- Much needed conversation starter
As a psychologist but first and foremost a human being, I love how Maddie and Jason bring sensitivity to such important, unspoken about topics. They aren’t afraid to ask difficult questions but do so in a powerful and endearing way that allows for conversation both within the podcast, and outside of it

Both Maddie and Jason's synchrony is pulsating. A podcast that should be mainstream. A podcast that humanises pain, something you don't see very often. Will share accross friends and family willing to listen.
