  • Please drop the vigana...

    Mostly OK podcast, and then we hear the vigana bla bla...odours... its sooooo... offputing.

    I will never recomend this podcast to a frend even with a great guest because of the uncouth advertisment...

    You need to separate your own personal product not sutable for a podcast promotion from what is can be a good podcast. Or use anothet way of exprecising it. like a personal hygine products.

  • Unqualified, Full of ED Triggers

    The host is completely unqualified and giving medical, dietary and beauty advice. She clearly practices disordered eating herself and shares this information with her listeners - and cloaks it in Chinese medicine! My final straw was the most recent episode where this 90 pound woman who works out six times a week and practices restrictive eating, admitted to taking GLP-1s!! I’m disgusted and appalled. I’m deleting this show from my library.

  • Leaves me craving more depth

    What I love about the show is that SJH made TCM and feng shui approachable for the lay person. I also find the Chinese culture education fascinating. On the flip side, I dislike that I am left craving more depth in the conversations. Overall, I’ve recommended to friends and will likely continue to tune in!

  • So Good!

    Mind your Manners is literally my favorite podcast. I can’t even recall how I stumbled upon Sara Jane but I’m so glad that I did. I enjoy the guest speakers and Kelsey is awesome! All of the topics are informative, interesting and perfectly delivered. As a newbie to TCM, I love to listen to new topics and soak in all the information. Please keep up the great work! I look forward to listening to every new episode.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

You Are Not Your Thoughts – with Master Shi Heng Yi
Q: What does it mean to not be your thoughts?
It means observing thoughts without getting hooked, creating distance between the self and the mental content, and recognizing that thoughts are temporary appearances.
You Are Not Your Thoughts – with Master Shi Heng Yi
Q: Where do thoughts come from and where do they go?
They arise from nowhere, pass through the mind, and disappear; the focus should be on where they originate rather than on trying to control or follow them.
How Feng Shui Can Calm the Chaos in Your Life Right Now – with Marie Diamond
Q: What role do pets or plants play in Feng Shui for a positive home energy?
Pets generally uplift energy because they are responsive and bring joy, though zodiac signs can influence compatibility; plants should be alive and rounded, avoiding spiky or dead specimens to maintain vitality.
How Feng Shui Can Calm the Chaos in Your Life Right Now – with Marie Diamond
Q: Is clutter always bad, and how does it affect our brain and mood?
Clutter creates more yin energy and can lower concentration, elevate stress, and hinder creativity; decluttering moves brainwaves from beta to alpha, improving focus and happiness.
How Feng Shui Can Calm the Chaos in Your Life Right Now – with Marie Diamond
Q: Marie, what are the first practical steps someone can take to calm a space in a fire-energy year?
Start by grounding the space with fresh air, sunlight, and natural scents; declutter key zones like the entrance and the bedroom; and then use simple cleansing rituals such as lavender mist or sea salt to shift vibration.
