  • Misleading title

    Wow. I've listened to about five episodes now, and I'm honestly done.

    I wanted to give this podcast a fair chance, but I found the advice to be psychologically unhealthy and unsafe. There seems to be a consistent message that women should suppress their own needs and feelings to "honor" their husbands.

    The verbal abuse episode really crossed the line for me. A wife shared that her husband screamed at her, told her she didn't matter, and told her to "shut the bleep up" after she expressed conce... more

  • Laura’s “disclaimer” is a lie - DANGEROUS ADVICE for abusive relationships

    DOES NOT WORK for abusive relationships, no matter what Laura says. In fact, the way she doubles down on the statement that "the skills" can save even abusive relationships is dangerous and irresponsible.

    I believe Laura is good intentioned and means well. But to tell someone who is trapped in a trauma bond, married to a narcissist, dealing with coercive control, suffering emotional or physical abuse, that all they have to do is "duct tape" their mouth shut and do whatever their husband says, ... more

  • changed back to five stars

    Update:

    Yay! The solo shorter episodes are back! I’m changing my review back to five stars. These are the episodes that I get the most out of. Thank you!

    I used to rate this 5 stars. But there doesn’t seem to be many “teaching” episodes anymore. I’m not as fond of the longer interview style ones. At least if you do an interview, begin it with a few minutes of teaching again like you used to. I got a lot more out of those ones.

  • Hope

    I’m so thankful I found this podcast! Listening has really helped me to see that the only person I can change in any relationship is me, and it has genuinely helped me in all of my relationships. My hopeless feelings vanish when I listen to these women share their stories. Thank you so much to Laura Doyle for making these stories available.
