Entertaining podcast and has helped me with setting boundaries and feeling ok with not people pleasing. Sally, thank you for using your platform to speak up for medical common sense. We need it out here.
Subpar advice

I’ve liked this podcast in the past and it’s still ok sometimes. Lots of wedding questions. Brett said Banff is 30 minutes away from Vancouver so I wouldn’t suggest taking advice from him…

Love the pod, been here since day 1. Too political even if no politics are brought up. Sally can’t go without either talking politics, or saying “I won’t talk politics” then go on to give an extremely one sided skewed take…. More fun with Brett and Randy, things stay light until they have to get into things and they’re just so much more easy going

This pod is boring and lond winded. Half the questions are about weddings and bachelor parties. The woman has a monotone nasal tone thats awful
