  • Disappointed you joined a new network

    I saw you joined the yap network and I’m so disappointed. The podcast network is known to cheat the charts and gaming the system with fake followers and fake likes just to look cool. You are better than that Morra. You don’t need to play games to get listeners. This seems to be something an anxious achiever would do out of fear and goes against everything I thought your show stood for!

  • Someone finally Gets me

    The suggestion of a friend had me searching for podcasts that covered topics like ADD, imposter syndrome and similar. This one immediately seemed to hit the mark. I picked 3 different episodes, and I’ve already gotten so much from them. I feel so many feelings knowing there are people who get me. Thank you to the host and producers of this podcast.

  • Episode Understanding Attachment Style

    I haven't listened to this pod much, but I really enjoyed this episode. It broke down the styles in an understandable way with examples that helped me determine my own attachment style. It was t what I thought it was! Although focused on the workplace, I can apply what I learned to my personal life as well. For many people, their identity is interwoven because of all the roles we have in our lives, so the information I learned can be used for these different roles.
