For goin’ DEEP ! We LOVE you Tami ! (and thanks for all your guests, who help us … love ourselves !!)
Great show!
Many years of listening to amazing conversation between Tami and a roster of incredible individuals, and no episode has ever hit me deeper than this one. I feel seen.
Used to enjoy this show a bit, but some of the content lately has been really promoting pseudoscience (telepathic Suzy Miller). I find it concerning. My recommendation is to be picky with which episodes you listen to.
Tami is simply the best interviewer, who chooses the most interesting and varied people to interview. Her podcast is invaluable, the smartest and best of its class. Guests are not preachy for the most part, but authentically experienced individuals with gems to share. We love you, Tami! Thank you for your offerings.
