Customer Reviews
Enlightening, comforting and relatable
This podcast and its hosts have been so helpful with my personal growth and healing! I’ve been working on healing from CPTSD. Sadly, I’ve struggled to find a therapist who is remotely helpful, so I’ve been helping myself with videos, books and podcasts like this one. This podcast usefully addresses topics that have bothered me for such a long time such as rejection, ghosting, addiction, people pleasing and more. It has helped me to realize that, despite what I might think, I am not alone with these fears and painful experiences. I love that Barb and Michelle candidly talk about their experiences with such topics, making what they say much more relatable than certain teachers who put themselves on pedestals. I honestly feel like they care about helping others with what they share. Thank you to you both and keep up the good work!!!
Best podcast 😍
I love these two I have gotten so much from their podcasts and their voices are so calming , love them !!!! Great subject matter also
Barb knows best
I’ve learned more about myself and the feelings I have in a situation by listening to Barbara and Michelle. They are great together and are empowering us in respecting others while having boundaries for ourselves. I don’t communicate well when I’m upset and they teach us to pause and take a moment before reacting to negative interaction. Thank you both for doing what you do and loving each other, it’s a blessing to join you weekly🫶🏼
