- I love this podcast
I typically struggle to listen to podcasts because most podcasters lull me to sleep with their superficial and rehearsed topics.
Laura and Virginia make me feel like I’m hanging out with really knowledgeable friends who entertain and inform, which is hard to find in a podcast.
I love their crazy personal stories and how they know so much, but aren’t know-it-alls. You go girls!

Laura and Virginia have very eclectic tastes in so many areas and I love how well read and intelligent both of these women are. I’ve learned about Greek mythology, the pointlessness of boyfriends, and many psychological conditions that I am probably developing as I write. These two give each other grief in the way that only sisters can, but there is always warmth behind it. Way to go and keep it coming!

Audible5dcpodcasterUnited States5 months ago- My Sister’s A Therapist, like vegan hot cocoa for the soul.
I’ve been listening to this podcast for over a year now and tonight I heard the Forgiveness episode while chopping vegetables; it felt like I was listening to family catching up while I made dinner. I got some great insights and I felt less alone. Exactly what we need in these dark times. Thank you Laura and Virginia!
