- Used to love, Amazon support put me off
I used to love to use this podcast to motivate and life hacks. It has become increasingly filled with ads. The most egregious was Amazon AI health - not only the exploitation of their workers but to support this further expanding with healthcare and AI.

Apple Podcasts5BLGnNCUnited States2 months ago - Entertaining and informative
Gretchen’s books / podcasts have been life changing for me. From simple tweaks or larger projects to improve my happiness, to understanding that I am a questioner which has fundamentally changed the way I look at life. I love the easy conversation between the two sisters. I do wish Gretchen would stop saying ‘fun’ so much though. It sounds ‘American insincere’ to a Brit!
