  • Pointless and boring

    I was expecting something themed around personal development but just sounds like the stupid conversations friends have that no one else needs to hear

  • Wow - 10/10

    The way I cried listening to Tully talk about not being able to ask for help - I have never heard of hyper independence before but I feel like she was describing me while speaking about herself.

    Tully is always so open and honest and such a beautiful soul and I think she has paired up with the right person, on the right platform and I can’t wait for their voices to be heard globally. keep doing what your doing ladies 🤍

  • I hope it gets better

    Trying to do too much. Too many gimmicky segments with no depth. Just surface level topics with no substance.

Baby on Board? The Myth of Being 'Ready'.

Tully expresses that it's a 'when', not an 'if', emphasizing her desire to have kids but acknowledging the timing and details are still a work in progress.
Baby on Board? The Myth of Being 'Ready'.
Q: Maggie, did you feel ready when you got pregnant with Minty?
Maggie reveals she didn't feel ready, as it was a quick conception during a chaotic time in her life compounded by COVID lockdowns.
Better Late Than Never (ADHD at 37)
Q: Can you maybe tell us, though, because I think we're all pretty aware at this point with masking, as say, an autistic person. As an ADHD person though, what are masking behaviors that you were doing?
I would keep my tears and I'd try and swallow them back or blink them away. I thought that it was silly to be that emotional.
The Self-Improvement Epidemic
Q: What do you think causes the self-punishment related to self-improvement?
It starts as empowerment but quickly turns into pressure to optimize every aspect of your life.
The Self-Improvement Epidemic
Q: Why do you think self-improvement is such a big focus for you?
It gives a false sense of being proactive, especially for those with mental health struggles.
