  • Great advice

    I’m a therapist myself and have run a podcast for 10 years. Dr. Yvette’s advice is always solid, kind and compassionate. Her insight into the questions underneath the stated question is so wise. Her podcast has personally helped me through a difficult time in my life. The sound quality and production is also high. I highly recommend it.
