So happy you’re back. Love and need your sage advice. I recommend you guys to everyone. I need your new book! Need to learn how to deal with tempers, temperament, negativity, electronics.....
So grateful to hear real people talking honestly, and with nothing to sell, in ways that really help.
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’!

It’s fun to hear their engaged banter with each other and with their guests- respectful, thoughtful and super positive- ambassadors for a Better world!
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.
I am a huge fan of these podcasts. John and Julie cover so many interesting topics with a style that is all their own. From the very serious to Icelandic travel, all are informative and thought provoking. A great way to start your day!
