I saw a video pop up on my fyp by Ellie Ollivier, right after I saw that video i immediately listened to one of her episodes. I listened to how to get over someone, and wow!! Just with listening to one episode, I know that this podcast is going to be excellent. I’ve been trying to find podcasts that I can relate to and this one might just be it! I definitely will be listening more and weekly and I can’t wait to hear more! 🤍🤍🤍

Ellie's podcast may just be the single greatest thing EVER!!! I found her one day on TikTok so ling ago and still comment on everything. I listen to her getting ready, on my runs, in the car, at work, in the shower, literally anywhere you could think. I've made every single one of my friends listen because there truly is an episode for everyone!!

This podcast spoke to me out of all the others I’ve tried. It’s like they know exactly what I’m trying to improve and they know exactly what to say. I’ve listened to others all around and this one was by far the best. Thank you

Detwiler Bro · Feb 2026

ABSOLUTELY LOVE HOW REAL THIS PODCAST IS. usually i hate podcasts but i decided to give this a try and im so glad i did because my mind is blown. The advice, realness, and knowledge is beyond.

Teenage girl 😊 · Jan 2026

I was on board with until she recommended to distract yourself by flirting with or being around other guys. Why would you suggest that to your listeners, especially when they’re still young and impressionable? The last thing anyone needs is to fill a void with attention from men. Plus, it’d be even more messed up if you were flirting with a guy who genuinely likes you. No need to use people or string them along; that just screams emotional immaturity. It would’ve been better to say “make new friends” or “find people to share your hobbies with” and stick to that.
