world knowing that there are people like Glennon, Abby, and Amanda in it. Doing hard work; sharing their stories and those of others with vulnerability and beauty; even episodes on the toughest topics leave me with a smile on my face and comfort in my heart.
2023-03-23

11. An island of sanity in an otherwise insane world - I LOVE this podcast. It’s an island of sanity in an otherwise insane world. I love that it’s hosted by these three fabulous women. I love that it focuses on compassion, but also calls us to continue fighting in small, everyday ways, for equality and social justice. I love the guests. (Particularly the episodes with Jane Fonda, Liz Gilbert and Gloria Steinem.) Last but not least, I love the theme song by Glennon’s daughter, Tish.
2023-03-22

12. Listen, Laugh, Learn…..and sometimes cry ugly - I started listening a couple of months ago and love the energy and perspective from all of you. I have to say, Episodes , , , and unleashed something in me…..some deep, hidden pain that I knew was there, suppressed it but didn’t fully understand it. Abby’s story of realizing that she IS lovable…..I ugly cried. Thank you for your willingness to be vulnerable and share your story. The gift your children gave you at Christmas was the big red bow!
2023-03-22

13. Beyond Informative!!! - Where was this podcast years ago??? As a woman, a psychotherapist, and someone that has been on all sides of therapy, I cannot be more grateful for this podcast. I recommend We Can Do Hard Things to clients, friends, family, and knowing me strangers on a plane. I listen to it and gain HUGE insights personally and professionally. Although the topics can be heavy, there is levity, as well a normalizing at the same time. Thank you Brene Brown on (two things can be true at the same time!) I never dread listening to an episode worrying it may be too much. If that enters my mind, I will listen to some of the episodes such as the astrology episode, or the enneagram episode. Please all human beings listen to this podcast for so much learning, inspiration, healing, and good stuff! Thank you Glennon, Abby and Amanda!! Tricia Burke, LCSW, LCSW-C
2023-03-22

14. Great topics! - I appreciate the thoughtful discourse the three of you bring to the table. You are modeling healthy communication and exploration of ideas in a way that is vital in today’s toxic social media environment. Your willingness to look inward and to show up in your vulnerability is a gift to those of us who tune in each week. Thank you!
2023-03-22

15. Becoming a Better Person - During the pandemic my best friend, whom I met in first grade (almost years ago!), urged me to listen to this podcast. I wasn’t into the podcast scene at all and didn’t want another thing distracting me in my life. But she kept gently asking me to listen. I’m so glad she did! I have laughed, cried, raged and learned so much about how to know and love myself better and how to be a better human to other humans. I can’t thank Abby, Amanda, and Glennon enough for their hard work and public vulnerability. I’m so grateful for their content and have a deep appreciation for their work. Please keep doing what you were doing. It is the highlight of my week to listen to your podcast!
2023-03-22

16. Gotta listen. - This is my favorite podcast. Feels weird to say that I love how uncomfortable the conversations make me feel. Glennon is always % herself. I love that the podcast doesn’t hide from the real way we are feeling. Glennon and Abby make me feel HEARD! I leave every episode with so much to think about in my life and the world around me. Thank you!!!

1. I just love her! - I loved her show on TV and now I love this podcast. She is funny, deep and you can feel all the love just listening to her with others. She is so special to me and my own healing. Edit- I do think thought that her advertisements need to be more monitored. She is all about self healing and growth , so to hear all the sudden an ad for gambling on the computer really threw me off and really not good for her target audience. Something to be mindful of. Otherwise I just love her and her podcast!!!
2023-03-23

2. Love the R Spot - Hi Iyanla!!! I really do love listening to your podcast! It has helped me throughout my life and I also enjoyed watching your show fix my life! The R Spot podcast came for me right on time! I wanted to be done with life again, but I came across this podcast and was soooo very excited! I hope to call in one day and hopefully you'll be able to guide me on certain things. I enjoy hearing the other women and men stories. It lets me know I'm not the only one going through certain situations. I do thank you for coming back to help us with our struggles. Love you Iyanla and I can't wait to call in and speak to you one day on the phone!
2023-02-28

3. My spiritual Mom, sister/Auntie - Wow! There is so much I can say. It was a honor to really be on our podcast & get advice. I definitely will never forget it. I’ve been follow you for over years now. You have helped me in so many ways. I thank God for you. I’m going to do finish the book you told me to get. Love you
2023-02-25

4. On a journey - I just started this channel today at work. I struggle getting up to come here everyday without having a miserable day. Recently, I decided to make the choice to work on myself in many aspect and one is my mood/energy. I’m looking forward to listening to old and new episodes and choosing to work on my joy (while at work)!
2023-02-07

5. Accountability at its finest - I truly love this podcast!!! I love that Ms. Iyanla hold everyone accountable and brings out things in people and not always focusing on the situation. I’m learning that a lot of things in life revolve and evolve around self and we never hold ourselves accountable but Ms. Iyanla will. She make me think about myself often and what am I doing or not doing and alot of times it’s ME!
2023-01-17

6. First time I saw your face - I first met Ms. Vanzant many year ago I mean decades at the African American on Tour. I purchased her original book - Acts of Faith and she signed it - A delay is not a denial - I’ve carried this throughout my life. She is brilliant and the salt of the earth. I pray she starts doing more public speaking and women's conferences. I love you to the moon and back. Queen
2023-01-12

7. Just love the R-Spot! - While none of the issues are mine, per se, I can totally relate to each and every one. Ms. Iyanla’ s loving yet firm advice makes us all look within to search ourselves towards growth and healing. She prods us all to do the work! Just love this show. Looking forward to the next session!
2022-11-14

8. What a treat! - I came upon this podcast when I searched for something new this morning. Imagine my surprise! First, I was so excited to see that it’s a Shondaland production! Everything Shonda Rhimes does is excellent. But then I saw Iyanla’s name and I was over the moon. I’ve loved Iyanla for many many years. This podcast did not disappoint. It’s exactly what I both needed and wanted. I encourage everyone to give it a try. Thank you for the blessing
2022-08-10

9. Miss her! - I miss her form TV. Since then, couldn’t find a regular weekly routine to give me that boost of spiritual inspiration and support needed to navigate the week. Her messages coupled with God’s word, partnered with Eckhart and a few others was my daily/weekly package. So thank you for this podcast! Your service is still needed…in an amplified and magnified way!
2022-08-08

10. What the game has been missing!!! - I’m gonna be honest, I couldn’t wait to hear her speak again!!!! During the show and ever since the show ended I’ve been using the tools she has taught her guest / taught me, because let’s face it, everyone has an episode/s that felt like she was speaking directly to you. But now that she’s back, I get to learn and grow some more with this new podcast. I’m so excited and I look forward to using her teachings in my everyday life!!!!

Love her or hate her, but you can’t ignore the sassy, quick-witted Stassi Schroeder Clark. On her weekly podcast, Stassi examines the highs and lows of life, through the unique lens of a strong-minded woman who has grown up (and fallen down) in front of the world on reality tv. Putting her token honest and relatable twist on every topic, Stassi has mastered how to embrace being 100% yourself. Her show invites listeners in on real conversations between real friends about real topics. Stassi is ...

