  • I miss the original content 🫶🏼

    UPDATE: Please stop with the coaching sessions as regular content. Space it out sure, but it is getting really old back-to-back. The last one with Melissa was so boring and can’t get into the latest one with Shelly. I’ve stopped listening now which is a shame. It used to be good.

  • I miss the original content 🫶🏼

    I started tuning in a year ago. I like Stephanie’s approach and the range of topics she covers. The view into her coaching with the two recent clients has been helpful, but dragging them out (1 session into 2 episodes each) and with 2 people back to back has gotten stale. It would have been better to move one of the clients to a different month vs. back to back.

    I will get back into the podcast when the regular content resumes. Nothing against the host or her clients (they are great), but I mis... more
