  • Love the pod

    Love the pod. Love their conversations. They are very cozy and relaxing. Kind of like having relative in the background while I do my things. They do touch current affairs but keep it light which I like so I can maintain my morals and spirits up.

  • Not as helpful as Undue Anxiety :(

    I wanted to like this ‘better’ but unfortunately I got a lot more out of Dr. Duffy’s Undue Anxiety podcast.

  • Helpful and inspiring

    As a recent college grad who was struggling with the job hunt, i started getting real down on myself. I’ve listened to almost every episode of the podcast and just the positive attitudes and the intelligence insights from the Duffy’s helped lift my spirits. I’ve started using their insights in my life to help me and others feel ‘better’!

  • great podcast!

    Dr. Duffy strikes a balance of crucial advice and engaging stories on how to navigate our anxiety and our world. The podcast is refreshingly varied from episode to episode, sometimes related to current events and other times host to insightful guests with stories that are sometimes serious, sometimes more playful, but always a must-listen.