1. THIS is The Podcast You're Looking For - ...when you think "I wish I could just hear real people chatting about their real (and therefore relatable) lives". Is it perfect? No. Is it the podcast I keep coming back to every time I just want to "hear my friends talk" - Yep. I wrote that^ review years ago, and I’m adding this now because I just now realized both •that the podcast is back, and •just how much I’d missed it. Listening to Stassi and Jackie on that first episode back is everything and I’m just so thrilled to have this one back!
2023-03-20

2. Get rid of the sidekick - I tuned in to get Stassi’s take on the VPR mess. I LOVE Stassi and her delivery. My ears are bleeding from the other girl’s voice. I suffered through the entire podcast because I’m so interested to get everyone’s take on the scandal, but I will not be listening to any further podcasts unless the sidekick isn’t there. HOLY COW she’s so overpowering, and loud, and annoying, and trying way too hard to be relevant! Stassi your voice is so soothing & calm, perfect for podcasting. This Taylor girl is the absolute opposite. I believe I heard her say “ years in radio”, how??? Please consider doing the podcast solo…or with Beau, that would be fine too
2023-03-16

3. “SAME!” - LOVE the podcast. I find myself constantly saying “SAME” on so many topics out loud, it’s like Stassi is in my head taking the words right from me. I’ve also been known to play the podcast while putting my baby down for her morning nap and I can’t keep it a secret; it soothes her to sleep and I find that hilarious.
2023-03-16

4. love this - I really like how this is organized by different types of podcasts. The pop culture and pour it out are my favorite. I also really love your friendship with Taylor! You both have great insight and discussions. It makes me feel like I want to jump into the conversation too. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experiences! I always look forward to it!
2023-03-15

5. Just started following - I really enjoyed your show the past few weeks but your episode talking about a diabetes drug that diabetic patients are having trouble getting because people want to lose weight, absolutely ridiculous! And I will let everybody know that that is in a ridiculous stance that it’s the same as being gay!
2023-03-15

6. Thank you for talking infidelity - Thank you so much for this last VPR deep dive into the TOMRachelGATE situation. I find it healing as a fellow survivor of infidelity of the worst kind where the affair partner is someone you knew and trusted…someone who knew my children and was in our lives first hand for years. This pain was deep and scarring and thank you putting a voice to the gravity of the situation. Society often alienates the betrayed as the crazy guilty party carrying the blame for not doing enough to keep their partner happy. The cheating man is usually just doing what men do and the other woman is just an innocent bystander who didn’t know any better. I’m so tired of that story and tired of people not calling this what it truly is: Pure Evil. The other woman still has yet to apologize to me and it’s been long painful years. My husband told her not to say anything - which was never his right to block my path to healing or forgiveness or just basic acknowledgment of my pain. Agree this is Ariana’s first days of what can ONLY be a better life and future. Not so sure that I agree Tom will suffer too much however. The misogyny is all too still alive and too real in this country. The only thing I do know is that Raquel will take more of the brunt than Tom here…and I still can’t decide whether that is ok or not. She clearly has serious issues but when is society going to realize that men are just as equally culpable here? LOVED this conversation and again thank you for putting a LOUD voice to a so so real and deep pain that needs healing.
2023-03-10

7. teamariana ? - The whole pop culture segment was filled of stassi saying she didn’t feel right about talking VPR and how much she didn’t use any of the drama for click bait and that she supported Ariana. . . Then announced her podcast tour in the midst of the Scandoval. There’s a price for anything I guess.
2023-03-09

8. Scandoval: Something to consider - While I agree Raquel’s behavior is horrific and unforgivable, I hoped you would have discussed the reality that raging narcissists like Sandoval use behavior like love bombing to manipulate women in relationships with them. As the man who is in a year relationship, it was his responsibility to be loyal- I think it’s very likely he fed Raquel ‘woe-is-me my relationship is over’ and ‘I promise I’ll leave her when the time is right’ narratives. After being in an abusive relationship with JK, i can see how influential it could be to get attention, admiration, love, and matching necklaces from a man who is willling to say whatever serves him. I can’t say this means she deserves much sympathy, but add to this the allegation that she was recorded by Tom without her consent-Tom deserves the lion’s share of the public bullying.
2023-03-09

9. Loving the podcast but not Taylor - I’ve never listened to her old podcast and started this one a few months ago and I’m hooked. Stassi has great energy and is a fun host but her co-host Taylor… I dont know how to describe other than her voice is the most annoying thing and should not be in radio. PLEASE REPLACE TAYLOR! She doesn’t bring much and constantly interrupts Stassi so she needs to go.
2023-03-08

10. Love Stassi; Taylor S ruined the episode - This is my first time listening & I was very interested in hearing Stassi’s take on the latest VPR news but I couldn’t finish the episode bc of Taylor Strecker… I’m not sure why she’s yelling everything & making it about herself… I don’t know even know if she had anything good to contribute because her delivery is so grating… what I did hear from Stassi was great so I’ll listen to the episodes w/o TS
2023-03-08

11. Welcome back Stassi !!! - Thank you Stassi for speaking up about the Scandoval of it all !!! Team Ariana !!!! We love her and our Queen Katie!! Love you Stassi !! Thank you for coming back to us !!! I’m so happy to welcome you back ! Like a phoenix rising from the ashes!!! You sound amazing!! Can’t wait to hear all your new adventures. Please have some of your cast members from vanderpump rules on the pod ! Would love that.
2023-03-08

12. Used to love it - Used to love this show. Just wish Stassi had some substance to herself and talked about things that are relevant to all of us. Pretty egocentric with zero intention of helping/informing others, but you’ll have that with someone who got famous for being horrible on Bravo. I wouldn’t bother with it since it got rebooted, too bad because it’s a missed opportunity.

1. Love listening to your podcast - Absolutely LOVE listening to your podcast I am going to thru a divorce I’ve been married for years and have two kids. I’ve been having a difficult time trying to actually feeling like myself before I was married. Trying to move on at the same time juggling with divorce it’s not finalized yet but listening to your pod cast while cleaning cooking you know being a mom it helps me think more positive and taking your advice on taking care of myself too. Thank you and I can’t wait to hear the next episode
2023-03-22

2. Such a soothing listen - I just discovered this podcast and have started from the beginning. I truly love her voice and just feel like a friend is talking to me. She does a great job letting you know everything is from her perspective and not to take life so seriously. Love listening to this and has helped me really let go and focus on myself.
2023-03-06

3. Very helpful - I’m currently dealing with a broken heart from a break up. I don’t have a podcast that I regularly listened to, but my friends recommended me to listen to podcast. I came across to this podcast and it has been very helpful. It’s so relatable and eye opening with I went through in the relationship and what I’m going through.
2023-03-03

4. Game changer - Love love love this podcast. I have gone through several heartbreaks over the years and am more recently processing my emotions after ending a relationship with other someone I’ve been dating for only a couple months. The content on this podcast is so relatable it feels like she’s talking directly to me. If I’m having a low day I jump on and listen to one of the episodes (whichever seems to be calling to me at the time) and I ALWAYS feel better by the end. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us, I’m so grateful for this podcast.
2023-02-09

5. This podcast is amazing - I’ve never once listened to a podcast to be honest I never thought they were interesting. However I follow lyss on Instagram and tik tok and I recently went through a breakup and I thought it absolutely shattered me. She helped me learn to trust my gut and really listen to my intuition and love myself again! I love her! She is amazing at speaking about experiences!
2023-02-03

6. Advice straight from the source - This podcast is like listening to a friend who supports you when you’re transitioning from a less than ideal relationship. Lyss is vulnerable in her storytelling & shares lessons from her own life that can apply to so many modern dating situations. There are themes of manifesting/attracting which may or may not resonate, but I’m so glad the algorithm (the universe?) put this podcast on my radar, definitely recommend.
2023-01-31

7. A must listen!!!! - I am three weeks post break up from a narcissist and I came across Lyss and I have been listening to her podcasts all afternoon and it is so refreshing to hear not only similarities and things that we have both gone through and situations we have both gone through but also the words of encouragement that she gives. She knows just what to say. Not only is she funny, witty and smart, but she is very relatable. I definitely recommend this podcast and you will be binge listening like I did for sure.
2023-01-23

8. So glad I found this - I resonate HEAVILY with all of the things Lyss discusses in this podcast. Touching on self reflection, acceptance, meditation, manifestation, toxic relationships and so many other things while never coming across as judgmental or all-knowing. I can genuinely tell she’s done a lot of her own healing work and is solely doing this to help others find that same peace. Thank you so much for this!
2023-01-16

9. Seriously Helped Me - This podcast got me through a really hard breakup recently. I knew deep down I was hurt but this podcast made me realize that I do deserve better and I will be fine without him and it really helped me reflect and open my eyes to the truth of the situation. This made the breakup much easier to go through. I will always recommend this podcast to anyone going through the same thing. And now that I am moved on from my breakup, I plan to continue following and listening to never forget my worth and what I deserve. I am so thankful for this podcast.
2023-01-14

10. The reassurance I needed - As a teenager who is somewhat close to adulthood , it’s sometimes really hard to navigate relationships, and while I’ve been told a lot of this advice before it’s nice to hear it in a way that doesn’t seem accusatory and just sounds like an older sister giving me advice This is a great podcast

11. Exactly what I needed - I recently found this podcast after ending a year relationship and let me tell you, it has really changed my whole perspective about who I am and what I have to offer! I listen to it in the mornings getting ready for classes and I always feel so encouraged and motivated to start my day! / would recommend to anyone who has recently got out of a relationship or who is struggling with how to be content in the season of life they are in.

