Such an interesting interview with Jess and Sarah, DOY. Sarah is very articulate, speaking from her own life experiences, including her own physical and mental health journey and imparting her experiences and wisdom with listeners. Offering good advice- goodness and kindness go a long way.
Love the show except for one flaw

I want to start by saying I absolutely love this podcast. I’ve been listening from the beginning and never miss an episode. I love Jess and have done so since studio 10 and even stopped watching them once she left! Read all her books and love all the mental health awareness she brings. However, for a podcast that promotes inclusivity, I still to this day don’t understand why the Pauline Hanson episode was removed. I was half way through it and it was taken down. It’s always bothered me that for someone who advocates for people to have a voice, it was decided to remove that one episode (and before I got to the end of it no less lol). I’d love that episode to be added again. People can choose if they want to hear it or not and it means the message of everyone having a voice is truely stood by in all its capacity. Otherwise that’s my only issue! The rest is great!
More than just a podcast

Over the years I’ve listened to or watched Jess and she has spoken about her life dealing with her mental health. Such real experiences shared with honesty and clarity. Thru those shared experiences I have made my life better by taking a similar path. Thank you for the conversations.
