Customer Reviews
Engaging discussions!
Barb and Michelle always come up with intriguing topics that are both relatable and interesting. I appreciate the insights they share about experience from their own lives and lessons learned that we can all apply to our own lives. Thanks!
Thank you
For your work, Michelle and Barb, I thank you! Real talk, insight and vulnerability, I find relief listening to your podcast. Keep it up please!
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!!!
