  • What happened?

    I use to absolutely love this pod. Never missed an episode. But they’ve completely lost their way. The pod is far less captivating than it use to be, the stories featured are redundant, lack relatability, or are just simply not what originally drew me to this pod. As of late, I’ve completely stopped listening. I’ve tried tuning in and end up turning it off. The last two seasons were truly disappointing.

  • Back to the old

    Not loving the stories this season. Too science/behavior focused. I love the old seasons about breakups and dating, stories that felt more relatable to the average listener and love letters reader. Meredith is a great interviewer and story teller but the themes could be better.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

It's Scary Out There
Q: Did you look back and say, wait, there have been a million horror film red flags here?
Yes, I did. I realized that the room that I had walked into was all facade and probably rotting underneath.
Shroom With A View
Q: What did you know about psilocybin when you first started looking into the possibility of this?
I really didn't know much. Like, I had tried a very small dose at a concert once with friends, and it was a very mild experience.
Roll With It
Q: Can people really change?
Yes, often our bodies and experiences evolve significantly, which was the case for Eileen during her journey through paramenopause and dating after divorce.
A Spoonful Of Sugar
Q: What role does self-compassion play in the process of change?
Self-compassion is vital as it helps individuals forgive themselves for setbacks and maintains a growth mindset, promoting resilience.
A Spoonful Of Sugar
Q: How much can we expect other people to change with us?
It's easier to promote change in others when they are receptive, and using tools like tandem goals can help in achieving this.
