A must watch

So I’m not one to watch a lot of Dr Phil or emotional talk shows/podcasts. But when this show originally came out, I was rather hooked due to how down to earth it was. This show acted more akin to talking like with friends rather than dealing with big issues, to where it made those big issues seem minor. An when it went away the first time, I was sad, as I enjoyed the weekly talks. Especially enjoyed the Gavin EE lol. But was happy to see it come back for a second life and play out a new course and happy to listen. But took a hiatus my self from listening due to a few other podcasts and only just now got back and finished the final 5 episodes. I just want to say, thank you to the crew, Barbara, guests, and RT for one of the best emotional/health podcast that I could have asked for. An to anyone reading, this is a definite must watch. An some references are dated but the discussions are rather timeless. 💚 Thank you.

Glad it’s back ❤️

I’m happy it’s back! Im a trucker that drives all the time and this podcast i listen too weekly too get through my early mornings of my shift. It’s a positive podcast, not toxic or drama. Great topics they bring too the table. Love Barbara personality and the guest on the show are great. I like that it’s diverse, open minded and represent women❤️. Its hard to find a good podcast too listen too that represents woman well and feel relatable.

I’m 28 year old female and this podcast fits well with my demographic. Give it a listen.