12. I love this podcast so much. - Lyss, this podcast has really opened my eyes to to inner healing and to let go of things that do not serve me in relationships and friendships but especially in toxic relationships. I really appreciate your input and your advice because it comes from a genuine place and I’m so happy that you decided to utilize your platform to help young adults navigate through difficult situations that life throws at us. I literally binge watched the entire show and I can’t wait to see what has in store for you!

13. Almost perfect - In general these episodes are great and SUPER helpful as I build myself back up after a rough breakup with my first love. The episode about female friendships definitely gave me the ick: definitely tearing down other women and felt very “I’m not like the other girls”. Otherwise a great show :)
2023-01-09

14. It’s just ok - I tried. I liked it for a little while, but I just can’t. That may be a little dramatic, but it’s the truth. It might just be that I’m way older than the intended demographic. I couldn’t get past her style of speech/voice to listen to the information/advice any longer. Best of luck to you!!
2023-01-06

15. A favorite - I love this podcast. The episodes are short, like “bite sized” versions of the self development pods I usually listen to, and that makes it so much easier to stay focused. The topics she chooses are perfect for people in their s or s looking to level up their mental health, relationships, or career. The examples she gives are so authentic and relatable— you can tell she has the life experience to back up her knowledge. My new go-to self development podcast and now one of my all-time favorites
2023-01-05

16. Love her!! - Every single podcast is so relatable!! She doesn’t do super generic podcasts that you hear everyday, and truly goes in depth about her own experiences. I’m at a point where I really needed help with self-improvement and I’m so glad I found out that she created a podcast. I’ve been following her for years on Instagram and she’s really stepping into her power, and now I can too :)
2023-01-03

17. NEEDED TO HEAR THIS - I just finished listening to “stop being impressed by the BARE MINIMUM”. Well, I really needed to hear that. I’ve been settling for less and I know I have been. I just needed to hear it from another perspective or situation. Thinking this guy I’ve been speaking to was really into me by responding to my texts was just pathetic. I’ll be listening to many more episodes moving forward!

Kristen Doute has been through it all and hasn’t lost her love of love. Sex, Love and What Else Matters with Kristen Doute explores all things sex, love, and relationships. Regularly co-hosted by Kristen’s good friend Luke Broderick, the podcast is a deep dive into these topics from both the female and male perspective; unfiltered, vulnerable… and of course, SEXY! Kristen and Luke together debunk the myths and (sometimes) painful truths behind relationships and dating. She shares personal ...

1. Scandavol - Buying a house together does not equate to marriage. What were Raquel has done is almost nearly identical to what Ariana did to you. Once a cheater always a cheater. Doesn’t matter if it’s years or months they are weak and will eventually crack. Everyone on vanderpump rules is morally corrupt.. except for maybe Katie (haven’t heard about her cheating).

2. love kristen. luke needs some work. - i love doute so much, her growth and perspective is incredible. but there is a weird element to (frequent!) discussion about how kristen feels guilty for not giving luke sex whenever he wants. luke apparently staring at her when a guest discusses their active sex life like “are you listening??” luke sounds like a th grader who whines incessantly when his gf doesnt want to bang…. might wanna get that in check, isnt coming across well.
2023-03-22

3. Love but a little bummed - I love listening to Kristen! Loved her when she was on Vanderpump! Love her take on life and all the things! I just wish we could get through an episode of not hearing a republican dig. I am a conservative but I'm not the crazy right, I do believe in freedom of speech at the same time-I would never personally want to make a dig at anyone for believing differently than I do.
2023-03-18

4. Kristen is amazing! - I genuinely love this podcast- Kristen is so much more than some character edited to make a reality show more scandalous. Her brutal honesty and vulnerability are a breath of fresh air and the exact thing I want to hear on a podcast. Everything she has to say makes me feel like I’m in a room with my best friend, mirroring my exact thoughts and feelings. Luke chimes in at the best times- and seems like a true gem of a guy. My Wednesdays are truly better because of this podcast and I look forward to a new one each week- if I had any complaints, I’d definitely gripe that there aren’t daily episodes. I love it, cannot wait to see what each new podcast holds.
2023-03-17

5. Kristen Was Right! And is Fab! - I love this podcast, but even more I love that Kristen who I’ve loved since day one providing the shows best moments on VPR is finally validated! She is an incredible podcaster, absolutely gorgeous, and obviously incredibly intelligent. This is a hero’s journey where she was stigmatized and thrown aside then rose yet again as the strong loyal friend. I’m so proud of her and have never met or spoken to her. She easily makes the most poignant remarks with ease podcasting. All the prior outcast now rock stars esp the gays are celebrating you!
2023-03-13

6. Surprised! - Came to listen to the Scandoval breakdown episode and I have to say, I am pleasantly surprised with what a good podcast this is! Kristen is so well spoken, informed, asks great questions, allows her guest to speak and engages in interesting conversation! Way to go Doute! You have a new subscriber :)
2023-03-09

7. Insightful and Engaging - If you're looking for a podcast that offers frank, insightful discussions about love and sex, look no further. This podcast features a dual of knowledgeable and engaging hosts who tackle a wide range of topics related to relationships and sexuality. Kristin, is thoughtful, entertaining, and informative! Her podcast is well worth a listen for anyone interested in love and sex. Highly recommended!
2023-03-09

8. A month in and already skipping episodes - As a newer podcast, it was at first exciting to see Kristin without the Vander pumpcast around her. I had a high hopes that she had changed/grown as a person, but not only is she still sarcastic and very passive aggressive to her podcast host, but they already are skipping episodes, and not able to get the podcast out consistently.
2023-02-20

9. Rooting for Kristen - Episodes without Luke are good! But the episodes with him feel like a weird public exercise of Kristen justifying to Luke that it’s ok for her to not always want to have sex when he wants to while he publicly guilts and shames her for having a different sex drive. Yikes!! Red flags galore. Run, Kristen! This man is not it! Given that this is a sex & love podcast, please educate yourself more on issues related to sex, consent, and building intimacy with a partner in ways that are not about scorekeeping and “giving in” to appease a partner who uses guilt in toxic ways. Otherwise Kristen is a good host and asks thoughtful questions and has a perfect voice for podcasting. I’m rooting for her.
2023-01-27

10. Dang - Can’t express enough how disturbing it was to listen to the summer fling story. is still a child, statutory age withstanding… Luke and Kristen’s brother are far too old to be intimate with a teenager. How is this acceptable humor (praying they’re joking) for . Get a grip. Won’t be listening and have been a fan of Kristen’s for a long while.
2023-01-07

11. Tried . But NO - I love podcasts and really did give it a chance but i can’t get past Kristen. She was such a bad person , friend , gf on VPR . she never showed her coworkers or her boss any respect and the way she treated Ariana , literally weeks after her dad died ;that carries a lot of weight as to what kind of person you are. She can’t use age as an excuse bc she was way into her ’s. This one’s a pass & not even comparing all the other VPR girls’ podcasts bc I haven’t listened to each ones’ show. Lastly, her jackhammer laugh is enough to turn it off immediately
2023-01-07

12. Podcasting voices - I think everyone saying they wish there was more talk bout vpr relationships that isn’t what this pod cast says it’s about so giving low star review isn’t fair. I think Kristin n Luke both have great pod casting voices. I like the truthfulness and male female perspective on sex.

