    Like the pod, but hearing Howie Mandel’s blaring voice in the middle of one of your sentences - as all the commercials do - is tough to listen to Thx!

  • On my always listen list

    I appreciate Melissa’s insights into behavior. I also very much value her willingness to educate around issues. Particularly, for me, sibling loss. I find Melissa balanced and fair. In addition to the podcasts she does on her own, she also has guests who are also insightful and entertaining.
