I love TBM and have done the workshops and enjoy the wisdom of Lacey and the guests but have stopped listening to the podcasts because Jessica talks so much and often times feels like she is over powering and dominating over the guests. A bit less of her constantly talking and more humility would make the podcast more valuable. It’s really a shame because the workshops are so good and I used to really enjoy the podcasts

I really do believe in the process that TBM lays out for you can lead to manifesting things you want and have seen it happen in my own life.

So glad Lacy is more at the forefront again! The TBM work is amazing. And Lacy, you don’t need to bend to all the negative people online who are obsessed with coercing others into their political agendas. It’s clear they are all very unhappy people who are addicted to negativity bias. And to address the other reviewer about the former IDF soldier guest: Keren Eldad is from Israel. It’s a requirement for citizens to serve in the IDF military there. So clearly, she had no choice. Get your facts straight. Either way, it’s not for you to judge.

So utterly gross that you would have a former IDF soldier on this podcast. Disgusting.

2025 review update: Too much Jessica. And she does not know when to stop talking. I used to love this podcast. It’s so bad now. She turns every interview back to herself. Speaks more than the guests. She somehow managed to make even a Dani Beinstein interview painful to listen to. Every single ad is her talking about her & what she’s “using” and “loving”. Grammar could use some checking & when sentences get ended with, literally, “blah blah blah” by the speaker herself, I just want to turn off the episode. Substance, please. There’s plenty in this work to share. Old episodes included Lacey & an entire team of gifted guides & teachers with explanations & inspiration centered on the TBM work. The podcast continues to go downhill & it’s really kinda sad. But, if interested, old episodes & old Supported recordings in the subscription are golden.

I literally listen to every episode the second it’s released. Lacy and Jessica make complex manifestation and personal development topics not only digestible, but actionable and inspiring. 10/10 all day, every day.

Sorry, Jessica is not inspiring. And it takes too much effort to find the value in this show - every other minute is a new ad.

THANK YOU guys for listening to the feedback. TBM is so tied to Lacy, it just isn’t the same without her. It’s so nice to have her back, doing her witchy thing! I’m baffled by the hate for Jess’ voice, but it’s just an entirely different podcast with her in the drivers seat - and, unfortunately, one that doesn’t give us any real substance, insight or authenticity. We missed you Lacy!!

I used to love this podcast so so much. The guests and process episodes always put me into such alignment and helped me continually gain perspective. Enough so that I subscribed to the TBM work after listening for about six months and started diving into the back catalogue. Unfortunately I can’t even listen to the podcast anymore which feels like such a loss. Old episodes had so much depth to them and the new ones simply skim the surface or fall flat. There’s nothing that really nurtures listeners who have been here since the beginning. Everything is so focused on selling “the work” that some of the original sparkle of manifesting and real life examples has been lost. Also, ignoring feedback and putting it back on the listener calling it a shadow feels like they’re gaslighting their audience.

I really love this show, both the earlier and later episodes. As a TBM Pathway member who has seen some wonderful results from the process in just a few short months … I love catching up on old Expanded episodes daily as a way to (yes) keep expanding myself on the journey. Are all episodes relevant to me or reflective of my personal beliefs and goals? Not at all … and to me that’s a very good thing. I get to explore and sample so many ideas, experiences and worldviews. Some interviews I love, and some don’t resonate. Yet all help to expand me in one way or the other ~ even if it’s just helping me become more clear (by way of contrast) what desires and ideas are NOT mine. Also, as a fellow podcaster, I have a sense of how much work goes into a show like this. And wow! To be clocking in at 340+ episodes (at the time of this writing) is such a milestone! Congrats and thank you to Lacy, Jessica and the entire TBM team.

I’ve been listening to TBM since 2021 and it’s been absolutely transformational. I love Lacey and Jessica and the whole TBM community. This is the only podcast where I get excited about the latest one to drop each week. Thank you!

I’ve been listening to the podcast since Lacy hosted and have enjoyed it over the years. But having a former IDF soldier (Keren Eldad) on the podcast to talk about boundaries is SO completely inappropriate. To have been part of an army that has for over 50 years subjugated native people, then get on a podcast to speak about “burnout and people pleasing” is ridiculous and offensive. I really expected better out of everyone at TBM. I will no longer be listening to people pretending to be spiritual and enlightened while quietly supporting the exact opposite of that.