Comments

1. Gratitude - I can’t really put into words. I have never been one to rate and review a podcast, but I am fully invested. I have my own set of demons just like everyone else, but I honestly don’t feel so alone on the hard dark days, when I feel like I am slipping into a dark moment (bpd) I literally listen to either an episode on here or YouTube, and I feel so much better. (It sort of snaps me out of my mental switch. I hope that doesn’t scare either of you about the impact that you have on people. But I can’t wait to see how far you all take this!
2023-03-23

2. My fav - Obviously everyone has a way they do things at home with their kids and spouse.. but listening to you guys just really make my heart happy. The raw honesty.. the raw love you guys have. My husband and I have been really struggling lately and having you on TikTok and the podcast and also YouTube has helped us a lot. I just appreciate you guys through and through thank you !!
2023-03-23

3. Communication - My wife and I have struggled with communication I love communicating, she has always struggled with it. I found you and you’re husband’s content on TikTok and I introduced my wife to it also we love both listening to you. Thank you for helping us grow stronger in our communication amongst other area’s. Thanks Ilene & Amanda Delvillar
2023-03-22

4. The relationship we strive for - After seeing their content on tiktok I’ve strayed to their podcast and I’m only on the second episode but I can not wait to discuss this with my partner who has also started it with me. Excited to hear the be a lady bonus cast as I’ve not had a feminine role model but she comes off as the same standard of woman that I strive to be. Thank you both.
2023-03-22

5. Love love love - Starting off, I have mixed feelings about certain topics, but overall I love everything that you stand for. I am of the same sex lifestyle, but my wife and I have our designated rolls in the household. Because of your content, our communication skills have improved ten fold and subsequently increased our intimacy with each other. I appreciate everything that you do and fully support you both.
2023-03-20

6. Eye opening - I first saw these guys on tik tok and honestly was a little repulsed by the video I saw, until I kept seeing more and more of their videos. I tuned into the podcast after seeing a tik tok about communication, and I have to say it is game changing. I love their relationship, from the openness of communication to just listening how they talk to each other. A lot of the things they are talking about have been very eye opening and I can’t wait to talk to my partner about them and show him these podcasts. Thank you guys so much for being you and speaking the hard truth that people like me had a hard time coming to terms with!
2023-03-20

7. I found this pc on tictok - I found this pc on tictok and I came here because while a lot of what they say is common sense I realize that I can always learn more. I love their openness and they way they speak to common marital issues. These are the things your parents can’t explain about marriage because communication wasn’t something they were taught.
2023-03-16

8. Listening at work - I have to say these two are amazing! Brutally honest but in the most loving way. You can truly hear how much they love each other! I have been on the self help journey for the last couple years and this podcast has truly lead me to being the partner I’ve always wanted to be! They give some of the best faith based relationship advice out there and do not hold back on what they believe. Thank you guys!
2023-03-15

9. Amazing couple with excellent communication - Y’all, their communication and explaining their thought processes are so refreshing! Even if you don’t think you need relationship advice, give them a shot. I am gleaming information that I can personally use to better my relationship with my husband and others in our lives. Keep in mind, all marriages can benefit from content like this! Our marriage is strong, and he is my best friend, but I still seek out information to help me be a better wife and vice versa. Progress always.
2023-03-14

10. Finally. - I’m new to podcast. I recently lost my son to a stillborn birth three weeks before his dude date. I left his abusive father weeks later. Just found you on tik Tok and in one video I’m already following you! YES to everything I heard so far. In such a tragedy I’m so happy to not have to deal with a man like I had. Thank you for making me feel seen and validated! KEEP GOING!
2023-03-11

11. Life-Changing Perspective - First- love the dynamic between these two. Their love and passion for one another is palpable and what we should all aspire to have in our relationships. Second- you’ve helped me with so much inner-reflection, I feel like a new and improved wife and person as a whole. Thank you!
2023-03-10

12. Love this! - Hey this is a great podcast love the topics. I’m a therapist and what you share is literally what I discuss on the daily with my clients. We need to be better. Period. Communication, love and intimacy are the keys to success in a romantic relationship. Keep up the good work!!! The mental health talks are just top notch. Thanks and always forward.
2023-03-09

13. You guys are awesome! - Listening to you reminds me to take accountability, empower my partner, and grow together. I am blessed to have an amazing man and listening to you motivates me to be better for us, and the future I look forward to having with him. Thank you for such a beautiful example of what marriage could and should be. Appreciate you guys.
2023-03-07

14. Love this . - I love you guys , I came out of a year relationship with my kids father . It’s was dark very ugly on both side and I knew we just aren’t meant . As I taken time to heal going on two years I’ve been single I also like learning about how I can be in my next relationship how we can work not only in a relationship but even with friends . We are all human and if we aren’t trying to better ourself we won’t grow .also thank you for showing me what “heathly” is suppose to be . Keep going so much love & light sent your way . - Michelle
2023-02-23

15. Truly an amazing pair - Following them from tiktok, I mean these are some seriously informative people who have allowed me to credit for myself in not seeing their ways as negative, but actually applying their suggestions to my real life and things have really found themselves falling into place. Becoming better for myself with the help of this lovely podcast.
2023-02-20

16. Killing it - When my husband shared your videos on tik tok I was intrigued, an I would listen ever so intently. I love that you are such a down to earth couple living the traditional life style! Now a days it’s hard to find couples who share the same values. I absolutely LOVE listening to your podcast and find myself wishing there was more. You both keep killing it, your opening eyes, your speaking facts, your staying true to your values and I love it
2023-02-01

17. WOW - I started listening to you guys because odinsink popped up on my fyp and immediately he captured my attention. I then proceeded to follow and binge watch both of you because I related to your content so much! My now fiancé and I have been together for almost years and in that time there have been numerous things that we have had to work through both together and personally due to past trauma and different life events. When I found you guys on TikTok I practically sprinted to show him your content because in the numerous conversations we’ve had about marriage and kids and what kind of future we want together, we had agreed that we want a traditional marriage where I am a stay at home wife and mother and he is the provider. I recently showed him your podcast and now he calls me from work throughout the day to discuss different things that have been talked about on here. He has been absolutely hooked and so have I! I just want to thank you guys for showing a traditional marriage in a such positive light when most people see it as something to be ashamed of wanting nowadays. Your relationship with each other is absolutely beautiful and something to aspire to. Your podcast puts a lot things in to perspective and really makes people think. I love how real and raw everything you guys talk about is and I can’t wait for the next episode!
2023-01-31

18. Love this podcast - I’m and my mom and dad raised me to wait on my husband hand and foot. I will say my husband loves my values. I really think if people will try and change and talk to your partner calmly, they will see a big change in there partner. I’ve raised my boy on how to treat their partner and their wife, and my kids partners call me to brag on what an amazing job I’ve done raising them. I love what y’all are doing with your podcast I look forward to listening to it every week.
2022-12-31

19. Relationship Goals - I’ve just binge listened to all the episodes. I listened at first because I love your content on TikTok. My relationship with my husband isn’t the best and I was hoping this would give me some insight and tools to make things better. What I DIDN’T expect was to realize that I needed to look at myself and what I’m doing or not doing in our relationship to make it good or bad. My past traumas can no longer be used as an excuse. Thank you both!
2022-12-30

20. Inspiring! - I have tremendous respect for both of you and I have learned so much about myself since following your accounts and ways I can better my marriage.. I LOVE that you decided to make a podcast and I will be following your journey from here on out with nothing but love and support for you both!!

Nicole Byer is single and has been for decades. She’s smart, funny, has a fat ass and loves giving blow jobs. So the question is why is she perpetually single? This podcast is a quest to find that answer. Every week, Nicole invites a comedian, friend, or ex-fling to interview their dating life and figure out her own.

