Inspiring

These podcasts are sooo interesting and I’ve really enjoyed listening to them, having previously read some of the books written by some of the guest speakers. Alanis Morisette is very honest and I love the humour she brings to the topics. I’ve learnt a lot from these podcasts. I’ve been very moved by some of the conversation and humility shown. I’ve finally listened to them all and look forward to any future conversations. Highly recommend for anyone who’s willing to look within.

Reading some of the harsh recent reviews 😕, I think some people have forgot that this an in conversation. Ie two people talking in conversation

Excellent

I’ve only just discovered this podcast and love it. Alanis is a brilliant interviewer and covers such interesting topics. I really enjoyed the HSP episode, being one myself. Thank you

Too interruptive

I find the guests being too interrupted. It’s great that Alanis wants to learn and share (ALL) her thoughts but she interrupts the interviewees way too much and it makes it very difficult to follow!
Either just make this just your show or let the guests share their knowledge please!
