“I was led here by Annalisa’s column in The Guardian. Her responses are always insightful, sensitive and objective. The episode on the dynamics within sibling relationships was illuminating and I look forward to listening more. Top rated hug quality content, thank you Annalisa!”

“I really like the variety of this podcast and the different topics it covers. Annalisa also has a clever way of getting the most out of the guests and asking them questions in a way that is really probing. The only episode that this doesn’t apply to is the one about Narcissists. Nothing wrong...”Read full review »

The fact that it’s always different and “specialised” professionals to take on the subject of the day creates a rich variety of voices and approaches that makes it likelier for one to find insights, useful...”Read full review »

“Annalisa’s training as a journalist shines through this series but it’s the emotional heart she puts into it that draws the listener in. She inserts herself into the narrative as a listener rather than an author. Can’t recommend her approach and the learnings from it more highly.”
