Customer Reviews
My new go to Podcast
Love listening to the content on this podcast! Each episode is so relatable and informative. It’s refreshing to hear people’s stories and experiences, as it puts my own into perspective. It’s my new go to when I get ready in the morning! Looking forward to more episodes!
Listen for realness!
Mariyeah’s podcast is honestly the first podcast I have ever listened to, and I still listen to! I am currently catching up on episodes. The further I go into listening into these conversations and the REALNESS of them makes me appreciate how others view dating today. Mariyeah and her guests highlight their past and current experiences, and I tend to find myself relating in so many ways! I can envision myself sitting in the room with them and participating in the convos. This podcast encourages me to learn more about myself and what I want in dating. I look forward to the next episode every single time. I thank all the guests who openly shared their lived experiences because of the safe space Mariyeah creates. Sending love to my spin instructor!<3
RAW and OPEN experiences WORTH hearing!
The podcast, in my eyes, is the best in its field when creating a raw and open space to talk about very uncomfortable material dealing with relationships for ALL people. It’s universal, and surrounds its guest with the chances to educate while being guided by the host Mariya. Through and through it’s the best part of my routine when doing mindless tasks!
