Entertaining and Theraputic
What a great combination of entertainment and therapy. Kim and Jacob’s guests and topics are interesting and inspiring. So enjoyable just to listen to their interviews but I feel like I’m learning something that I can apply to my own life too.
Incredibly insightful!
Incredibly insightful subject matter. This podcast has helped me think in a much deeper way by being able to learn from others and how they have made certain decisions in their lives. Would absolutely recommend!
Moving and Practical
I am officially hooked. This podcast is hilarious and captivating while being inspiring, moving, and impactful. I’ve never been to a therapist but feel this show is providing a form of therapy. The stories shared and the topics they dig into has pushed me to better understand myself and my spouse. The encouragement is also just what the doctor ordered. “It’s hard, but it’s possible”. Thank you for sharing!
