  • Katiej7
    Life changing! Literally free therapy
    The subjects are always relevant, their friendship is amazing and hilarious. I’m constantly listening more than once and taking notes. I can’t praise the pod enough. THANK YOU both for what you’re doing. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    ContraManipulation
    That’s what I heard even after rewinding it twice and re-listening.
  • Mary Stewart Porter
    Stopped me in my tracks
    A girlfriend introduced me to this podcast on a whim. I chose an episode at random about a topic I thought I was well versed in - attachment styles. And I was blown away with the insights and warmth they shared. Many times I felt their comments resonate so deeply inside me it brought me to tears. Very much forward to listening to the rest of the episodes! Thank you!!

    The only pod that makes me feel SEEN
    Isn’t it ironic that I feel more “seen” through this audio podcast than through any other form of media? These two women offer insightful commentary on topics that have emotional pull in all types of relationships: work, romantic, platonic. I’ve had so many ah-ha moments and mini breakthroughs while listening. It’s like being on the therapist chaise — minus the bill at the end! Thank you, Elizabeth + Emma. Bravo!
  • Luz-y-Traducciones
    Personal, honest and helpful
    I love to hear these two best friends talking about several topics. I feel like being inside the therapist office learning from their loving interaction ♥️! They have helped me think about my interactions with my best friends 😃.

    Great pod
    So fun to listen to these two besties! Interesting topics!
  • cats by the lake
    It’s like they know me
    The tone of their conversation is light and familiar (clearly they’re best friends) but it never degrades into mindless dribble. I subscribed to be able to understand what my adult daughter goes through day to day, but I’m thrilled at the insight it’s giving me about my own life and mental health. I’m not exaggerating when I say this is a life changing podcast.

    Games episode hit home!
    Dating in my early 30s…ugh. The games episode really broke down for me why rejection and silly power plays make you feel the way you do! Emma had such helpful analogies and metaphors and I resonated with the inner child in the driving seat. Thanks ladies!
