What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I have followed Kelly on social media for years, but I somehow just recently learned of her podcast. I recently lost my dad, and these stories, especially about Bob, hit close to home. It’s so refreshing and validating to listen to this open space of people talking about something everyone will endure at some point. I adore Kelly and I have enjoyed every episode so far. The addition of comfort food and recipes is also such a cool idea!

So glad you had Hospice Nurse Julie on the podcast. I wish I would have had this information when my mother was dying in 2020. She had dementia and we were shocked when she went into the hospital and they told us to contact hospice. We brought her home with hospice and she died in 5 weeks. She experienced so many of the things Julia spoke about. I tried learning as much as possible online as hospice isn’t there all the time. It made me less afraid to know what to expect. Can’t wait to read Julie’s book.

The episodes in the podcast that I have listened to so far have truly tugged at the heartstrings. I just started today with the episode with John Mayer and a few others. I can't wait to listen to the others. Kelly and her guests make you feel comfortable talking about all things life and even some difficult subjects that might not be easy to talk about. I also love learning about her guest's GO TO Comfort Food and the crew (amazing job to them too ) always bring out that comfort food for them to enjoy during the podcast!! Thank you Kelly for your time in doing the podcast and Thanks for the little comfort recipes you leave us with in the end!! You are a huge hug to the heart!!

I recently started listening to this after remembering Kelly was coming out with a podcast. I listen in the car and it never misses. The talks are honest, meaningful, and make me feel more comfortable talking about all things life, death, mourning a loved one, and anything in between. Coming from someone with high anxiety and fears, this podcast helps me keep a level head. Kelly has a very soothing voice and it never gets annoying to listen to. Definitely recommend.
