This podcast is helping me save my relationship. After listening to the series on Love in Limbo, l've been able to approach space with empathy, compassion, and a renewed sense of self. It got me through the immediate heartbreak and emotional storm and into a place of understanding and security. I know there's a mountain still ahead but I feel so much more prepared to tackle it now.

-Merr

I have been listening to many relationship related podcasts. I had to hit pause because so many of them started to become too mainstream and a little all over the place, totally okay but not my thing. This podcast is a really great voice of reason and reminder of perspective when I'm taking a pause in therapy, which is something that I really appreciate.
