Melissa, I genuinely appreciate your openness and your vulnerability on the highly sensitive topic pf racism. I happen to be a black woman married to a White male. I have an ‘inside story’ in some respects and my husband and I share perspectives and have grown together on this topic. White people...Read full review »

I’ve enjoyed and learned from every episode that I have listened to. Melissa has introduced me to several interesting and instructive people who I now follow on other platforms. I’ve never done Whole 30, but believe Melissa does a lot of important and authentic work that I get great benefit from...Read full review »

Love Melissa’s podcasts, looking forward to hearing more!

I don’t care to be lectured by an admitted racist. I like the Whole30 and lifestyle stuff, but the politics are cringey.
JohnSutter via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/02/21
I find the layout of the podcast to have a very comfortable flow. They are always so informative yet easy for me to follow! Love them!

If you want to alienate half your audience, keep talking politics. I don’t want to hear about your white shame or your political view. You’re a dietician, so stick to talking about what you actually know something about.

I’m new to this podcast but keep coming back for another episode.The information Melissa shares is relevant to me and her delivery is thoughtful and useful. Thank you Melissa.

Melissa has helped me learn about so many different things; I greatly appreciate her vulnerability and honesty. I listen to some episodes multiple times, which is maybe the highest compliment I can give! Would recommend. <3

Melissa tried too hard to be on trend with every flavor of the month progressive agenda. She’s insincere and seems to always wear the identity of who she thinks her audience wants to see instead of who she actually is, whoever that is.

So great. I love to listen to it on my daily walks.
cknavarro via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/26/20
I absolutely love this podcast! I often send them to people I know. She’s raw and honest about everything. The topics she speaks about are so relevant to life and give me a great perspective on things. And how to accomplish hard things in life with a kindness and hard edge I like.
momlatte via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/06/20
Melissa’s voice is so soothing. I love her approach on issues and how she tackles habits and overcoming challenges in your life. And she doesn’t shy away from the tough issues and goes through them with grace.

Melissa has the best energy!! She offers insightful advice and information that is helpful to anyone that listens! This is a must listen!!
Marisa J2 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/01/20
It would be great if she could stick to whole 30 related commentary...I really don’t care what her political views are.

I just wanted to say thank you for your hiking episodes. Thanks to them, I decided to give hiking a try again after many years. I live close to the Laurel Highlands in Pennsylvania and there are so many beautiful trails to try. I went on my first real hike on Sunday and it was great!! I’d love...Read full review »

I love this podcast and was so sad when Melissa had to take a break (though 100% understood). As a behavior analyst, so many of these episodes have hints to the science of behavior. Melissa is a rockstar in discussing hard topics in a way that anyone could understand and relate. Although MU is...Read full review »

I appreciate the amount of work that likely goes into selecting the topics - which are great! - procuring the guests, and editing/curating these podcasts. Also, I’m frustrated by the lack of genuine curiosity on the part of the host toward those guests. Rather than letting the guests convey their...Read full review »

I enjoy listening to Do The Thing podcast. Melissa does an amazing job with the conversation she has with her guests. If I can take one thing from each episode, it is worth my time. Thank you for the hard work that goes into making this podcast.s
JM_SB via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/02/20
I used to love Melissa. Her honesty and confidence mixed with earnestness made her seem approachable. Now she just seems arrogant. Her tough love “drinking your coffee IS NOT HARD” narrative is so tired and out of touch. She’s a rich, White woman who tries so hard to speak to women by calling on...Read full review »

Loved the cold shower episode!
fhitref via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/24/20
I love this podcast! My favorite episode is Habit Level: Atomic with James Clear. I sent it to everyone I know and included it in my “Top 5 favorite self improvement podcasts” blog post on my blog, mindfuljeannie.com. Thanks for putting all of this out there, Melissa!
Jeannie 1204 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/16/20
I listen to Melissa on my morning run and her podcast never fails to give me a little boost in spirit and drive for the day. Her voice is genuine and her topics advocate for humanity from the most heartfelt standpoint. I feel like I’m part of the conversation while listening to the podcast. So...Read full review »

