  • Learned so much

    Of all the podcasts I’ve listened to over the years, I can safely say I’ve learned the most from this one. I’ve been introduced to so many incredible people thanks to this show. And almost without fail, Tami ends up asking exactly the questions (and follow ups) I would love to hear answered. Thank you for disseminating so many beautiful insights over the years!

  • Never downloaded or subscribed and cannot remove

    As above, your podcast appears in my library. I have no issue with your content and have never listened to it, but am not “spiritual” and do not understand why it has appeared or why I can’t remove this ghost episode that doesn’t even appear. It just shows as something downloaded which I haven’t done. Quite frustrating

  • Anti-trans guest

    Extremely disappointed you’re promoting the work/views of Lisa Marchiano, the author of a parenting book and various other articles and interviews against gender affirming care for young people. Do better! Gender affirming care saves lives.
