“And it is such a shame.
Its clear that you/your team easily makes many many millions with all the different offerings you have. Most out in this world don’t have the privilege or luxury to afford therapy…in the beginning you seemed to make this for them. It leaves a very bad taste in the mouth...”Read full review »

“This podcast made me realize that communicating and listening are skills that constantly need to be worked on. I’ve spent way too long stuck in my own thoughts and I wonder how much I’ve missed because I wasn’t really listening.”

“I appreciated the conversation in this episode. The individual’s experience is so very similar to mine. Just this year, I’ve been ghosted five times without reason, conversation, etc. it drives me mad how our society has become so disassociated and lacks maturity to treat one another as adults....”Read full review »

“The conversational quality of the sessions makes each episode so relatable, even if the clients lives are vastly different than my own. I’ve learned a lot about myself and my relationships through listening to this podcast. I’m so thankful it exists. Ester is a treasure.”

“I don’t understand how she can SEE so much SO clearly SO quickly. It’s eerie and mind blowing. I could hear the story of my ex in the interview and the advice “you guys would be better friends—not ever a couple”—I was like F. It hit me.”

“I used to very much like the podcast but recently, I am losing patience.

“When I first listened to this podcast, every session was a one-time counseling event. Now? Not so much. The ‘expert guests’ are of no interest to me. The broadcasts in ‘themes’ or conversations with others about ‘topics’ that might interest leave me cold. I tune in for the one-time counseling...”Read full review »

“I’ve listened to three non-special guest episodes and have to say a big red flag for me is when a host does more talking than listening.
