“Dani Shapiro created an outstanding podcast going into the depths of what is hiding and working in many family systems. Her understanding shows a deep humanity. Hopefully, she Ms. Shapiro can produce more episodes or podcasts.”

“I am loving this podcast so much. Thank you for healing me through sharing so many family secrets. I have family secrets of my own and am writing a book about it. Someday I would like to be on this podcast sharing my family secrets and my book. It is an important goal I hope to achieve.”

“This is an amazing podcast sensitively and intelligently delivered. But omg the adverts. Jarring, no consideration for the audience’s experience. A lot of people listen to podcasts in bed, so suddenly having to hear some brash awful ad about Tori Spelling is a real downer. But the content is 5...”Read full review »

“Data Baby? Boo hoo. Your college educated parents signed you up for a longitudinal study and you think you were victimized? You are clueless. Why don’t you go spend some time in an elementary school and see what actual problems kids face. Longitudinal studies aren’t one of them. Go find a real...”Read full review »

“I’m a listener since the beginning. The stories were mesmerizing. Last and current season are just people telling their life stories. We all have a story; not all are worth telling. If the stories are just stories, change the title of the podcast to: “We all have something to whine about”.”

“Interesting and sad how hard Molly is working to convince herself her and her husband’s sexual immorality is a good thing. In speaking of her husband’s affairs: “Sparks some jealousy.” “Give me some attention.” “Used to be like maybe a 4 hour conversation that involved a lot of my crying.” It’s...”Read full review »

“Purely writing this review because of the the latest episode about an open marriage. I don’t think people want to hear about a woman abandoning her kids and looking for pleasure. There’s a lot of people here who were on the other end of that. The kids end. Seeing their mother leave them in...”Read full review »

“Season 10 ep 2
What I have to say is WOW this is the best one I have heard since I’ve been listening to this podcast, I think it was a great love story and all he went through and at the end he married a woman that cared for him since the beginning also.
I think there should be more like this one.”

The host seems like a very caring person and also good at untangling emotions.
The four stars is because I cannot actually listen to the podcast because the host has a lisp and it drives...”Read full review »

“I’ve listened for a couple years now, but I’m crying “Uncle.” It seems every episode is the same: some unknown person writes their memoir about their traumatic childhood with their big, huge “secret” and never gets over it so they “write a memoir.” I can’t listen anymore to the same old story. ...”Read full review »

“Thank you for this podcast. I’ve found it really helpful to know that many families have secrets. I found out I was adopted by my stepfather when I was nine. However I always knew something was wrong. There is a lot of lies tied to this one big huge lie.
I enjoy listening to the podcast even...”Read full review »

“This is an excellent and engrossing podcast. The only reason I don’t give it 5/5 stars is because it does such a poor job of promoting the work of the guests who come on and share the most intimate details of their lives. Most of the guests have authored memoirs. Dani Shapiro will state the full...”Read full review »

“In your latest podcast, who was at fault, who died, no answers provided and I listened for over 1 hour. Yes, I know the subject is about family secrets, but she never knew what happened and neither do the listeners, ultimately.”

“The interview with Mikel Jollett was one of best “Family Secrets” episodes. My heart goes out to him and I appreciate the way he told his story with love, humor, and honesty. So glad he is in a good place with his own family-i bet a lot of hard inner work to get to that place. Really appreciate...”Read full review »
