Fascinating, helpful, empowering

I was really struggling in my work life and found this pod at the perfect time. A lot of the topics AHP and her guests discussed allowed me to percolate on my own issues. (The self-confidence ep with Josh Gondelman was the first one I listened to and hoo boy! It was so great.) Feels like a good brainstorm sesh with friends, but with SCRIPTS and SPECIFIC actionable advice! I love it.

Interesting and relevant

Just a few episodes in, but the topics are interesting and thought provoking. I find them to be different from what else is out there. Usually I read Anne Helen Peterson, but the podcast is a great addition to her articles.
