“I used to love this podcast, and sometimes still do, it’s helped me a lot with my self development and I’ve learned about a lot of new topics wouldn’t have otherwise. Some of the guests are so inspiring and I do like listening to Krista and Lindsay’s journeys.
BUT it feels like every episode is filled with sneaky consumerism. Not even the ads, which I understand to fund the show. It’s more than every guest launched newest life changing supplement or is selling an expensive course. I find it hard to trust K + L’s recommendations when it seems unrealistic that they actually take and love all these supplements. I often feel a lot of pressure to buy things after listening to the podcast, especially if I’m not feeling great and want to feel better. It makes me question the authenticity of the advice and why they bring who they do on the show. Especially with it being a spiritual podcast, I come here learn and improve myself, not to fall into influencer culture and overconsumption.
I also wish they vetted their guests more, for example, I did a quick search of Dr. Taz after listening to her episode and she has some really awful reviews from her patients, it’s just concerning because that was so easy to find on Google.”