Release date: 2023-03-17

Comments

1. I love Nicole and I love to watch herb show nailed it - I would always go watch nailed it and now I found out that she has a podcast I have been listening every day every since I found out he has a podcast I’ve been listening every day when I leave the house on the radio and I literally listen to it on my phone.
2023-03-14

2. Always entertaining and hilarious! - I already enjoy Nicole so this podcast is just perfect. Guests are entertaining and funny. Nicole has me smiling the whole episode (most of the time). Topics are usually about relationships (which normally wouldn’t be my cup of tea) but if you like her I’d definitely give it a listen. She is a great interviewer and really down to earth but raunchy as well. Love love love.
2023-02-09

3. I listen to every ad. She kills me for no reason. - Thanks for being such a fun and also lowkey serious. But serious fun? Person to listen to. Truly. Ur ads are soy funny. Sry. I type stupid. Thank you again and honestly. This whole moment of “am I undervaluing myself by making a joke that it would be hilarious for someone to want me” just makes me more intrigued and root for you more. Where ever your happy place ends up being, I’m soy along for the ride. Again. Thank you and good luck!!
2023-01-28

4. Gets me through - I don’t know how to put into words how much Nicole has helped me get through my past year. She is by far the funniest podcast host of the century, and I always get little snippets of her throughout my week god bless her because of “best friends” and of course WWYDM. Best guests, best host, best laughs ugh I love Nicole and this premise to death! Also I am a year old gay so she reaches the lgbtq youth people. I will listen for hours.
2023-01-27

5. I love Nicole! - Such a great show, I adore Nicole’s genuineness and find the show so fun and funny! After listening to the episode with the beautiful Keke Palmer, I had to stop laughing long enough to google the ratio of men to women in the world… Keke said there are like women to every man… but really its like men to women, so just like half and half, the odds are way better than she was shouting out! Hooray! Thanks for being my favorite diva! What a treat what a dream!
2023-01-18

6. th Episode - Oh wow I just listened to the th episode and Willam was so forthcoming and disarming! What a treat! A But I want to talk about how adorable “Malaysia” guy was. I’d love to see if other guys you date can answer your survey like this nice gentleman kinda did so listeners can gather data and get down to the bottom of why no suitor has come to his/her senses and locked you down! Ps: “Moo!” by DojaCat should be your theme song because you embody everything in that song!
2023-01-02

7. The guests are amazing, the host is amazing, just listen to the show - I just saw the latest episode was with Keke Palmer and I couldn’t click play fast enough. WWYDM is one of my favorite podcasts. Always funny, often helpful, and sometimes touching. Nicole Byer is a national treasure and we have never deserved her.
2022-12-04

8. Love Nicole BUT… - I love Nicole, she is one of my favorite comedians and I watch/listen to anything she’s in religiously. BUT ever since the podcast joined Team Coco, I feel like the quality of the guests has really taken a nose dive. She’s recently been talking to some real boring people and it’s a snooze-pocalypse. Now and then Nicole comes alive when she gets to talk to interesting people (a lot of the time these are queer, PoC and non boring strs guests), but that seems to be few and far between now. I’ll continue listening, but if the quality of the guests doesn’t improve, I might skip more and more episodes. Love you Nicole, but your producers need to put in as much works as you put in!
2022-11-11

9. So empowering and funny! - I am so glad I went to Nicole’s IG and saw her podcast. It is coming at a very monumental time in my life where I need to hear stories of unconventional and untraditional ways of loving as someone who wants a relationship! It is empowering and funny and allows us to know more intimately about people we genuinely like. Thank you Nicole

The Michelle Obama Podcast features the former First Lady diving deep into conversations with loved ones—family, friends, and colleagues—on the relationships in our lives that make us who we are.

Release date: 2022-07-27

Comments

1. The Michelle Obama Podcast - I appreciate your candor and views. It is very refreshing to hear a lot of women experience the same things in life. I think your podcast is great. I hope you have more episodes to come. I also am looking forward to hear more from the podcast from you introduced. The book I believe is The sum of Us (I believe that is the title, I have to check) it is now on my list to read. Thank you for all that you have done and are now doing. You are an inspiration.
2023-02-16

2. Selfishness - I enjoyed the episode with your husband on priority living. I lived in that poor community where that extended family helped keep the kids on the right path, and didn’t discover that it was necessary. I only wanted to get a basic education and leave the community that I felt was smothering me in just discipline and listening to warped thinking and never having a voice. I feel selfish now that my view has changed. Your podcast is the hope that I can give back to the community that I come from.
2022-09-09

3. Love her/them - I’ve so far only listened to the first episode and I was laughing so hard while working out. I loved listening to her and Barack carry on, it was just, refreshing. I miss the days of respect that their House brought to our country. Wonderful and amazing people. I’ll be listening to the rest of her podcasts. Thank you. You are missed.
2022-07-03

4. Positive and Real - This podcast is inspiring, realistic to life, and has a great positive spin. I appreciate hearing from Michelle. She has been slandered for stupid reasons, yet she presses forward to help and inspire others. I especially have loved meeting her family on the podcast. Her life experiences and outlook are just great!
2022-06-22

5. Great Conversations! - I love Michelle Obama’s podcast because I feel like I’m “in the room where it happens”! The conversational style of dialogue makes the listener feel connected. I find myself responding with an “Emhm” or “Me too” because Michelle understands what we all are going through. Continue making our world a better place just by being YOU, my forever FLOTUS! Angelic Berry

6. Woke Cult of Lies Hate and Division - How much more of this Fascist Anti-Science Democrat Woke Cult can this country take. Lies Racism Hate Why would anyone trust anybody associated with the WOKE CULT. I hope you are on the campaign trail. I have never been involved in politics, but I am now. Evil, Pure Evil.
2022-01-31

7. Really terrible - With all the censorship and surveillance technology she supports, its hard to believe anything Michelle says on here. If you censor opposing viewpoints you can get people to believe anything. Michelle (and especially Barack) has built an America that is much more like Stalinist Soviet Union than the old free flow of ideas America. No vaccine for me. If Michelle has been caught lying about some things, maybe she's lying about other things too? Remember, Americans lie to get money for themselves; the repercussions of those lies have echoed into murdering people with medicine. I will never bow to a killer like Michelle who the media submits to so fully.
2021-10-07

8. This woman is amazing… - If you love to hear smart, strong and centered people than this is the podcast for you. My review has nothing to do with politics, I found her to be very eloquent and very respectful of others opinions. I respect people that no matter what try to bring the best of others. Great job Michele, Good bless you for your inspiring stories and interviews.
2021-10-05

9. A terrific, human podcast - With all the yelling and chaos coming from so many these days, it was a pleasure to find this podcast and enjoy listening to conversations that contained maturity, thoughtfulness, and empathy. These conversations have something for everyone. We need more of this. Thank you Michelle!
2021-09-07

10. More bad than good - It’s unfortunate to have the forum she has, and to continue with this false narrative that the white folks are out to get them. It’s a lie…racism was on life support in this country until the Obamas arrived and revived it and divided the nation with the false idea that racism never waned and instead became covert (see dog-whistle racism)…what a waste…
2021-08-27

11. Being an older white woman - I am enjoying listening you all you say. You are opening my eyes to the issues of being a black woman. I have two black daughter in laws and getting educated through them is an education. I love your story about getting ice cream. There is a life time of learning before we die. Michelle never give up. All white folks are not the same. One more thing all white people don’t treat other white folks too nice either.
2021-07-01

12. My First Podcast - Michelle Obama’s first podcast with Barack Obama is the first podcast I ever listened to. I absolutely loved it! The topic so interesting. The conversation so casual I felt they were in the room with me and were raised just as I was! The voices so comforting to hear! I am hooked! Will definitely listen to all of her podcasts!

For more fun dating commentary, polls, and bonus content, follow @u.up.podcast on Instagram.

Release date: 2023-03-26

Comments

1. LOVE THE POD - I am a day one listener, I’m married and have been in a relationship for the past years but I still love to listen. Love all of the banter between Jordana and Jared. Had to take a stand, reading some of these reviews. Life ebbs and flows and Jared is just in a time in his life which is REFRESHING we all go through difficult times and it’s nice to relate too dating or not. Love the dynamic of these two and shout out to maddy and the teachers husband in the back!
2023-03-24

2. Jared is so repetitive and can’t see others’ POV - Love the show and been a subscriber for years. I am so sick of hearing Jared saying the same stuff over and over. I appreciated that Jordana was more explicit with this ep on therapy but Jared repeated the same things he’s said for a year. He can’t get over the hump of a first date, he doesn’t get what therapists do, he’s lazy abt dating and that sounds bad blah blah blah. I am very close to unsubscribing. He was different a few years ago, and the podcast was much better for it bc he was more open-minded and less against women. He was going to push back against what Adam Pally said, he started to, and then Adam kept going and was so strong in his POV that Jared agreed. Jordana, please be stronger in your push back bc he needs it and the podcast needs it.
2023-03-24

3. Dump Jared - Edited: Hey Betches, at what point is Jared a liability for your brand? I’m -year listener on the verge of unsubscribing, seems like I’m not the only one. Jared has always been regressive, but now he’s bordering on incel and i can’t listen to his mediocre white man whining much longer. Adam Pally was a breath of fresh air- please save the podcast and find a male host who is capable of some reflection.

