Worth a try, but not the greatest of all time

Overall helpful little tidbits - the host is a well rounded individual with a comforting, insightful tone. The podcast as a whole however is rather one-dimensional and gives a vibe that it’s directed at people who have “meaningful” 9-5 jobs that they dislike - which isn’t necessarily reflective of where I’m at, but then again maybe it wasn’t meant for me. I also didn’t know that the episodes would loop - I think at the point of writing they’re on their third upload cycle? So definitely not necessary to be subscribed because if you listen to more than one meditation pod, the deja vu hits hard.
Rosie is the Best!!!

I love this podcast. While it’s certainly not a miracle cure, I love that it addresses all the issues I face regularly and does so with compassion and thoughtfulness. I’ve not found any other podcast that does this as consistently.
