“This is a series of gossip chats as a form of entertainment.
Pretty much a collection of rumors and inferences to lead the listener to come to a predefined outcome. No different to a gossip column on famous Hollywood or royal people, just addressing same style to the wholistic...”Read full review »

“From someone who has been immersed in the spiritual and wellness world for two decades, listening to her mind is akin to taking the words directly from my mind. Only that her vernacular and trance inducing tonality more eloquently conveys them. Her cool interplay of words such as “I don’t want to...”Read full review »

“This podcast is excellent, and honestly, required listening for anyone who spends time online or follows self-help/spiritual influencers. It explains things that you see every day but don’t even know you’re seeing. It also gives clear language to the intuitive “why am I feeling this way,”...”Read full review »

“Katya knows where she stands and what she thinks about the issues she describes, but she isn’t opinionated. She’s always careful to make room for nuance, and to admit to her own limitations in assessing a given topic. At the same time, she’s not afraid to call out the abuses sadly so rife in the...”Read full review »

“Katya offers a much needed critical perspective in wellness realm. As a complex trauma survivor, I am esp. attuned to how survivors are often exploited by those looking to cash in $$$ as trauma is trending. How the Grift is Grifted is brilliant. Katya has a sharp tongue — I don’t always align w/...”Read full review »

“Katya attacked cult reporter Be Scofield and Conspirituality for not appearing on her podcast. She messaged them saying she was a huge fan and only a few weeks later published podcasts attacking them. She’s nuts and is knowingly publishing false information.”
