A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

What a gorgeous aural delight the January 1, 2025, episode is. I thoroughly enjoyed it, from hearing this famous Irish folk song I didn’t know about to learning about the moon phases and tides this month to learning about this ear fungus. This episode brought calm to me this morning & has given me ideas about how to start my new year with intention and hope.

I love this woman’s voice. When I wake in the middle of the night and can’t go back to sleep, this podcast is magic. Her voice, her accent, the content- perfection.

I look forward to welcoming every new month as it comes with these episodes! Each one feels like a pleasant pause, connecting me to the earth and our seasons in the most refreshing way.

JordanLindscey · Apr 2024

I cannot express how much I now look forward to the first of the month so I can listen to another lovely episode of this podcast. This podcast is the auditory equivalent of a cozy sweater, cup of tea, or hug from my child.
