  • A haven!

    You can't have enough reminders about how deeply important it is to live a real life. There is still so much toxic wellness out there and this podcast identifies what really matters when it comes to building a life that is as healthy on the inside as it is on the outside.

  • Still One of my favorites!

    I have been listening to the Whole View for a very long time—many years to be more exact. I was disappointed when Sarah left the show, but actually, I am enjoying the show even more now that Stacy has taken over the reins. She has a wide variety of topics which are always well researched. It is always fun listening to this podcast each week, and if you are lucky, sometimes there will be a bonus episode! Keep up the good work, and keep digging for all of the science-backed, evidence-based resea... more

    I was in the middle of the Candida episode which I was LOVING! With the guy speaker she brought on. He was nailing it. Teaching me things I didn’t even think to try about my own candida journey. That supplements may make it worse, that once it’s an overgrowth you may be past the main candida and gave me a list of the muster types of it to look in to. Totally nailing it that GMO foods, toxic vaccine ingredients we’re feeding the problem. And the podcast host cut him right off in the middle of his... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Don't Let Them: Why Speaking Up Creates Stronger Relationships
Q: Do you have some examples of that?
Tonya explains practical dialogue frames that begin with observable events, move to personal interpretation, share feelings, and end with a clear need, all phrased to reduce defensiveness and promote collaboration.
What Does It Mean to Be a Young Woman Right Now?
Q: What was it like turning those observations into something of value for others, and how did you approach the interviews?
I approached interviews with curiosity, researching interviewees' backgrounds, while recognizing that behind every curated image there are real lives and stories that can inspire others to act with authenticity.
What Does It Mean to Be a Young Woman Right Now?
Q: What have been the biggest lessons learned through this process, especially during lockdown and the conversations you had with women?
The biggest lesson is that social media often hides struggles behind highlights, and true growth comes from acknowledging those challenges, which also helps normalize the difficulties many people face.
Refugees Aren’t a Burden: The Stories We’re Not Being Told
Q: Can you tell listeners a little bit about your background and how this came to be kind of a passion project of yours?
Dalton describes his transition from the corporate/venture world into refugee-focused work, including his Harvard research, founding foundations, and how his focus evolved into conscious capitalism that supports refugees and their communities.
Are Women Burned Out…or Just Asked to Carry Too Much?
Q: What would you say is the kernel, the nugget, the advice you would give to someone starting today?
The guidance is to pick one low-resistance health habit to start with, track its immediate benefits, and build from there; the idea is to create momentum through small, sustainable steps rather than trying to overhaul everything at once.
