“I gave three stars because the first season is so good. By the last season, it really goes downhill. At some point this felt like a marital therapy session I accidentally walk in on.”

“1. The Rachel Hollis part was poorly researched - Rachel received TONS of backlash on her divorce because her and her husband had been charging people thousands and of dollars for marriage boot camps while theirs was privately falling apart. So, she was scamming people. Jane could and should have...”Read full review »

“I wanted to love this podcast but feel that throwing around the term “life coach” without doing your homework is doing a disservice to the many certified professional life coaches who aren’t culty or smarmy. Please look up ICF guidelines. Much of what is described in this episode as “life...”Read full review »

“This is a v stressful podcast. It really needs more trigger warnings, the hosts don’t seem to realize how traumatic it is to hear. Please add some trigger warnings.

“This show is just *chef’s kiss*. I literally took no interest in what an MLM even was until this podcast. Actually was shocked to learn that the essential oil brand that my fam uses when we want the house to smell like lavender is actually an MLM. Jane, your skepticism fuels me and I am actually...”Read full review »

“Jane has the right level of skepticism and curiosity to make this an outstanding look at MLMs, wellness businesses, and the coaching industry. I’m a coach myself but I have to admit that a lot of the tactics coaches use to bring in clients make me ill.
Provocative podcast with a variety of...”Read full review »

“Almost an unbearable amount of ads. The first season felt like actual journalism, the second season was bogged down with the hosts opinions. Would recommend the first season, but the underwhelming experience of the second season lead me to not even want to try the third season.”

“I’m trying to listen to season one again. Over half of the time given is for ads. The ads are tricky; it’s difficult to tell the difference between the ads and the actual podcast when trying to fast-forward. It seems to be going against what the entire first season is about.”
