Good research; Condescending tone
If the goal really is to help as many people as possible, shouldn’t the way you communicate be on the table for self-reflection? Many of the negative reviews lament the helpful content presented in an unhelpful way. I would challenge the hosts to do the hard work that they expect from others; examine the research and honestly self-reflect: I.e.examine the research on condescending communication and self-reflect. Does this description of contempt sound familiar: “Dispositional contempt – that is, in their tendency to look down on, feel cold toward, and derogate or distance those who violate their standards and values.” Citation: Schriber, R. A., Chung, J. M., Sorensen, K. S., & Robins, R. W. (2017). Dispositional contempt: A first look at the contemptuous person. Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 113, 280-309 Does any of this sound familiar to listeners as examples of condescending language: - Making backhanded compliments - Using sarcasm or humor to imply someone’s ignorance - Interrupting or talking over someone Proverbs 18:19: A brother offended is more unyielding than a strong city, and quarreling is like the bars of a castle. Is there a way you could present the same information without the sarcasm and disdain?

This podcast is a must for anyone who grew up in purity culture! But I must say that her daughter Becca’s snarky comments are unnecessary and a bit of a turn...Read full review »

As a women’s health physical therapist, I greatly appreciate the shout outs throughout her episodes. Appreciate how she talks about sex through a different view than what most of us are taught or brought up thinking. Appreciate the conversation that intimacy and touch and how this is important to...Read full review »
