New Material Please

I’ve been listening to this podcast for over a year and really like the tips and the conciseness of the material. However, it’s late September of 2023, and I’m still hearing about how we are “6 months into a pandemic” or in the midst of one. Please produce some new material for post-pandemic or that at least no longer mentions it.

Half ads, half show

I wanted to like this podcast, but all of the ads at the beginning and end of the show had me wondering what I’d actually just listened to. You know it’s bad when half of the total playtime is just annoying ads. Nope. Not worth my time then.

My favorite podcast

Before Breakfast is my favorite podcast! I have been listening for over 5 years. Each episode is a nice reminder of one little step that can be taken to bring more order to one’s life. Laura’s tips are practical, easy to implement and the info is always presented in a non-judgemental way. Thank you Laura!