Every episode is so informative and I learn so much that the time flies. I don’t know which one is my favorite. All the ones I had listened too inspired me to keep learning more and gave me tools to better my life and myself in a lot of different aspects of my life. Thank you Melissa Urban 🙏🏼
Flavia Niemeyer via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/15/20
I like the concept of this episode “how I bomb proofed my self confidence”. I want to give this a go, but not clear on a few things perhaps because I’m a list person and would love some more info on what it looked it when you did the self review exercise. Did you do a list with columns or just...Read full review »
Christa😊 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/16/20
Totally real information and a variety of content. none of the lame over talking on top of guest. Your podcast is gold and I get super excited when I see new episodes. Thank you thank you thank you!

When this show first launched I thought to myself there’s another podcast! I had no interest in listening but then there was a first I was interested and ended up listen to the whole series in a day. I really enjoy the topics they select and I like that they provide ways to practice what they are...Read full review »

Looking to change up my normal podcasts, I came across "Do the Thing" while I was on a recent trip. First of all, thank you for what you do, how you say it, and the true honesty and inspiration in all your various topics. Literally, it was just what I needed to hear. I've been binging...Read full review »

Weird that Melissa (she/her) does not appear to understand that her (see?) tendentious pronoun signaling is tediously redundant
Bro Scientist via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/22/20
I enjoy when she has guests on the show who offer opinions and viewpoints unlike my own. I strive to be a well-rounded person and though I may not agree with it all, I can respect the perspectives. Nedra and James are awesome!
young_worker_bee via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/17/20
Currently my favorite podcast. I get so much out of each episode and some I have listened to twice. Recently, The aHow Not to Drink episode was great! I wish I had this wisdom 3 years ago when a dry January turned into a lifestyle! Highly recommend Melissa Urban!
Spiritedcook via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/02/20
Even if you’re not into the Whole30 there’s so much here to inspire and inform. I sure do like Melissa Urban and she’s bringing in fantastic guests. Highly recommend the conversation with Jessamyn Stanley in particular.

I love how Melissa is super straight to the point and doesn’t hide what’s convenient for her. I want to get to her mindset and appreciation of her body someday. ❤️❤️
MariCorre79 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/16/20
I have enjoyed all of Melissa’s podcasts and episode 29 is amongst her best. It spoke to me. So grateful for the subjects you choose to speak about. Thank you ❤️

“Do The Thing” hits it out of the ball park. Thank you Melissa and Team for all the interesting and relevant conversations. Take a listen to get your daily inspiration, but not in a shallow way like, “just try a little harder and it’ll all work out” inspiration. There are few creators as...Read full review »

Whole30 has changed my life for the better, so I was thrilled to see Melissa had a podcast of her own! I’ve found it to be practical, useful, inspiring and informative! It is going on my regular podcast rotation! Thank you for inspiring me to change my life for the better Melissa!
Philip Moser via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/28/19
Love this! Except when there are religious references on the podcast, this is a great tool for making important changes in your life!
B. Haahr via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/19/19
Just listened to the Making Social Media a Happy Place episode. Everyone can benefit from hearing Melissa’s experiences and recommendations she’s developed from them. It’s like a amazing cheat sheet for using social media in a healthy way!

I love that this podcast is entertaining but also life enriching.

Just listened to the episode “How I Bomb-Proofed My Self Confidence” and holy cow what a game changer. I’m very into self help and self growth, but have never heard about doing a self review before. Already from listening having major ah-has about my appearance and need for external validation....Read full review »

I don’t know why listening to this made me feel so uncomfortable. She sounds so scripted and forced, like someone trying to sound “authentic”. I can’t connect with all the corny ads too. Was looking forward to this podcast. I’ll check back later :-/
