Excellent Podcast

Recently came across the One You Feed podcast and love it! Each episode has quality content! Really appreciated your conversation with Greg Kretch. Didn't know anything about Japanese therapy and learned so much! This is an amazing episode that really resonated with me. The 3 questions to ask yourself about relationships was so good! Tons of amazing takeaways.

Please stop advertising for Starbucks

I love your show, but am disappointed that you are advertising for Starbucks, which is an awful company. Please research the companies you advertise & how they interact with the world & their employees.

Amazing podcast

I had this podcast stored in my library for quite a while before I listened to it and finally listened to my first episode and am totally hooked! Eric is such a wonderful interviewer and the guests have been so helpful for me at this time in my life. I’m also a recovering addict and my husband is in a rehab facility as I write this review starting his journey to recovery and I’ve just gained so much from this podcast. Thank you so much for everything you do Eric and please keep them coming!
