I’ve been listening to this since the beginning, like 2017 or ‘18. Nora has become so vapid, it’s hard to listen to what this has become. She loves the smell of her own farts.
Thanks Nora. Love your episodes and the therapy you provide of all of those living with our wounds wide open.
I love your podcast!! I’m 68, and love the reminder-“eyes on your own paper”!!
Love the mix of deep dives and conversational shows - Nora thank you for always being genuine and warm. It’s such a cozy listen, even the rare episode that makes me salty! LOL
Dear Nora and team,
Just heard the story about the adventuress who moved to a new state w the useless bois-friend and successfully escaped that situation.
If she can pull that off at 22, she can take over the world by my age, 60-plus.
She just needs to acknowledge that she is a superstar, and go out and do whatever she wants!
I wish she were my friend, but I live in Canada.
Maybe plan to come visit.
