What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Just listened to an episode for the first time, episode 216 with John Gray. Found it extremely interesting!! Specifically the biological/hormonal explanation of behaviors. As a lesbian, I would love to hear from someone who has expertise in working with non-heterosexual couples to touch on the biological/hormonal topics within these types of couples (personally, lesbian couples). It would be fascinating to hear about achieving that balance between two women (or men)!

I am not a clinician or coach, but I’ve learned a lot from this podcast. I’ve been working in individual therapy on developing a more supportive. compassionate relationship with myself, and this podcast has provided new frameworks for understanding how I show up in different relationships in my life. Thank you!

Very relatable and understanding sessions. Love listening to sessions while on my morning walks helps me navigate my daily emotions with my partner and family. Inspiring content.
