“I didn’t know how badly I needed this episode until I heard it. ‘What if You Saw the Black Mask of Death’ (10/1/24) is the powerful and compelling account of emotional resilience and healing from complex trauma from someone who fought hard against her inner narratives - and nearly succumbed to...”Read full review »

“This episode was very hard hitting. Anything to do with Sandy Hook shooting is, but to hear an account from a mother of a 6 year old victim, well it is just heartbreaking. Scarlett Lewis is a force to be reckon with since the loss of her child. What a fantastic way to look at a tragedy also; I...”Read full review »

“The man from episode #215 really touched my heart. I can imagine how many of us have been in a lot of the same situations.
I really love this podcast because it allows someone to tell their story without any other voices in the episode. Stripping it back and just keeping it easy gives us a...”Read full review »

“The original content was very good. It was unifying and reflective. The past 2023-2024 year included a shift in topics and guests, which was not as interesting or thought provoking as previous years but okay overall.
In 2024, the 82 percent was presented. Episode after episode, it got worse and...”Read full review »

“The original premise was so good. All of a sudden it’s clearly leaning toward a certain ideology and or belief system. While everyone is entitled to that of course, this is the best way to ruin any business. I’m pretty sure 82% probably agree…..”

Every episode is first hand stories painting scenarios of traumatic life experiences of each different person.

She is a biological woman/female which is why she was able to become pregnant. No man/male has ever or will ever...”Read full review »

“This series is glorifying the destruction of the nuclear family. In the polyamory episode, the narrator is in denial about growing up in an abusive household (hence why her parents were always concerned about CPS) and now wants to target young children by teaching them about sex.

“Before I share my honest thoughts, I need to qualify that my family is not an average, standard one. My husband is much younger than me. He helped raise my 2 children as a stepdad. We lost our son to illness at 11. Our daughter is a lesbian married to another lesbian. They have one biological...”Read full review »

“This podcast used to provide a diverse view of human experiences and triumphs but the last few months are just excessive commercials and attempts to glamorize dysfunctional families and normalize polyamory. The 82% should encompass so much more than what has been shared. Unsubscribing.”

“Great variety of perspectives but taking the lady who “counsels” couples to sleep around as serious therapist is disturbing. She tricks her man into letting her wh0re around - he isn’t into it and they break up and she lauds it as progress and is completely unchallenged on the matter. Miss me...”Read full review »

“It is hard to take people on your podcast seriously when those people can’t pronounce “nuclear” properly in addition to speaking with improper grammar such as saying “Him and I.
