Sarah always has such great topics to discuss and I love how dives right in. I love the podcast she did with Jamie about Step Moms. I felt like I was able to get some great tips and I felt heard when so often I feel misunderstood or lonely. Authenticity is what makes this podcast so good. Thank you Sarah!
Love the pod!

I love the content and your guests. I look forward to Mondays every week. One quick note: I’d love to hear guests talk without interruption. I’m a little distracted as you’re agreeing with them as they’re talking. In normal conversation, that’s totally natural! However, on this type of media those disruptions take you out of the moment.

Why does she talk over all her guests? Why does she talk about herself instead of showing interest in her guests? She really thinks she’s the most interesting person in the world. Meanwhile she’s very annoying and quite boring. No thanks.
Can we leave negative stars?

Girly you did not lose 10k followers bc you opened up about mental health. You lost those followers because people are starting to see right through you. You’re trying to monetize and use mental health for content and people are over it.
