  • Appreciate all the info

    Great info. In the hosts’ enthusiasm in the recent season on balance they often talk over each other and finish each others’ sentences. This becomes frustrating for the listener when it’s so constant!

    This is the best podcast for getting a robust understanding of the philosophy and practical application of the CM method!!! I’m so thankful for all the research that has gone into these episodes. I’ve listened to almost all of them and want to listen immediately when I see a new episode is available.
