Customer Reviews
By far my favorite podcast!!
Joshua, Ryan and TK are awesome! This is a very well prepared show - does not waste my time. Yet at the same time it feels spontaneous. I thought I was pretty good at minimalizing before coming into contact with them — but they have allowed me to take it to a whole new level. Fantastic job — I always look forward to what they have to say on Mondays!
Changed my life
As my life was falling apart, these guys brought me back to real. I have my life somewhat together (well, who has it all together?). And it was all thanks to these guys.
Wanted lo like this more.
Sorry but was really hoping you'd get to the deeper, "grey" areas of the issue of toxic positivity. I just felt you played around it, but didn't dive too deeply into it. Also the issue was not seen from a variety of angles so really felt uninformed, though idea of how class can play into it was interesting. I might try another episode at some point, but am hesitant.
