While scrolling through your site I came upon your podcast on Immature Adults (2025). It could have been an insightful and informative session for your listeners. However, I found your interview with Jess Miller to be rather pedantic and insulting to one’s intelligence. The smug, snickering laughter at the beginning of the podcast from both of you was highly unprofessional. Jess Miller’s childish mimicking of someone’s behavior later in the podcast was appalling.
I suggest you both give that pod... more
I found this podcast while I’m looking for more information on some things I discussed with my therapist and the topics are easy to search through and I’ve found something to help me understand and expand on a lot of things I’m working on in my own personal journey
i started listening from episode 1. i stopped listening at the 07/21/2020 episode. emma mcadam had the nerve to say life is getting better for everyone. i have never heard any whiter bs. in the middle of a pandemic shutdown. i am so glad i wasn’t listening to this racist gaslighting in 2020. if you identify with white bs, you’ll love this podcast. for me, it’s zero stars but because i have here’s one star.
Hooked after ONE episode. Such a breath of fresh air. Thank you for this podcast.
Authentic expert help. She is very likable. Thank you for helping me

A practical, psychology-forward show that distills therapy techniques, mental health research, and real-life strategies into concise, actionable guidance.
