- Must be running low on things to talk about
Long time fan, have listened to every episode. But lately these sisters are losing their touch. Last More Happier episode I could not even finish. Argued over grammar that no one cares about, then spit balled about lots of words with no research and no answers to their questions. Insufferable. Please get back to quality content over mindless chatter.

I’ve been listening regularly to this podcast for the last seven years and it has been nothing short of life-changing. The Four Tendencies and other easy-to-remember psychology lessons, Happiness Hacks, the “Treat yourself like” series, Clear The Decks episodes, and everything else. It’s brilliant AND relatable; there’s not very many podcasts out there like this!
