  • Been hooked ever since

    Just listened to the latest episode with Ezee so I had to tell you that I’ve been listening to Shan ever since Ezee was on your show way way back. I’m a fan of hers and had never heard of Shan back then but after that episode I was hooked ever since. Love your advice, insights and the way you speak to your guest. Side note the filmed versions are always quality too who ever does the videography and editing definitely has the eye.

  • Love the open conversation!

    I’m a new listener but as a 38 year old woman this is an amazing lifeline to understand myself and relationships. I just finished the episode with Dr. Jolene Brighten - it’s a must listen to episode.

  • Shan is a Natural

    Shan‘s podcast truly feels like a conversation on the couch with my homegirl. She has a very natural and curious way of asking questions that allow her guest to show who they are. They can show how they think through their emotions and think through their connections and advocate for themselves in their loving relationships. As a person with a podcast, Shan is truly aspirational in her tact and flow, but more than anything how genuine her curiosity and care feel.
