  • Just stop

    Stop talking so much and let the guests talk. You don't have to make a comment every time they say something.

  • Disappointed

    This podcast is for Ashlyn’s ego. She has zero interviewing skills. She basically wanted a platform to talk about herself. Her reputation was destroyed by cheating on her wife and family and her attempt to restore it by doing a podcast about people being resilient has back fired.

  • Not great

    Bummer to have Shannon Beverage on and monopolize the majority of the episode talking about yourself. I would have LOVED if you’d asked her what she wants! She’s spoken publicly about her am desire to have kids and that being the demise of her last relationship Yet Ashlyn spent the time talking about HER experience w adoption, kids, etc… Plainly put, not everyone has the skills necessary to interview ppl! Shes a lovely person but she should not host her own show. Only a select few ppl are trul... more

    Listened to the Shannon episode.

    Ashlyn is narcissistic. Several random comments made in an attempt to make Ali jealous. I could barely listen. At one point toward the end, randomly declares she is “having the best sex of her life” (completely unsolicited)! Repeatedly says “my ex wife” like it’s a badge of honor! Randomly giggles like the juvenile she is. Ashlyn turned the conversation to her own opinions several times, not her guest!
