Such an interesting interview with Teresa. Would have been better if Lael didn’t keep interjecting with her own story as it detracted from the interview.
This podcast makes me reflect on how I show up in the world, my values and the human experience.
I love the way Lael explores themes with her guests that we all experience. The conversations are deep but have a beautiful sense of lightness too.
Definitely what we need more of in the world.
Lael, this podcast is a blessing I didn’t know I needed.
I too have turned 50 and your stories are so relatable. Your guests are honest and venerable. The space you hold for people allows emotions to be raw and true.
You are a gift. Thank you.
Listened to the dr Garvey episode and he barely spoke. It was all about her and her family and her philosophy- just be quiet and allow your guests to speak
Lael is the most powerful interviewer. Her voice is angelic and she never cuts the speaker off. I love her patience, insights and calmness. Interviewees are incredible so far. I could listen to these all day on repeat. Can’t wait for more episodes!
