Customer Reviews
JVN is a national treasure
Jonathan is such a inspirational person. They have made a significant impact on my life with their beauty and ferocity! Jonathan has a true and beautiful spirit that brings me personal joy. I wish more people were as honest and truthful as Jonathan is willing to be. ❤️❤️
Grateful for JVN in my life!
I’m a very curious person and this podcast helps feed my hungry brain and the beauty tips have made my skin clear up. What more could you ask for? Oh…the joy that JVN brings to my drive to work from his silly antics are just the cherry on top. JVN just makes my heart happy!
JVN has OCD???
Hi!!!! I have ocd so I was so excited to hear JVN mention his first sign of OCD at 7:15 in the dolls episode - but then I googled this and I don’t see anything about JVN talking about having OCD. I can understand if he doesn’t want to be public about the diagnosis. It is a really misunderstood condition and I know JVN is a fantastic advocate for mental health so I’m disappointed if he was using OCD as a quip for a joke. OCD is much more than just keeping things arranged in a neat and tidy order. It can be debilitating.
