  • Deeply insightful, thought-provoking content

    This podcast may not resonate with everyone, but for those who relate to the experience of emotional intensity, both internally and within the world, it’s incredibly validating, thought-provoking and even lifechanging. Imi Lo’s expertise and passion comes through in her own content as well as interviews with guests. I wouldn’t change a thing.

  • Potential

    This could be a really good podcasts given the topics, insights and guests.

Sometimes their relation to what the guest is saying is a little odd and doesn’t speak to what their guest is talking ab... more

I immediately grabbed my headphones so I could completely immerse myself in the wisdom and revelations you wrote in your essays. (Reading on a computer screen can not rep... more

  • Great audio essays, poor interviews

    I love the audio essays, very informative and validating. The interviews are difficult to listen to, the host could be better at listening and allowing her guests to speak.