4. New faces agreed - I agree with the reviewer who said the show needs new faces. As much as I like Jordana, she’s really not in this phase of life and seems to have forgotten how difficult it is. She lacks empathy. And Jared’s defending of the un-defendable should stop. He’s so great on JTrain, don’t enjoy him on Uup.
2023-03-24

5. Jordana, if you’re reading this - Love the pod but it’s riding the struggle bus as of late. .) Jared - you’re burnt out and you need a break. A good vacation (not Fra), some time off podcasting, and some therapy in no particular order. .) I don’t mind a long intro, but having to hear some shallow New York Times article on modern dating or Jared’s dating rants for the th time is getting extremely old and stale, and it’s limiting the number of emails you get to. .) Idk if it’s a quality control issue or what, but mix up the emails a little bit. They’re getting repetitive. I’m not sure if only certain ones are being chosen by the production crew but if I have to hear another dumb email by a year old whose college boyfriend of years won’t commit or some woman who has given her man too many chances, I’m gonna lose it. There has to be other topics in the mail bag - and if there aren’t, please let us know and we will happily think of things to discuss. Ask for specifics if needed!

6. One big commercial - I’m a fan of this podcast but lately it has been feeling like one big commercial. The advertisements themselves are SO long but also the first / minutes of the show are spent promoting Jared’s upcoming shows, other podcasts, local NY restaurants, etc. And then, right when you feel you’re about to “get into it,” god forbid the person writing in is a subscriber. Because then you get pitched to subscribed, which inevitably turns into a commercial for the YouTube channel. Feels like only -% of the show is actual content at this point. Please increase actual content! You guys have interesting insights and it’s fun to listen to, but I’m losing interest at this point as it feels like my time is being wasted.

7. Love Jordana! - This review would have been five stars a year ago but at this point I’m mainly returning for Jordana. As a fellow anxious dater, it’s so helpful to know that you’re not alone in this and I really appreciated her perspective and vulnerability on her journey with this. Absolutely loved Adam Pally as a guest host with a refreshingly healthy male perspective. Docking one star and echoing prior comments about Jared and his attitude toward women and dating. I think Jordana has done a good job gently pushing back, particularly with Jared’s primitive views on therapy which were cringeworthy to listen to. Bring back Adam Pally as a male cohost with Jordana!

8. Love, just one thing! - I love listening to this podcast! It is great for commutes, the gym, a walk or hanging around the house. I have just one thing that I personally would like to see improved. Maybe in the description of the episode the team can put time stamps on when different sections would happen. I feel lately the openings get really long. Some days I’m into it some days I’m not. For example today the opening today went about minutes. Awkward sex was shortly after then the first email wasn't until minutes or so. It would be nice to know where we can fast forward to. Thanks!
2023-03-22

9. Jordana is the lifeblood of the pod! - Jordana keeps me listening. She is reasonable, realistic, and levelheaded and provides thoughtful advice with solid humor. Jared, on the other hand, has got to go. To me, he seems so angry, anti-dating, anti-woman, and hateful. If he hates dating and hates women wanting to date, why is did he make himself the spokesperson for the male dating perspective? His jaded perspective is sending the wrong message to listeners. This is NOT how all men think and I don’t believe he’s “% away” anymore. It would be like if jordana hated RHONJ so much that the mention of it set her off, yet she continued to host “mention it all.” Time to go, Jared! Glad to have the oversharing podcast now to keep my jordana fix. Sad to have had to cancel my benefits subscription but Jared’s most recent anti-therapy episode was brutal. I feel for him deep down because I’m sure he’s struggling but he doesn’t need a platform while he’s like this. Keeping star rating because I don’t want to mess with the charts, though!
2023-03-22

10. Great podcast - I want to echo another recent review that was defending Jared! I started listening to this podcast because of him (is/was a J Train listener) and got to “know” and appreciate Jordana along the way. He’s being genuine about where he is in life at the moment, while still making us laugh. So tired of everyone wanting every detail of a podcast exactly how they want it to be. Also I love the long intros. Not sure why people don’t want more content from podcasts they like. There is always the pause button!
2023-03-22

11. Love but becoming repetitive - Jared has a relationship with the dating apps like a girl has a toxic situationship. He’s constantly deleting and re-downloading them like a girl deletes and re-adds the number of a guy who doesn’t want to commit to her but will breadcrumb her along It’s almost painful and becoming repetitive to hear how he’s clearly addicted to the dopamine bursts of validation he gets from swiping on the apps. It seems like every third benefits episode is him talking about how he’s deleted and redownloaded them and the dialogue around that convo is the same. I still love him though, he’s super funny. Just seems like he’s stuck in this cycle. Jordana, you’re amazing.
2023-03-21

12. Good lord - Jordana god bless you for putting up with Jared. The latest benefits episode was insane. Jared denying that therapy would help or failing to see HOW BADLY HE NEEDS It. It’s insane, frustrating, has been mentioned in numerous reviews- admin, anyone, Maddie, Jorge, betches…. SEND JARED TO THERAPY ASAP ITS RUINING THE POD. p.s. the stark contrast between Adam palley & him was sooo clear.
2023-03-21

13. Absolutely amazing podcast - Favorite podcast ever. I’ve listened to every single episode. My boyfriend secretly loves it as well. Both of you are so lovable and relatable! I’m Jewish and feel like I’m hanging out with my family. Very few people make me laugh… and Jared you do it! I appreciate that you both are unfiltered and opinionated in a time where it’s unfortunately dangerous to be so. Please don’t change. Adam Pally is amazing! What a great guest!
2023-03-20

14. Jared go to therapy! - I have enjoyed listening over the last year but the last few months have been repetitive and it’s due to Jared and his issues. I am so happy that Jordana finally told him to go to therapy today! Long overdue. Therapy is amazing and Jared is in need of understanding why he doesn’t want a girlfriend. I loved the e way Jordana explained the process to him - I completely agree with her. Jared put some time and money towards understanding yourself for the good of you and the listeners!
2023-03-20

15. More Adam Pally! - Was so refreshing to hear from a man who actually values building a partnership, love what Adam said about not “letting go of the rope” and his no-filter response to that awful emailer. I used to love listening to Jared, but he doesn’t seem like he’s in a good headspace to be dating right now and it’s been frustrating to hear him talk himself in circles for months. Hoping he takes Jordana’s advice to try out a therapist, or even a few different therapists, and hoping he finds someone he vibes with that helps him.
2023-03-20

16. Best / Favorite Podcast - MORE ADAM PALLY PLEASE. Can’t wait to hear “I’m Jordan’s Adbraham, and I’m Adam Pally welcome to the U Up podcast” Editing my original review. Love the show and look forward to listening weekly but Jared is starting to lean away from “defending the undefendable, and showing the guys perspective” and leaning into, bitter, cynical, thinking women are all crazy. Getting a little cringe. It’s let’s believe women and not gaslight them for having feelings.
2023-03-20

17. Ugh - EXTREMELY shocked and disappointed in this week’s Sunday special. No matter how problematic you think someone’s behavior is, they should never be met with comments implying/explicitly stating that they should kill themselves. All in minutes I heard that he should drive off a cliff, get the bad covid, fall in a sewer drain and get hit by a bus. Suicide is never a funny “joke”. Bummed that this was seen as a “funny” episode….
2023-03-20

