I’m Dr. Abby Medcalf, psychologist, best-selling author, TEDx speaker, and (according to my kids) the bossy Jewish mom you didn’t know you needed. With decades of experience and millions of listeners in over 180 countries, I give you the no-... more

Abby is full of research. Tried and true advice. She says it like it is and I love that. She has opened my eyes to a better way to live and love. Wish I had found her sooner, but life happens to us not for us.
We listened to a few podcasts and unfortunately in our opinion it takes so long to get to the actual points of discussion. In one case, it took 7 minutes in a 58 min podcast to start talking about first point only to be told that requires a separate podcast on its own. By the time we got to actually content it was about 15 minutes in. Your experience may be different but not for us.
Thank you Abby! You have changed my life, my marriage and my relationships for the better. Pls keep doing the great work you do! I’ve gifted your book to so many people. Love you
This podcast is so motivational. I love hearing new ways to think about situations I find myself in. It’s definitely made me a more happy positive person. Thank you, Abby.
I’ve been listening to Abby’s podcasts for a couple of months and it’s an emotional health lifesaver. I was really stressed out and filled with anxiety over relationship issues for a few years. I feel much calmer now. I’m learning to set boundaries. It’s hard work but well worth it. At times I’m overwhelmed with all the options she provides as resources, but I’m learning how to navigate through it. Thank you Abby!
