  • So many ads!

    I’m sure the content of all of Dr. Leaf’s shows are great, but I can’t stand listening to the show. There are just as many ads as there is content and they pop up randomly. I understand the need to have a few ads so they can keep the show free, but it would be nice if there were only a few in the middle. They keep going on and on and it takes forever to get back to the content. I will be unfollowing the show.

  • MSW here!

    I love your high value content, keep up the good work! I wish people knew how much power they actually have over their own minds! It’s absolutely NOT a helpless or hopeless situation. Age does not mean one should give up. I believe in the healing power of Jesus & I love hearing how everything is connected.

  • improve editing please

    I’ve been following Dr. Leaf for many years and her information and delivery is extremely valuable and life-changing. The issue is not her or her information, the issue is poor editing on her podcast channel.

    Every time there is an important point to be made, it is cut off by poor editing; that is often at the point of adding in marketing ads.

    I Don’t mind the marketing ads. I do very much mind cutting off of a statement before the final important and critical Conclusion is completed. Dr. Leaf, ... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Am I a Narcissist? 4 Signs + Why Confidence Advice Is Backward
Q: Segment three, and here I'm going to answer a couple of your questions around the topics that I've actually covered today. So the first question, if you've been sitting on a business idea, Shopify is what I used to build my own storefront, and it removed every obstacle I expected to run into.
The host explains how Shopify made launching an online storefront easier, emphasizing smooth checkout and real-time purchases as confidence builders for a business idea.
Photographic Memory Is a Myth + Your Inner Critic Isn't the Enemy
Q: Why doesn't my self-worth shift after reading or therapy?
Awareness and insight alone aren't enough; you must complete the full five-phase neuro-cycle—prepare, become aware, reflect, reconstruct, and land action—to rewire and implement the changes in life.
"Mogging" Is Quietly Destroying Your Self-Worth + How to Rebuild It
Q: Why does self-worth feel so hard to build, but so easy to lose?
Because self-worth is a physical architecture wired into the mind-brain-body system, and it can be damaged by repeated negative signals; building it requires a deliberate, structured cognitive-neural process that aligns with reality rather than reacting emotionally to every input.
Why horror movies can be healing, breakups feel like drug withdrawal, & attachment styles can be dangerous
Q: Is unconditional love real, or is it a self-help ideal to stay in bad situations?
Unconditional love is described as a fundamental human drive and wiring, though it should not be used to excuse staying in harmful situations; healthy love involves authentic care and boundaries.
Why horror movies can be healing, breakups feel like drug withdrawal, & attachment styles can be dangerous
Q: What is your opinion of attachment styles?
Attachment styles are a useful starting point but not a fixed description of a person; they can be explored in depth, but neuroplasticity allows changing how past attachments influence future relationships.
