  • Love this podcast

    I find that I leave this podcast always learning something. I listen to every episode. While I enjoy the levity and the silliness of this pairing, I always gain some kind of knowledge to deepen my practice. It’s really beautiful to see the deepening of their practices as well. as they move through life changes thrown at them, I’m able to find a piece to hold onto. Love love love!!

  • Wish it was just Bradshaw

    Giana is mean to Bradshaw, and her voice is painful. I’d have grace for her voice if she weren’t so harsh to Bradshaw, but she treats him like a toddler and it’s really uncomfortable to listen to.

  • Get to the good stuff!

    I’m a new teacher and like the teacher tips. However the latest (and many) episodes were about half banter about weddings and travel etc. Listeners should have to skip ahead 17 min to get to the content related to the title of the episode. Sad to unsubscribe.

  • my only con..

    don’t mean to be a hater, I don’t like writing negative reviews. Been listening for a long time but hearing G continue to patronize B is starting to bug me. The arrogance is off putting. some may call it sarcasm but I just think she’s mean. 🫢Other than that you guys are crushing it, I love the pod!