18. More Adam Pally, Less Violet Benson - This week’s Sunday Special was a breath of fresh air after the terrible episode last week. I’m going to echo other reviewers on here and ask that you don’t invite Violet back. I could barely get through it and warned my friends off listening to the episode, it was that bad. Adam was great this week. Obviously there wasn’t much difference of opinion over the letter writer but it was still great to see the strong yet hilarious takes from Jordana, Jared, and Adam. I’d like to request Yamaneika as a guest. She is a fan favorite on the JTrain podcast and I think she would bring such a great perspective to the show. She is also hilarious and her comments always have me laughing. Thanks for considering and keep up the great work!
2023-03-20

19. The Best - I’ve been a huge fan of the pod for years now and a benefits subscriber! I really appreciate Jared’s raw and honest feelings and stories about his dating life. As a single woman in my s who’s been on the dating scene for a while, I can % relate and it makes me feel less alone with these feelings/frustrations. The reason why we all love you so much is that you’re so real with relatable humor. Please never stop sharing your personal life on the pod! Also, your intros are always entertaining not too long! Keep up the great work, J&J!
2023-03-19

20. Particularly Loved - The Adam Pally guest episode! Hot take on having general human decency standards and so refreshing to hear compared to the condoning of mediocrity and thinking of people as less than human beings! Very into the strong stance :) Been a listener for years. J&J wisdom remains tried and true bringing us back to choosing what’s best for ourselves and having discernment. Thanks guys!
2023-03-18

21. Love J&J!!’ - I love this podcast- been listening since the beginning and they have changed my entire perspective on relationships both romantic and otherwise. I’ve recommended the podcast to many friends, and it’s my go to every week. I find myself loling often! However….violet benson on the recent episode was insufferable. It’s the first episode I had to delete because I couldn’t bear to listen to her… when she told Jared to “grow up” I wanted to jump through my phone and defend him/yell right back at her (Jared I appreciate that you were very professional and polite)…. Anyway. Keep up the great work. You guys don’t need stupid guests and are enough in your own
2023-03-17

22. I love the new SOS episodes! Also love other Betches podcast hosts as guests - Can you have KayYorkCity on as a guest? She’d be awesome! I love episodes where other Betches podcast hosts join like Dr. Naomi (I’d love it if she came back again too). Also love the new SOS episodes, I like hearing from the audience. Jared and Jordana make me laugh every single episode! They both have helped me feel more confident in my dating life. They also remind me to make sure I have fun while dating (which I can sometimes forget lol). I love how they catch up with each other at the start of the episode, it makes me feel like I get to know them as people. Keep up the good work!!! I still die laughing thinking about the awkward story with the poo in the cat litter box - literally the funniest thing I have ever heard
2023-03-17

23. Thank you - Long time listener of the show and can’t thank you guys enough for all the episodes. I listen to them each week and feel like I’m catching up with friends at this point. I’ve seen some negative reviews for Jared and I couldn’t disagree more. He’s being authentic! Ps please never have violent again she was horrible
2023-03-16

24. star show with a star guest - I have to echo the other reviews on this one begging you not to invite violet again. You guys usually have such great guests and this is such a downgrade. She is the epitome of what I think Jared refers to as millennial mad libs (if I remember correctly?) lol but in all seriousness, she sounds like if you put all the frequently used buzz words/phrases on Twitter into a machine and made it come up with full sentences. She has never had an original thought in her life and she seems to have gained fame because checks notes she started stealing peoples memes and posting them as her own before anyone else had the idea to do that? Anyway I know I’m just one little reviewer lol but I’m not docking you guys any stars because y’all are fantastic otherwise. I’m a benefits subscriber too and don’t have any intention of unsubscribing but please don’t bring her on again. This is the first episode ever that you guys have put out that I won’t be listening to in its entirety.

1. LA Interviews - big NO - Love you guys so much and will always leave stars, but the LA interviews were so tragically bad (besides Erin and Carly). Tara??? Cynthia?? I couldn’t even listen, had to turn them off. They were so so bad, why give Tara a platform? You shouldn’t feel like you guys need to interview all the D-listers of LA, you guys are much better on your own!!
2023-03-09

2. FAV POD, FAV PPL. - Bri, O Malley, Gia, and Hannah are my favorite people and absolutely love the pod! I only have one friend and because we live miles apart we don’t get to spend a lot of time with each other, listening to the pod makes me feel like I have a friend to hangout with. The pod never fails to make me feel surrounded, heard, loved, and dead from laughter. The crew always puts a smile on my face and is THE highlight of my day. Everyone is so genuine, sweet, and hilarious! Even when it’s isn’t Tuesday or Thursday I still find myself going to play an older episode. The pod is a literal lifesaver and keeps me in a good headspace. Whether its Bri and Grace catching us up on their lives, or sharing crazy stories, they never disappoint!! Even when the pod isn’t playing, I’m always thinking about my beast girls. Everything is so relatable and real, I’m so happy to have PlanBri in my life!!
2023-01-11

3. Sleep when you’re dead XD - I don’t agree with their view points on everything but hey that’s okay! I LOVE these two. Grace is such a gem and an adding her to PlanBri was the best decision ever. The girls have a great dynamic and always make me laugh. Love that there are two episodes a week now. Love you guys. Sending stars your way
2022-11-26

4. “Be a decent human” - It’s really disheartening to see the path Bri is going down… Seems like she’s completely losing herself. Bri contradicts herself a lot between the two podcasts she’s on/her tiktok to the point where she’s just blatantly lying. The feather boa debacle was obvs petty and she clearly lied about the entire story (confirmed by her story time that she posted and took down shortly thereafter) but regardless, she acted disgusting and just seems like an unwell, toxic person :( Bri — take care of yourself and go back to being “a decent human”

1. Go Jared - I remember when I first came across Shans Instagram. She popped up on my news feed wearing a sexy nurse costume and celebrated HO-Halloween. This is when I knew I had to learn more about her!!! I’ve listened to every single episode each week faithfully. I’ve been able to relate to all of them in someway and I feel I’ve somehow grew mentally and emotionally from listening. Listening to this show has increased my vocabulary, expand my mind, and has helped me worry less about judgement as I’ve learned we are all out here winging. I’ve come to realize that we worry so much about being accepted and viewed as “normal” but none of us are normal really, we’re all pretty much the same. All of us are battling something behind closed doors and just want to be accepted. I’m so grateful to have came across Shans podcast, it’s truly helped me appreciate and love myself so much more. As for Jarred, I’m so impressed with how well he expressed himself here in the last segment. I remember watching an old YouTube video and he mentioned not being able to express himself how he’d like. He’s done so great over the years and you two are just so beautiful together. Y’all are my couplegoals Love, Judy Ig: judysworld__

2. Saw you on Catfish!!!! - I discovered this podcast through your appearance on a another podcast, where I was struck by your humor and intelligence. I went back and listened to every episode, and am always excited for the next drop! I’m writing this review from the couch as I am watching you drive off from meeting your “catfish” on the latest episode of the MTV show. As a long time viewer, you killed it! Love seeing you on my TV! As a big supporter of both platforms, I’d be eager to hear how the experience was for you. Did you watch the episode back? Did you have to prepare a lot to be on television? Did you have fun? I’ll continue to rate and review, thank you for all that you do!
2023-03-23

3. My Fave Weekly Show - I absolutely love the way you lay out your podcast; I know I’ll hear a spicy quote in the beginning, cue the “Lovers and Friends” intro music, then you take us on a ride with your guest. I love the range in topics and I even started sharing it with my boyfriend so we listen to it together from time to time. I absolutely love what you are doing and you inspire me to take care of my friendships, my lover and most importantly myself in the best way I can. Thank you!!
2023-03-22

4. This gives me sanity! - I love listening to you, Shan! I love the topics especially those that are most difficult to have! I relate to so many of them and I’m always eagered to hear what the next episode will be about. I love the transperancy of this podcast and the vulnerability that your guest have to have. I look forward to listening to more of your pods!
2023-03-20