I have been listening since 2020 and both the podcast and Tbm programs have provided both structure and inspiration for me as a small business owner. I really resonate with Jessica and her way of explaining and organizing information. Also why is it now socially acceptable to criticize someone’s voice? So odd. It’s a part of you, no different than skin color, height, weight etc. It is interesting that people are choosing to hate in that way. Jessica has a beautiful and authentic voice and I really look forward to hearing it every week 💕

Episode 317 was truly transformative. It’s an incredibly powerful experience to listen to fellow members of TBM share their journeys and suddenly realize, “Oh wow, I have that limiting belief too.” The level of insight and healing in that moment is hard to put into words. Thank you Lacy, Jessica, and everyone in the TBM community for your dedication to this work. Jessica, I’m sorry you've had to receive such negative messages. It’s clear those comments say far more about the person leaving them than they do about you. Please know this: KEEP SPEAKING. We need your voice, your wisdom, and your truth. I stand in support of women using their voice. I will never silence another woman and I encourage others to pause and reflect before doing so.

Love this podcast, always have and always will. It’s FILLED with so much magic. And idk what some of the negatives are talking about, Jessica your voice is lovely! Love TBM always.

Appalled by the extreme level of superficiality and egocentrism on the part of whichever host stated in Episode 337 that she has “surpassed” someone she previously perceived as a “threat” and now this person “ferociously looks up to her.” This flies in the face of any true spiritual work that is intended to elevate energy rather than engage in juvenile competition to “surpass” anyone on this journey of life.

I just want this to directly reach Jessica, I love your voice. I am not a member. I haven’t really listened to a ton of episodes (around 20 or so) and I was shocked at the hate on your voice. I remember listening to an episode and thinking “wow, that is a very authentic voice, I wondering what she looks like, etc” So yeah, keep doing ur thing

Jessica is great at interviewing thought leaders in the manifestation space. I love that they bring a psychological, rooted in science.

I love the idea of this podcast, but please get a new host, or have Lacy start recording eps again. Jessica seems like a lovely person, she is just not right for this job at all. Her voice, insights, and energy are not in alignment for the TBM brand in my opinion. Looks like I am not alone at all looking at other reviews.

Woof! The episode with Jenna Zoe was hard to listen to. The exchange between her and Jessica on whether Instagram boosting has integrity was wild! Boosting is not buying bots, it’s priority viewership. It’s not the same as buying followers. Social media suppression is an actual thing. 2 blond yt women talking about not blaming government or externals for your life is profoundly tone def. I’ve held onto this pod by a thread since Lacy left. Now I can’t. Same yt female guests. Less soul, witchcraft and depth.

I love Jessica and hearing what she has to say but I think after reading all these reviews, I’m not alone in thinking her voice is very distracting and grating. Highly recommend some voice lessons to ground it a bit and make it easier to listen to her wonderful commentary. I sadly keep getting distracted by her voice and find myself having go go back and re listen over and over. Also! We all love Lacy and having her also on the pod is important for expansion. I’m not super inspired by Jessica and her manifestations so it’s hard to fully be on board and trust what she says.

I think Jessica is great, but unfortunately it’s just a different podcast without Lacy on it anymore (or rarely.) I really miss when Lacy used to share what was going on in her life, and loved her personal updates and hearing how she uses manifestation, favorite things, etc. was so expansive. It would be so cool if she wanted to do 1-2 solo podcasts a month just checking in and sharing things she loves, and whats going on in her life now! 🙏🏻

I used to love this podcast when Lacy was more involved. Jessica’s voice is just not podcast friendly, and even when I try to get past that her content/perspective has never resonated with me…and it seems as though she has taken over the pod so I unsubscribed. Will check back in every now and again in hopes that something shifts ♥️

Lacy, your work in the DIs has really changed the way I live and love my life. So grateful for you.

