I love this podcast so much. Never fails to put me in a better mood. Heather is genuinely so funny and relatable at the same time. 10/10 recommend!! I especially love the solo episodes!

Made the mistake of listening to this at the gym…almost dropped weights on myself multiple times from laughter.
Frustrated-Flyer · Dec 2024
Laughing the whole way through, and pausing on occasion because I don’t want the episode to end. What else can I say, this woman is as funny as my bestie who lives 1000 miles away and she gives me life🖤
undomestic_mom · Oct 2024
Refreshing, hilarious unfiltered commentary on life! So fun to listen to someone who tells it like it is! The kind of woman I want to have a beer with in the middle of the day on a Tuesday, then go thrifting just to try on retro clothes and catwalk out of the dressing room laughing so hard we wished we had on depends.

I’ve been the biggest fan and supporter forever! Went to shows, bought the merch, listened to the podcast. But I feel like Heather has just become someone different. It’s okay to have different beliefs, but you don’t need to call someone who didn’t vote the same as you uneducated or a woman hater. It’s really divisive. We came to you for giggles. Your IVF is not being taken away, no one’s rights are being taken away. Stop spreading lies and go back to being funny! We all miss the old Heather
