“I’m all for holding space, let me just preface. I’m a counselor in training and a current preschool teacher. I hold space all day. That being said, Rachel’s incessant recounting of less than desirable occurrences in her life is difficult to listen to. Podcasts are an educational or entertaining platform. Her podcast used to be SO relatable. I was a die hard fan, like wake up early excited on Friday mornings to listen in. And now I shut them off after 5 minutes of listening to her say how hard whatever it is that she’s moving through is. It’s not relatable anymore. There’s no lesson to learn at the end. It’s more like “ugh thank you guys for listening, here’s to feeling our feelings!” without any wisdom or resolution. It’s ok to not have the answers. But I would suggest saving these long winded explanations on why you feel so terrible for therapy or intimate conversations. That’s not for sharing on podcasts with millions of strangers.”
