love this podcast! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
amazing
I love them so much but sometimes I feel they fake it the sound records made it worse to me, Idk if I'm the only one but that's how I really feel... Note: This is not a hate comment
I'm one of the people that has listened to the podcast since the beginning. About two years ago I got really tired of Kristen having an identity crisis and Jolenta constantly complaining about her dad and her PE teacher. I gave the show a bad review and hate listened for another year. The show has improved so much since then, it's amazing. Jolenta has had so much personal growth since she started having her health problems, and Kristen is so much stronger and grounded over the past year. I have started to enjoy the podcast in a way that I haven't experienced since the first season. At the end of the episode I was actually annoyed at the people who were saying that the show used to be better and it sucks now. I'm just glad that I stuck it out because they're back to making some quality content.
The kid was right - how do you think white people came to America?
this episode won't play for me, says there is a broken source code 🤷
Interesting show/podcast. But explain time stamp 38:32_38:39 regarding Asian people in the Civil Rights movement you are referring to specifically. Again Interesting show.
Bush is back, BAEBEE!
This is just an ad, no message!
Thankful for this podcast. I get a lot of recommendations for self help books and this one popped up on Instagram from a small business owner. Doesn’t seem like it’s for me.
kinda misses the point on a lot of steps. when you were assuming the guy was playing candy crush in the intersection you were still assuming
Thank you for doing this. This was a courageous, moral move on your part, and it must have been incredibly difficult for you.
Whenever i listen to your podcasts, it randomly stops sometimes. i'm listening to it thru Castbox with an android phone. i love the podcasts by the way and i live in North Dakota!
I'm excited for it!
I do like this podcast, but I cannot stand how they change their voices to these weird, vocal fry voices anytime they are talking about themselves. like saying things in a fake voice makes it easier to say things that are uncomfortable. Maybe just use your real voice more?
Dungeons and Dragons is much healthier than Real Housewives. In D&D the people whose lives are destroyed aren't real. I love playing D&D because I can act like a totally different person and try out different aspects of my personality within a safe space. I once played an antisocial, highly aggressive character and it was freeing. I'm usually very quiet and accommodating. I got to try out getting in characters' faces. It helped me learn how to stand up for myself in the real world by play acting in the game.
One of the things I love about this podcast is you read books that embrace values or viewpoints that differ from yours, Kristin and Jolinta (spelling?). Yet you approach them with an open mind. Awesome. And there are a bunch of other things I love too.
