Customer Reviews
Ariel the super brain
You really are funny and genuine. I have same thing you have with analyzing everything from every angle. It makes us high functioning in areas we love and want to get good at but it can hinder us when we go down the wormhole and find answers without going to the source when possible. The way you spitball the podcast from just reminder notes of topics is the best. You really do need to be nice to yourself in your bad times. Forgive yourself love yourself be yourself and build the self confidence ive seen when your on stage. Are you writing? Performing? Loved Vomit emoji nickname. Delete all garbage people in your phone and in your life. A lot of the time being alone and lonely is better than being with trash people. Go to the movies, go to the pinball hall of fame, do graffiti,flip over a cop car, your in LA weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, the worlds your oyster! Missed you glad you’re backkkkkkkk. Muaaaaaaa Cris
Insightful Exploration of Family Psychos
Loved listening to Ariel spilling the tea on a family psychotic member(s). Ariel's storytelling skills shine through in her podcast. Her insights are authentic, and she does not sugarcoat her views.
Open and Honest.
I’ve been following Ariel on Instagram for a few years now and she’s always been one of my favorite comedians due to her ability to be honest about her life. As someone who lives with anxiety, depression, etc. it feels good to be able to relate with a podcast and a person to show that I’m not alone. Thank you Ariel!
