Dear Headspace

you are therapist recommended 🙏

The mindfulness teachers offer some great wisdom and the show is expansive in its content. The host chooses some thought-provoking questions. The host distracts from the high quality advice/wisdom offered by the teachers as she continually makes the conversation about herself, her life, her journey every time. She’s a standup comedian. This isn’t her format because she is interested in an audience more than a conversation. The host weighs in a lot about her personal life and experience in a way that just feels like it occupies a lot of the space in the conversation without necessarily furthering it. Her constantly talking over the teachers is annoying. And rude. Why does this format need a host?

Thank you for making this show, Robin and the Teachers at Headspace. This show often grounds me and teaches me practical ways of applying meditation to everyday life. I wonder about the format of the show: having Robin interview the teachers creates a barrier between the voicemail and listener that might help keep a sense of flow but also block the listeners and callers from important ahah moments. I often wish the caller could respond to the teacher in real time. I also would love the show to invite callers to share their pronouns or only use "they" pronouns unless the caller specifies. That is just my personal preference, of course. Thank you all for your hard work and generous spirits!

I love this show! Robin brings great levity to the heavier topics, and all the teachers are so compassionate and wise, while also being funny and relatable! The whole experience makes me feel like I’m not alone in my struggles! Thank you so much, Headspace!
