the Psychiatrist Next Door

The best podcast I have heard. An amazing story of the abuse of power. The longevity of a toxic relationship is heartbreaking. An MD who steals 30 years of a patients life.

Best podcast for dealing with feelings

Great podcast that tackles tough subjects in an approachable and meaningful way. Definitely makes you feel like you’re just hanging out with funny friends, but getting into the real parts of dealing with what life throws at you.

Amazing group of gals!

This trio is the real deal - they are so funny and yet so honest and real, you really just want to have them over for pizza and beers to keep the conversation going. They're such a testament to teh power of friendship to get each other, and so many others, through tough times. Gotta love them!!!
