A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Kimberly is an amazing interviewer and I love hearing her thoughts on a myriad of issues. She’s extremely knowledgable in areas of womanhood, trauma, and health. She isn’t afraid to have a controversial opinion and I appreciate that! I’ve learned so much from her and she’s changed my life for the better. Thank you Kimberly for making this podcast and all the work you do.

I have listened to every episode, some of them more than once! I have received something from each one of them. I love the dialogue and exploration. I am inspired by Kimberly’s genuine curiosity and ability to question and co create with her guests.

Amana BeLove · Feb 2023

Kimberly is the only podcast I listen too regularly. She is wise, compassionate and sees things with a brilliant perspective. Her guests are always incredibly knowledgeable with teachings that are so valuable to all humans. This is one of the few revolutionary podcasts that is NOT completely far fetched, disrespectful, steeped in white privilege or too heady to even follow. She is genuine, inclusive and her ideas matter. I appreciate you and your work so much Kimberly!

Trillium ND · Sep 2022

Amazing podcast! Kimberly and her guests are so generous with the information provided. The show makes you feel so comfortable like a conversation with a friend.

Episode 188 is interesting…and then she talks about her daughter near the end. It changed the whole way I viewed the podcast and I won’t continue. She gaslights her teenage daughter on the podcast, sharing things without her daughter’s expressed consent. The content does not add to the episode in anyway, and does not feel necessary. If nothing else, it feels like whining about young people. She seems to demonize psychologists, then she walks her statement back a little, but not much. It’s truly odd. Combine that with other little moments in the show that struck me as narrowminded or dogmatic. She goes on to talk about elders, while I think that’s a really important conversation to be had she has it in the most unhinged way. I won’t be listening to any more episodes. The host was rambling and a poor interviewer. On the other hand, the guest, Sophie Strand, was articulate and clear.

2020 election episode was trash. In the quest for progressive change through discourse, sometimes progressives get lost and fail to realize the ‘catch 22’ of the ideas they push. Like socialism. Or identity politics. While social climate and politics isn’t the focus of this podcast, it comes up every now and again. I appreciate Kimberly keeping it focused and brief, at least. When she does focus on her expertise in sex-motherhood-sex, she’s spot on in the money & is high quality info worth subscribing to!
