I look forward to each new episode and have enjoyed listening to the various family secrets shared. I too have been rocked by finding out I'm at the center of a family secret, and listening to this podcast has been comforting. It's giving me strength to speak my truth because secrecy and shame are so damaging. The commercials are annoying though
Waaay too many commercials ruins the podcast. Was not always this way. Over time more and more added. Would be five stars but with this over load of of hyped, fast-speaking ads it is a three star. Not worth it to listen anymore.
I accidentally stumbled upon this podcast and found myself binge listening. I’ve felt every emotion possible, and enjoyed each episode. Thanks for an outstanding, thought provoking, interesting show!!
This episode was so compelling and authentic. It resonated with me as a human being who is a hospice nurse. As a daughter and sister Jane’s need to get her room cleaned and set right I see myself. Bravo! Thank you Dani.
Interesting and sad how hard Molly is working to convince herself her and her husband’s sexual immorality is a good thing. In speaking of her husband’s affairs: “Sparks some jealousy.” “Give me some attention.” “Used to be like maybe a 4 hour conversation that involved a lot of my crying.” It’s easy to see pain is there. Molly’s written a book and agreed to this podcast most likely to justify what she’s doing is okay. Dani’s soft and gentle background music was used to make Molly’s story seem light and pretty and morally acceptable. She should have used thunderstorms.
Purely writing this review because of the the latest episode about an open marriage. I don’t think people want to hear about a woman abandoning her kids and looking for pleasure. There’s a lot of people here who were on the other end of that. The kids end. Seeing their mother leave them in pursuit of better things, as if they weren’t good enough. Terrible episode and I am so disappointed in it that I needed to write this review. Most other episodes are healing and helpful to people who experienced terrible things in their life, but this is the opposite.
