  • Absolutely loved the Daniel Levitin interview

    This is always a fantastic podcast.

    I especially loved the episode with Daniel Levitin on Music as Medicine.

    Full of wonderful information, backed by science and I loved the humour. Thank you Julia, you have such a beautiful interviewing style and it’s so wonderful that we get to witness your skill as a psychologist in these shows. Your daughters too.

  • Very Grateful For Therapy Works!

    I've been following Julia Samuel since reading her books & listening to them too. Now I get to learn more and enjoy the friendly nature of these conversations with her daughters too. Just loved the recent episode with Julie Smith .. and the poignant one (reality check) via Julia's recovery from her accident & illness. Keeping it real with humour too. Thank you all