You guys really don’t seem to care about your listeners it’s all about your bottom line. I write this review with a heaviness because I have to echo what many of the other listeners have already said. You guys used to be my most favorite podcast and I have been a member for over a year. Now all this is is one huge ad and the depth behind it is sorely missing. The brand is turning more towards pop psychology than anything else. I used to love the amazing guests you had on but now I have had to listen to Jessica talk about ‘manifesting’ her home for weeks. Why are we having a second process episode with her house shopping in this energetic world climate? Manifesting a specific piece of furniture and manifesting more real estate is tone deaf and your listeners some of them really relied on your process to help them do deep work. Now it’s more disconnected than ever and just more capitalism wrapped in spiritual words and the fact that you guys are tripling down on that is heartbreaking. Jessica giving us counseling advice every episode isn’t what most of us signed up for.

I hate to leave negative reviews but this used to be one of my favorite pods but in the past two years the quality has seriously declined. Lacy has taken a noticeable step back and the replacement content is not the same. Janelle is my favorite for sure and I am tempted to just listen to her and ignore the rest sadly.

I loved this podcast, but now I get nothing out of it. In earlier episodes, when Lacy spoke, I’d hear both what she was saying and then random clarifying things for my own life. I could relisten to her episodes and get new insights out of no where. The last year or so has felt really surface level and I don’t get anything out of it. I check in every so often but it’s mostly members talking about how you should keep doing the work.. that’s not useful to us subscribers. Lacy used to provide beautiful guidance and I miss that. I’d rather have a monthly release of Lacy mini episodes, rather than a weekly release with marketing filler. Imagine the new paradigm- it’s not so rigid. We can have fewer episodes of varying lengths.

I am a longtime listener, but as a therapist, I don’t want to hear someone trying desperately to motivate people. I’d rather get my therapy advice from someone with experience working with people. I was here for the witchiness and loved listening to Lacy; it felt down-to-earth, but now the magic is gone. I find that much of the advice is gimmicky and behaviorally based, while the DIs are more somatic. I have gained so much from Lacy’s work, and I thank TBM for the role it has played in my life! When Jessica realizes she actually wants to be a counselor, I’ll be back for the new host!

This use to be my #1 go to podcast each week, however, since the host has changed, I seem to be listening to it less and less. I am also part of the yearly program I have been for a couple years. It’s a good program and worth the investment.

Go to a therapist in real time.

I love TBM and have gotten so many beautiful insights from Lacy. All love to Jess, but she’s just not the right fit for this brand. I have no doubt she’d be amazing in a million and one other roles. It feels like all of the potency has been slowly drained from the podcast. I can barely make it through an episode anymore. I’m sure there are tons of brilliant projectors out there just waiting for an invitation to step into this role and bring the magic back. I’m only writing this because I care. 🤍

I found this podcast through the search, and wanted to listen because it had a topic I was looking for. Then first nearly 15 mins was all ads! If I didn’t hop on my rower right then I put this on, I would have turned it off. Maybe it has good content, but I can’t get past 14+ mins of ads to get to the content.

I’ve been a follower of this podcast for a while and get a lot of value out of the episodes. Lacy is a great source of wisdom and perspective. Definitely recommend! ❤️

I’m just not sure why they never link the guests they’re talking to in the show notes. It’s pretty frustrating and kinda weird they don’t. Make it easy for your listeners to connect with the people you’re talking to please.

I am so grateful for Jessicas outlook and perspectives. I really look forward to this podcast every week. Thank you all for continuing to share!

Please work on your voices. The vocal fry is too much!!! It’s not a flattering way to present information. Great content but the voices!!! Please! 🙏🏽🙏🏽

I don’t mean to be disrespectful and not that it’s a big issue but I suffer of misophonia so, such a constant vocal fry from one of the hostesses makes it a tad irritating and hard to listen sometimes and unfortunately I get a physical reaction like numbness on my limbs (sometimes it’s embarrassing to mention misophonia because it feels like it’s not a real thing but sadly, it is very challenging how a simple noise or sound can have such an effect on oneself). Some episodes are a bit repetitive and unnecessarily long, meaning is more of a chat rather than valuable information. Anyways, good show, I’ve been following TBM since 2017.

