  • Important Messages Clouded by Hate

    I very much wanted to like this podcast. A lot of the topics are poignant and could create much needed change/conversation around women’s health and bodies. However, it was difficult for me to follow the conversation when the discussion is marred by the host and her guests making hateful and frankly very angry remarks throughout many of the episodes. It’s more than possible to share this information while refraining from attacking other humans. A total shame that such an opportunity to convey a ... more

    “He who knows only his side of the case, knows little of that.”—Some old, dead, white guy.

    Seriously folks, if you consider yourself an open-minded person, one of the best ways to show that is to actually understand the arguments of the other side. The ideas discussed in this podcast do not get enough attention in our world, and Isabella does a lovely job of letting her guests speak while also asking insightful questions. If I could give it six stars, I would.

  • Important and insightful podcast

    I thank Isabella for giving me the information I needed to get off hormonal birth control and waking up to living fully again - connecting with my body and not disconnecting from it.

    The ideological trolls who hate sex realists (aka “hateful transphobes”) and Israel - leaving nasty comments - just show up themselves, not Isabella and her amazing work.

  • Invaluable podcast

    It is very hard to find thorough information about ideas which run counter culture in our modern world. This podcast provides an in depth view into issues which concern women in our era in a way which is thought provoking, challenging and courageous. I’ve listened to almost every episode and was able to develop my critical thinking skills about major current issues by simply having exposure to

    fearless, intelligent takes on matters that, well, matter. Thank you and keep going!

  • Thank you,

    Thank you Isabella for always fighting for women, no matter the backlash and hate you may have received throughout the years both personally and professionally. Since listening to your podcast a few years back, I have had the pleasure of naturally home birthing two boys, and you have given me such strength and conviction to establish truth in our home. Language matters. Definition definitions matter. And what are children’s see with their own eyes matters. Thank you!