5. Can you connect through a Podcast? - Connecting or having conversations with folks surrounding me can be so difficult because of the lack of depth and understanding I feel from their behalf. Having the privilege to have stumbled across this Podcast has been my highlight of the year! I feel like when I tune into an episode I am part of the conversation and I am left feeling like I got my daily dose of socializing. I absolutely love taking whatever I hear and discussing it with my lover / Highly recommend
2023-03-20

6. Incredible Thought-Provoking Content - I have been binge listening your content since the beginning of this year. I’m always walking around with my wireless earpiece listening to your podcast and I’m sure I have gotten several side-eyes from randomly bursting with laughter while at work. Your content literally gets me through the day. If you’ve had any doubt about whether or not you are accomplishing the initial goal of this podcast, let me be the one to tell you that in my opinion you have very successfully integrated entertaining and informative content. I have learned soooo much from listening and I pray you continue sharing these gems with the world.
2023-03-19

7. New Format - Hi Shan!!! I love your show and have been listening for almost two years. Super thankful for all the gems that have made my life better and the amazing guests you’ve had on the show; however, the new format makes me feel like I’m an outsider to the conversation. Almost as if you and your guests are talking over my head and there’s missing information in the episode. I hope this is received in love. I still ADORE this show and will continue to support!
2023-03-18

8. / beautiful podcast - Shan is such an intelligent, beautiful, intriguing, well thought out human that I’ve very much enjoyed listening to over the past years. The way she explains everything, the vulnerability and honesty of her being, and the perspectives and poise she brings to this podcast is like no other. I have learned so much from this podcast alone. Thank you for all you do and for putting yourself out there for the benefit of others!
2023-03-15

9. Shan and Jared after Kids - I love this podcast and I always tune in. This specific episode was so raw and so real. I am single without kids and it def gave me a lot to think about in all the best ways. This is also the first time I really “saw” Jared. I’ve always “saw” Shan but this episode helped me to catch a glimpse of y’all as a unit and really hold space for what y’all have. I would love to hear about what an open relationship for y’all looks like and how often you both step out of the relationship to be with other lovers. After hearing this episode I just can’t believe that you both don’t exist on your own planet with only your kids. There was so much love during this episode. It was so beautiful.
2023-03-15

10. We need less unnecessary chatter - What really draws me to this podcast is that there isn’t any side chatter or over talking each other where I can barely understand. Shan allows the guest to talk and she is intently engaged. Also she make people like us feel like were seen. Shan is so relaxed and relatable.
2023-03-14

11. Amazing, thought provoking, relatable podcast you didn’t know you needed - I came here to say I never felt more seen especially watching that friends episode, just to see someone else already commented that exact thing lol but that’s testament to the amazing work you are doing. I’m going through such a tough time rn figuring myself and life out, and navigating all the obstacles that comes with growing and healing. And this podcast has been such a monumental part of that journey. Thank you for the work you’re putting into creating this Shan, and thank you to the guest for sharing such intimate parts of your lives
2023-03-11

12. Love This Podcast! - Shan, I felt so seen in the friendship episode. I have friends that I feel that I have outgrown and friendships that I want to grow but the work I know it will take, overwhelms me. A lot of my friends are very different and may not even mesh together if I tried to get them together. I have some things to consider. Thank you for this episode!
2023-03-09

13. Such valuable and honest conversations! - I love, love, love this podcast. I’ve been listening to it for a long time but I think one of the most vulnerable and hard hitting episodes to date is the recent one on friendships. So many valuable nuggets of truth and wisdom, and such interesting perspectives. Shan has such great rapport and interviewing style with her guests, and is very forthcoming and leads with honesty regarding her own relationships. I appreciate her open mindedness, the way she disarms guests with compassion and genuine listening, and the way she constantly evolves as a content creator with integrity.
2023-03-09

14. How many of us have them? - I am so impressed by this episode on friendship! It really resonated with me in a time where I feel like I’m struggling to make “active friends.” I’ve never understood why society doesn’t emphasize the importance of platonic relationships more and this episode really made me feel less alone in my longing for them.
2023-03-09

15. For the lovers, and FRIENDS! - I’ve been listening for over a year and have always been impressed by Shan’s topics and interview questions. The Friendship episode really hit a cord for me. My friendship style closely resembles Tabia’s (without the kids) and I LIVE for the discussions around friendships. Throughout my life I have always felt more enriched by platonic relationships over romantic ones. I think people need to talk about friendships more often. Thank you for discussing this so I have another one of your links to send to all my girls.
2023-03-08

16. No one does it like Shan! - I love love love Shan and have been a huge fan of hers for years. This podcast is the highlight of my week and I always look forward to listening to it on Wednesday mornings on my commute to work. Her topics, guests, and can I add ad placements? are amazing! I normally skip through ad placements but Shan somehow finds ways to connect them to her show and I love it! Props to Shan for creating such an engaging podcast, keep up the amazing work.
2023-03-08

17. Always perfect timing - I just finished listening to the episode about friendships and it couldn’t have come at a better time. I felt like the guests were speaking directly to my heart and could relate to Shan’s own observations about herself. I’ll definitely be giving this one a playback so I can take notes!
2023-03-08

18. So many “ah- ha moments” - When I tell you I am SUCH a fan… Your vulnerability, love, wisdom, and of course your spicy side has opened me up to so much. I constantly incorporate the things I learn, emotionally AND physically, in both my platonic and romantic relationships. One thing listeners can really learn from you is how you hold space for people that might think differently, and then turn that knowledge into an objective statement that empathizes with a thought process that might be very different from our own views. Thank you deeply for sharing all that you do.
2023-03-05

19. Soulmates - I grieved.. like really grieved the death of Chadwick Boseman. His life deeply impacted me and his death made me that more committed to not settling for a love that doesn’t inspire me. Thanks to you, I now understand that he is a muse soulmate for me. I loved that episode, thank you Shan.
2023-03-05

20. Had to get a tutorial to Leave review! - Hi Shan Boodram! I am such a fan of the show! I am new to podcast and I started with Kamie’s podcast! And she introduced me to you! I love your contest, how you give your opinion based on your experience but also have the research to back you up! I wanted to leave you a review forever and as ignorant as this sounds! I did not know how to, I had to Google it lol! Two of my favorite episodes are the row recent ones! The one talking about sex with your husband and the one talking about “soulmate becoming your ex” which by the way you scared me thinking you and your hubby had broken up! Anyways love your work and will forever be a fan! -Gladys A. From Mass
2023-03-02

21. Soulmates - The different types of soulmates was by far my favorite episode.. I definitely made me reflect on some of my past relationships and forced me to get real with myself as to why I am content with my current single status for the past years. As always your topics are thought provoking and I love that about your podcast!! If there was one topic I would like to hear more about it would be finding your life partner later in life.
2023-03-02

22. Love is Healing - I have been following Shan for about years now. My friend suggested I followed Shan on Instagram while I was struggling to let go of an ex after a breakup. I have been loving the Lovers & Friends podcast!!! It is so refreshing to gain perspective on how I relationship, hear stories I can relate to, and feel like I’m not alone. Thank you for this!
2023-03-01

23. Loved this Q&A episode with Jared!! - Loved all the questions on here. I related to a couple of them as a woman who struggles with vaginismus & a bisexual woman who is in two separate relationships currently with a man and a woman. I appreciated Jared’s perspective on all the questions, especially the one about vaginismus as my male partner & I both agree that it’s better to just be honest about the condition and seek medical help. It is definitely more of a pyschological process than physical, so my recommendation is to talk openly about it with your partner & have sex when it feels natural and when you and your body feel open to it. And lube… lots of lube!! Also wanted to make an episode suggestion for topics on polyamory, late blooming lesbians, and someone who is opening their relationship but not in a thruple way, just having more than one partner, etc. Love the pod & have been a fan for a while!! :)
2023-03-01

24. For one of my soul mates! - Shan! I’ve been following you for some years now and I continue to be Intrigued!!! (I LOVE LOVE EVERYTHING YOU AND YOUR FAMILY DOES AND REPRESENTS) In one of your previous episodes you mentioned how you started to get bv or utis when you would hook up with an ex. I would be so interested in knowing more about that? I would be interesting to hear more about the mind, body, and “soul” connection for people during sex. :)
