Too many to mention

I can’t rate just one episode as they’re all good! Listening to Shaun’s voice from the other side of the world, heading him ask the questions, reveal insights about his own path - a very sexy and enlightening conversation that makes me wish he lived closer! Great book recommendations with each episode !!

How to love bravely is an amazing episode

How to love bravely is my favourite podcast so far. It held so many answers for me and I left with an unexpected clarity on some of my own issues that have been impacting on the way I enter into relationships. Love your podcast and can’t wait to see what you bring in the future!

Great podcast!

This is a great podcast. I just wanted to say you do really great work. It’s helped me grow and explore things I would not have otherwise done on my own. Your honest and comfortable conversations, in your podcast, insta posts etc in some weird way give me a sense of permission to explore the normally unspoken. It’s been of great value. Love it.
