I love this podcast. As someone on a deep exploratory journey with medicines, I’m getting so much from hearing about others journeys. These brave people and the skillful host are making a difference in my life. I hope new episodes are coming as they are so well done.
An expansion of awareness and empathy

Every episode is worthwhile

This podcast is so thoughtful and full of care. It gives the gift of heightened awareness to phenomena that most people would never be able to learn about without a trusted guide, like this podcast. All of the episodes are worth listening to, and I greatly appreciated the variety of voices. The most surprising effect of listening to this podcast is what I would call an expansion in my capacity for empathy. Hearing all of the different stories and experiences in these interviews really opened my eyes and heart, and newly illuminated the world for me.
So helpful

Could feel so much care and upholding of the dignity of all the interviewees. Appreciated how the host held the complexity of folks having been both abused and abusive. Thank you for your work
