Warning: will change your life
I have been listening to this podcast for over a year, and I am grateful for it daily. It has transformed my interactions with others and with myself. Dr. Abby lovingly calls attention to the patterns that we build up in our heads without realizing, and then practically shows …
you how to work through them in every single episode. She is incredibly wise, passionate, and kind—her authenticity is refreshing. If you’re unsure where to begin, start with the “204-Step-by-Step Guide to Starting Your Day Right”, and “003-Thinking Your Day has 24 Hours is Wrong” for time management and self-care. I recommend “124-How to Listen Without Getting Defensive or Hurt” and “252-Instead of Date Nights, Work on Micro-Connections” for relationship work. You can’t go wrong wherever you start, this podcast is a gift.

Can’t say enough good things
I can’t say enough good things about Abby’s podcast. I came across her podcast when I was in a time of need of learning how to cope with my depression and stress. Now I stay because there is so much I’m learning from her episodes. She is relatable, funny and always leaves you with good tips and tricks to use. If you are unable to see a therapist or need help sorting out some troubles or just want to learn about yourself I highly recommend listening. Also, her episodes are ad free which is also a treat! Thank you Abby for having this resource
