“Your bravo perspective is so unique and actually helpful in my own life. It’s not an another catty bravo pod. I’ve actually brought things that I’ve learned from you talking about bravo into my own therapy and appointments and self-work. Especially how you talk about addiction and trauma. I...”Read full review »

“As someone who has been through a lot of therapy due to trauma, I find myself watching Bravo shows through different eyes than I did prior to the trauma and all of the help I’ve received. I view behaviors differently and recognize things I didn’t before. I find so much validation when I listen to...”Read full review »

“I loved your latest with Ryan Bailey. I am also triggered by Jen’s inability to be a grownup. She’s a sweet woman, but not knowing how to manage finances on a basic level makes my head explode. I also wasn’t handed things growing up so there’s that!”

“Listening to your OC 1-4 recap you stated you are “basically a doctor”. Although you may have had many experiences with medical care it is irresponsible to state you are “basically a doctor” to your listeners while having an MA in Psychology. Not only does it undermine the work of MD & DOs it...”Read full review »

“As a therapist you should not even allude to possible issues people on a reality show might have. Reality shows reduce hundreds of hours into maybe 20 hours and skew what they think we should take as entertainment (key word entertainment). It’s very bee hive mentality to assume West committed to...”Read full review »

“Difficult to listen to as she speaks incredibly slowly and choppy- speed the podcast up to 1.5x-minimum. She is obviously very new, with some kinks to work out. A little surprised she is a therapist- her POV is so biased. Serious lack of preparation and rough transitions were distracting. Ugh…...”Read full review »
