- Love this, but the soundtrack makes me cringe every single time
I’m so sorry, I love the podcast, have listened to all of the episodes, but I have to say this. The intro song goes way too hard Ne-Yo Usher vibe, not fitting to the content in my opinion. I’m sorry again but i can’t get over it haha

Netherlandsa month ago - Just starting but I can’t with her cutting this guest off
On the first episode.. I’m going to skip ahead because I know people improve as podcasters but can anyone tell me if she stops interrupting her guests and trying to tell their story? I wanted this podcast to be my next new thing but I hope this improves.

Thank you for creating this podcast. I have learned so much. Chell you do a great job interviewing and creating such a safe space. This podcast through so many of its episodes has helped with my healing and challenged me to look at things. I realized that some things I thought were healed really weren’t.
