  • True life advice

    I binged this podcast for months leading up to our wedding. Every episode is packed with advice that we actually used and helped make our day almost completely stress-free! It’s perfect to listen at the gym or on a run. Great sense of humor too! Love it.

  • Your volume is too low

    I would love to listen to more of your podcast, the ads are full volume and fine, but then the podcast starts and even on max volume in my car I can barely hear it. It’s a huge bummer. Please make the volume louder.