This podcast and the membership have been life changing. I love listening to both/either Jess and Lacy 🤍

You know that line at the end of the film when Harry Met Sally? Harry runs across Manhattan on New Year’s Eve to tell Sally he loves her because as he says, “when you find someone you want to spend the rest of your life with, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.“ That’s sort of how I feel about the Expanded podcast, and The Pathway. I want the rest of my life as a confident, expanded being to start (and continue) as soon as possible and I want to tell everyone to listen to this podcast. I’m constantly sharing it. As a working mom to a child on the autism spectrum, I have so many competing demands and so many challenges to step into my worth yet I find myself coming back time and again to Expanded for motivation and clarification. At 49 with a PhD, a successful business and a career as a college professor, you’d think I had it all figured out, but I find I’m often still triggered in deep spiritual ways. My first year on The Pathway shifted my perceptions so profoundly, but since my membership expired, I’ve come to rely on the podcast to nudge me along. Because of what I’ve learned from the podcast and the Pathway, I’ve manifested big things like the perfect school for my son, small things like a free Instant Pot, and even lucrative clients. Thank you! Thank you for the work you do!

I want to start off by saying I think Jessica has a lot of gifts and talents. Although, I really struggle with her as the host of this amazing podcast. I love and adore the TBM work. Being a pathway member has changed my life. I historically have loved the podcast but recently am finding it harder and harder to listen. I struggle with the sound and energy of Jessica’s voice, the constant misuse of grammar, and misuse of words. Her voice and speech literally makes me anxious. More and more, I find I can’t focus on the podcast and end up tuning out or am so distracted by the things mentioned above. I think it’s a shame because the content is so important and so valuable. I understand Lacey may not be as available for the podcast, but it’s night and day when she’s sharing versus Jessica. I’ve tried sharing the podcast with several friends and they’ve had the same feedback and, as a result, been turned off to TBM work as a result. Such a shame because I know it could benefit them. I was reluctant to write this because as I stated at the beginning of this review, I do think Jessica has a lot of gifts and brilliance. But, as the host of this podcast, she really falls short. I’t would be so wonderful if you all could get a more aligned host that would keep your listeners.

I don’t listen unless Lacy hosts which is rare these days :/ close to unsubscribing

This is the one podcast drop I look forward to the most each week—and I think I started listening at the very beginning, 2017? 2018? It blows me away how it always seems to have some nugget that is exactly what I need in the moment. I’ve been a pathway member for years and have manifested my babies and home (with every must have on my list in the exact right place and the right price), a new aligned career (life changing!), a wonderful community, incredible travel opportunities and oh so much more. The work is so ingrained in my day to day vernacular that it’s truly changed how I see the world. Jessica has done such an amazing job with the pod and her voice is so soothing too! The recent additions of the nervous system resets have brought this all to a whole new level- I feel like I can tackle anything now. I’m so thankful for all that you do on the pod and at TBM. 🙏🙏🙏

I miss when the stories used to be more long form and when yall had more alternative stories… I guess less “girlboss” oriented? I don’t really relate to a ton of the guests manifesting because I’m not trying to really be a corporate she E O who wants to build her own company. More creatives!! More musicians! More painters or woodworkers! More stories of people using social media to grow their small biz that is an artisan at its core?

Jessica is so sweet and brings so much intention to the podcast, but it just isn’t the same. There’s so much intellectualizing of every concept, versus channeling if that makes sense … it used to feel like the podcast imparted Lacy’s gifts.. versus dissected each tenet of TBM so systematically. It’s lost some of its soul and I find myself tuning out. Even if Lacy isn’t available anymore, perhaps there’s a way to bring back some more of the flow and magic?

