Teenage girl 😊 · Jan 2026

i love this podcast so much!! as a teen girl it’s nice to listen to this because she’s like an older sister !! she has amazing relatable advice and her voice is just so calming and kind and i just know she’s an amazing person irl !!

yaytkeidhwbrbfd · Dec 2025

coming out of a two year relationship i listened to how to get over someone. i always told myself if or when we broke up i would get over it and focus on myself and now that it is reality it is so difficult. i’ve been crying non stop every day and this podcast changed my point of view and perspective on the situation completely. i am going to do everything said in the podcast to be the best person i can be and realize that it was his loss and he is no longer in my life for a reason. thank you. i love your podcasts and needed that pick up😊😊

._._._._._.! · Aug 2025

I love the sense of humor that goes into the advice so it’s not just like a lecture from your parents or something. It feels like a pep talk from a friend💗 10/10 highly recommended
