Margaret and Amy are so good at having conversations about topics that I think about all the time in a way that helps me feel seen, while still learning. Also I don’t leave listening to an episode feeling overwhelmed or heavy. Such a great podcast!

Apple Podcasts5Emily_M_BUnited States2 months ago - Could u stop using “like” too much sorry
I really enjoy this podcast — the content is great and the conversations are engaging. That said, I wish the hosts would use “like” a bit less. It can be a little distracting at times. Still, definitely worth a listen!
