What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

This podcast, hands down, was the thing that took me to the next level in my healing journey during COVID. I like to tell people it took me from Beth 1.0 to Beth 2.0. I am happy to say I have been working hard on Beth 3.0 over the past 6 months and feel Beth 4.0 right around the corner.

Beth 9141 · Feb 2026

I really enjoy how Michelle focuses on what it truly means to become an adult and how that shows up in everyday life. The way she compares the adult self to the adolescent and inner-child “chairs” is thoughtful and easy to understand. I love hearing the different reactions and perspectives she explores in each episode. Her process makes so much sense to me, and every time I listen, I gain more clarity about the kind of adult I want to be and how I want to show up in the world.

Holly-NYC · Jan 2026

I am in my mid fifties and about two years from retirement with a 20yo daughter in college. I listen to self improvement, leadership and retirement podcasts. The adult chair is easy to listen and so diverse in the advice provided. I look forward to each episode

Scott n AK · May 2025

I had so many defenses and limiting beliefs. Michelle’s teachings freed me. Now I can be my authentic self more and more everyday. And I love Jenny Jansen my adult chair master life coach! She helped me work through so much emotional baggage. Lighter. Freer. More me. Everyday.

Mama Bear Ann · Nov 2024

This podcast has some great mental health conversations. I don’t want to discount the work Michelle does in general. However, as a trained clinical psychologist, I always raised an eyebrow to the occasional “pseudoscience” type of topics. But, most of them seemed at least adjacent and could have placebo effects. What pushed me over the edge was the “scalar energy” interview with Tom Paladino. A simple search shows that he is a religious con man. The notion of his being able to “cure depression” by shining a homemade device onto photographs is, for lack of a better word, ridiculous. Another simple inquiry about physics will explain what scalar energy actually means, instead of what Tom had packaged it as. I worry that such guests & content would harm vulnerable people who are desperate in seeking help. We should not give people like him a platform to further their damaging agendas. Unsubscribing now, and I hope Michelle can avoid being sucked into these “health scams” on future interviews.

I was totally in on the Adult Chair and paid to attend her events but this podcast has come really to the point where I can't listen. Two main issues that clearly no one is telling her. First- it's not always about Michelle. I promise that in every podcast she will find a way to talk about her son, Blake, or her marriage, or her this, or her that. Please- stop making every podcast about yourself. I get that it's your podcast but you're up against people like Mel Robbins who are able to share just enough and don't share the same tired stories in every episode. Second, stop with the constant ads. It's super annoying how you make us think that your ads are part of the show with your guest. You sound like a desperate salesman always pushing things during your podcast. I get that you have to have ads, then have them and tell people we are going to have a word from our advertisers. I doubt she'll read or listen to this and she'll probably only listen to what she wants to hear and in the meantime, we've stopped listening. So: try to do one show- just one without mentioning your son or husband. I doubt you can. And go easy on the ads. Put them at the beginning, middle, and end, not throughout. It makes you sound desperate.
