Margaret has so many insights and the ability to convey complex mental health issues in a way that is easy to understand. She also just brings so much warmth and compassion to her episodes. A great podcast to listen to if you are looking to learn or make positive changes in your life.

I cane across this podcast and it has been a blessing. Dr. Margaret covers tough, current issues with compassion and empathy. She is soothing while also providing useful and actionable information. The length of the episodes is perfect and accessible for even the busiest individual.

Still have no idea what “Lucky Girl Syndrome” is, but thanks for trying. Maybe just ask your guest more directly: “Please define Lucky Girl Syndrome is.” Did enjoy this episode overall but guest was a bit erratic.

I just listened to it. In my humble opinion it was absolutely one of the best talks I have heard. And I’m including every single TED & TEDx talk that I’ve ever listened to.

I’ve heard raving reviews about this podcast, so I was so excited to listen. I can’t remember which episode this was but one episode in particular about “what really makes you happy” left me a little unsettled.

I used to really enjoy this podcast. However I dislike the multiple advertisements spread throughout the podcast. I feel that it ruins the flow of the conversation.

Week after week, Self -Work topics speak to me. Dr Margaret had such a gentle and kind delivery of the messages I need to hear. She discusses everyday issues and what to do about it. I have written in a few times and she always takes the time to respond so genuine. Thank you Dr Margaret!

I do love listening to this podcast because it helps me feel more “normal” in my depression, anxiety, trauma etc. I’m 41 yrs old and I recognize that something is not right with me, but I bottle it up and shove it away! Thanks for sharing your experiences and help!

Dr. Margaret’s warm, soothing voice alone makes this podcast worth listening too. I’m a Psychologist myself but at an earlier stage of my career; listening to Dr. M feels is as therapeutic as it is educational for me. So glad I found her.
