  • Platforming Misinformation

    I was so disappointed when you had Paul Saladino on a recent episode that I had to unfollow. I was shocked that you would platform someone who spreads such dangerous health disinformation.

  • Changed my life

    Clutter and the excess of things have only put me in debt and stressed me out. I want to spend my time doing things that matter to me. Enjoy nature, read, walk and hang out with my loved one not clean and manage my things constantly. I am a writer myself and love the diverse vocabulary used by the host. These podcast had given me life advice, but also a community of like-minded individuals. Thank you guys for all you do!
