Customer Reviews
Love and gratitude for you guys!
I’m not sure if it was this podcast or instigated brought me to you guys first but I’m so glad I found you. I started listening to your podcast a few years into my spiritual journey and all the things you guys share feel so resonant, deep, and expansive. I’m a 3/6 Emo Manifestor and constantly feel Mat’s initiating qualities and the beautiful way that Ash mirrors that back. I work as a Clinical Therapist so I was elated that you guys were writing The Inner Work of Relationships and I can’t tell you how many people I’ve recommended your book and that episode to just this week!
Thank you guys for what you do!!
On point
I’ve been learning so much about myself and the reasons why I react to situations the way that I do. The Inner Work book is extremely helpful on it own, but the way Mat & Ash combined the work book with the podcast and yoga sessions on YouTube is brilliant! I highly recommend this work! Thank you both for your love and insight. ❤️💫🙏😘
Let each other talk. Take turns
I started the podcast episodes after finishing the book. I went in with the same hope as the book but was really let down. They are CONSTANTLY talking over each other or interrupting what they are saying. I have a really hard time following what is being said because there is 2 things going on at the same time.
