What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I was fortunate enough to interview Chelsea on my own show and she brought the same energy, Witt and knowledge she does to her own show. This show is a must listen for women navigating a variety of life challenges who want real answers not just regurgitated “best practices”. Love the show Chelsea 💕

SharleneLee · Jul 2026

I found Chelsea through Sharlene’s podcast. And WHAT A BREATH OF FRESH AIR! The first episode I listened to was re OZEMPIC* cuz I was curious. I have heard friends raving about these GLP1 shots and how “great” they are.. but I have always believed that lifestyle change is the only true long term fix for any issue. I was so happy to hear her straight fwd talk. She’s well read, educated, witty- and clearly walks the talk! I’m really looking fwd to more content. Thanks for the honest healthy advice and resources. I will share with others so this podcast stays visible!

Pilotswife94 · Nov 2025

Have laughed out loud multiple times reflecting on unhealthy habits from college and dating anecdotes which I relate to so hard. Chelsea is so real and relatable, and her advice truly works! I also love that the episodes are not too long and each subject is in digestible chunks. Perfect for all of us type-A overachievers trying to fit in a listen with all the other things we’re juggling ;)
