  • What did you pay for your face?

    Leigh Campbell is very knowledgeable and a generous person with her information and online replies to questions about skin care, fashion, good buys,sales etc. The amount of online criticism on podcast comments and Instagram comments is disgraceful.

  • Get help

    Madeleine West doesn’t need a podcast- she needs therapy and a lot of it- but I guess this is just another example of Mia Freedman promoting, giving platform and a microphone to white rich women in Sydney. What a load of rubbish!!!

  • Bold & Brave!

    Love MW and her Podcast. She’s a natural and full of heart. If you know a single thing about Madeleine (obviously most don’t as they refer her to as “the host”) you’d know she’s nothing but real, raw and honest.

    So much hate from women that should building others up not tearing them down!

    Keep doing you Madeleine and doing exactly what makes you happy!! ♥️

  • Crappy to say the least..

    As an outlouder fan I couldn’t wait to start listening to this podcast.

    A few episodes in I thought ‘oh god here we go… how many times are we going to hear the I have six kids line?’

    I soldiered on and kept listening to each episode praying it would get better.. It didn’t.

    Not worth the airtime 👎👎👎
