I used to really like this podcast, and I do think it is very valuable, but lately Heather has been really putting on a “voice” that feels disingenuous. Almost like she is trying to do some spoken word thing. And in the newest episode, as an example, the first 10 or so minutes were all just her reading compliments about herself. It’s unnecessary and really has been turning me off, which is unfortunate. Hoping she takes this feedback and is just more real moving forward.
