  • I wanted to like it...

    I couldn't get over how much the host is CONSTANTLY saying "mmmm" and "mmhmmm" every other second, while her guests speak. It honestly irked me to the point, I couldn't bother listening to more than a few episodes. I'm bummed, because the content is great and I enjoyed the takeaways from the episodes I listened to, but I just can't stomach hearing her interject with mouth noises, as it adds nothing, but distraction. :/

  • A Breezy But Super Thoughtful Podcast

    A cut of this podcast came up on my IG algorithm and I’ve never been more glad to get fed new content. I was instantly charmed to Hope and laughed enough at the clip to seek out this podcast in its entirety. The episodes are highly insightful and fun and would be accessible to any woman, in any phase of her dating life!

  • NOT about SOBER BOYS

    NOT at ALL about sober boys.

    Found this and thought “hey that’s for me”.

    NOPE. FOOLED.

    It’s just

    WOMEN talking about THEMSELVES!!!

    Crazy. TERRIBLE name choice. Confusing for good, honest sober boys. Outrageous and reckless use of naming conventions.

    4/5 overall.

    Good topics not too segment heavy and solid editing and pace with great insight and not too many ads.

The Problem with People Pleasing (with psychotherapist Meg Josephson)
Q: But for people who haven't really cracked this book open yet, can you walk everybody through like the big four, like fawning, like that whole conversation, give us the rundown?
Meg explains the four responses to threat—fight, flight, freeze, and faun (fawn)—and emphasizes that the faun response, common among women, involves trying to appease and be liked, which can be reinforced by social rewards and early conditioning, but becomes detrimental when practiced constantly.
