  • Mechanical and Machine Like

    There’s nothing worse than listening to someone reading a chapter or off a script for 45min straight. Enlighten us by dropping in an opinion here and there. The podcast feels more like an audiobook.

  • So helpful

    Rhoda interviews the best experts to enlighten us on how to have better relationships. I learn a lot from every episode. What I like the most is the way she asks specific questions to enable the guest to talk about what’s going to be most helpful for the listener. Great stuff!

  • Great Content, but Rhoda speaks in a tone that sounds like shouting

    I find it difficult to absorb some of the information that Rhoda so graciously shares due to her tone, volume, and over emphasis. The ideas are very helpful to me, so I keep listening to episodes. I also think that it often sounds like Rhoda is reading directly from a script more often than not. I think this also contributes to how aggressive the podcast feels. It feels like I’m being lectured or yelled at for trying to learn new things and become a better person.
