- Amazing!!!!
I started listening to ALBC about 4 months ago after watching the Vow. I’ve now listened to every episode and loved just about every episode! Their voices are soothing, the subject is fascinating and they have so much empathy and depth with their interviews. I am so grateful for all that I’ve learned listening to this podcast.

I am listening to the back episodes. On this episode the episode they acted out a transcript of a conversation between Keith and another person on a walk. They were discussing branding and how it should be done. Terrifying. Sarah and Nippy were able to be strong and laugh about it. Left me with chills.
Apple Podcasts5Nagisa F.United Statesa month ago - So helpful and informative
Nippy and Sarah, along with their guests, are able to reveal the dynamics of culty situations, while staying light, human, kind, and thoughtful. As a survivor of a high control narcissistic relationship, I’ve found this podcast so helpful to make sense of what I went through, and for understanding what others experience. Thanks y’all.

I’ve listened to every episode of this podcast since the beginning. I think the best episodes are in the first 3 seasons.
I blame capitalism…everyone needs to make a living, but the ad breaks are getting ridiculous. Breaking every episode into 2 shorter episodes. Bringing folks on to promote their own work means they don’t want to “give things away” so the discussions are more superficial and less about actually learning from their experiences.
The politics of the hosts are starting to creep... more
