  • Mix of inspirational “girl-boss energy” and science

    I enjoy this podcast- filled with lots of good science. Sometimes I find the inspiration corny, but sometimes it’s needed. The guests are mostly interesting (a highlight was Kacee, the therapist).

    My one annoyance is how salesy she is for her 30 for 30 group facilitation, bonus podcasts and other things, but I also understand the podcast is free and she needs to make her money somehow.

(Love her laugh, too)

    Just counted… I’ve listened to 84 episodes in the last 3 months (!!!), plus bought the behind the scenes episodes (which I binged in a day). I have taken helpful nuggets from each and am doing some o... more
