It would be so nice if you’d link your guest’s books and thing they’re taking about in these episodes. You don’t give them enough exposure keeping us in the dark
First Seasons Had Family Secrets
I’m a listener since the beginning. The stories were mesmerizing. Last and current season are just people telling their life stories. We all have a story; not all are worth telling. If the stories are just stories, change the title of the podcast to: “We all have something to whine about”.
We need more honesty like this
I’m absolutely loving this podcast and how real & vulnerable your guest are being.
