  • Thank you

    I started listening to this podcast in January 2023 when I was in the midst of trying to decide whether or not to leave my job sooner rather than later. It was a really dark and challenging period, but this podcast was a bright light and beacon of hope. I tried to imagine what Vanessa would ask me and how I would respond. I felt great empathy and got great insights from those who so vulnerably shared their own stories. And then there was the laughter …which I hadn’t realized how much I needed. T... more

  • you guys are great

    this podcast (and all that came before it in the not sorry body of work) have helped keep me sane. i felt especially seen with the “quitting my comfortable relationship” episode, because it sums up pretty niftily how trying to date has gotten so unbearably icky, and how hopeless it feels to try and search for partnership while maintaining a modicum of self-worth. anyway. love you guys, keep it up.

  • Permission to Quit

    Listening to the opening episode of, “should I quit?” I actually got emotional, something that doesn’t happen often. I’m at a crossroads moment in my own life, as we all inevitably come to. But it’s more than that. This podcast has resonated at the deepest level for me, and made me at least start to be curious about why my moral compass has always insisted that endurance, perseverance, and commitment for the sake of it were so important. It’s made me wonder why quitting, which is actually a real... more

  • Mostly Good

    I love the concept of this show and think most of the episodes are pretty good and the advice is pretty good. I really did NOT like the “should I quit my best friends” episode. That girl was totally the issue, had zero self-reflection and a total victim complex, and the host completely enabled her. This girl needs professional help, her friends aren’t her stand in therapists. And they certainly were not the problem. My husband and I were listening to this together and were totally baffled by her... more