As someone who has been on the TBM ride for years, I feel compelled to share my thoughts on manifestation. I’m at a stage in my life in which I’ve become a little skeptical of manifestation. Are you actually manifesting things or is your psyche aligning to a potential future outcome? Hence why you may feel drawn to certain things you want from life because it may already be written. I also think this work can keep you in a constant loop of always needing to be working on yourself which can be dangerous for those with fragile mental states, especially if your manifestations aren’t coming through. I have found my life has become exponentially better when I decided to let go of the chase for manifestation and just simply prioritized being present. Having aspirations is important, of course, but my intuition and instincts began to plunder when I would write out specific manifestations because I was so consumed by those particular things happening that I wasn’t in the flow of life. I recently recognized that the best years of my life happened when I wasn’t even aware of the concept of manifestation. My “rock bottom” years consisted of me over obsessing with manifestation. Once I decided to let go of it, I returned back to those good years pre-manifestation. Mama Medicine has spoken at lengths in the past about demanifestation (if you dig through her IG you’ll find a live about it from a few years ago) which really resonates with me and maybe someone else who has felt unsure about this program will resonate too. Of course choose the things that work for you and if manifestation is that, wonderful. But as someone who can be neurotic and a perfectionist, manifestation can take me in a depressive spiral. Also, Lacy is at a place financially in which “manifesting” things is of course easier than someone living in poverty. To ignore the financial privilege that’s undergirding your next real estate venture or next farm animal feels a little deceptive. So are you actually manifesting or do you just have the financial resources, proximity and ease of access to get more of your material wants? In general, I think life is more fun and beautiful when you allow for mystery and surprise. Life is so much more juicy when you let spontaneity lead. So please check in with yourself and always ask is this working for me because getting clear that this isn’t for me has been the best discovery and has taken so many burdens off of my back.

This is coming from a therapist and a projector who was a loyal fan: I used to listen to this podcast religiously, I’ve listened to them all from the beginning and been a member of TBM. I always recommended this show to friends and strongly believed in everything it was about and loved the content with my soul and being. I was passionate about it. For a while now I can’t even tune in to an episode any more. I used to look forward to listening to the show each week. Since Jessica became host it ruined it for me. I want to like her and I want to be able to overlook her voice but I can’t. Like someone else mentioned her voice literally hurts my ears and I can’t listen. The content is also superficial as well. It lacks the depth, creativity, craft, and beauty that it had in the beginning pre-all the co-hosts. It lost it’s magic, and I believe because Lacy is not hosting and also the type of guests and content each episode consists of now. I used to LOVE all the guests on the show, I would always begin following the guests afterward because I had genuine intrigue and mental stimulation from the show. Now the guests seem to be mostly subscribers who talk about their journey and process to sell more memberships. I agree with other reviews that it is a constant sells pitch of a product and “formula” for the product and nothing more, nothing substantial or nourishing. I had some interest in Dr. Tarah and Janelle the therapist initially. A few episodes were okay, but them constantly involved is not interesting any more. I grew so bored of that. There’s not enough contrast in content and guests. I miss the old guests that were interesting and provided the depth and contrast. I also loved Lacy as host and miss her as host. I understand her wanting to grow her family and focus on family but her absence in hosting the show has ruined it for me. I want to hear more about many deep topics, like all the old guests provided. Not just members preaching their success stories and wealth and the “formula” of the product they are selling. It has lost it’s magic. The human aspect of this podcast has went down the garbage. 🗑️ I was such a #1 fan before all the cohosts and Jessica joining. It ruined it for me. I hope something changes because when I listen it’s disappointing. I used to love, love this podcast as my favorite podcast.

I’ll begin by amplifying what I love about this podcast— it is expansive, inspiring, and clarifying. I discovered TBM in 2019 and have been a devoted listener and pathway member ever since. My entire life has transformed over the past few years and, in part, because of this beautiful work. With that said, I’d like to echo some of the former reviews. I dearly miss the deep, grounded, insightful voice that Lacy brought to the podcast. The current iteration lacks an intellectual edge and leaves me linguistically craving more. There is a surface-level tone that has crept in, with the current host employing more general answers and superficial responses. I miss the fervor that use to accompany each episode. I still advocate to listen and will continue to do so myself. The benefits certainly outweigh the critiques. Overall, I am grateful for the access to such thoughtful content and hope it continues to evolve.

Paying members should be able to get access to a pod recording with no adds

Why do all alt health people look and feel the same?

I love the content, but find myself tuning out due to the grating voice of the host. Her voice is torturous. Literally hurts my ears. Maybe something can be done in the sound design to soften those edges? That would be cool. Or maybe Jessica can work behind the scenes? A new host would cheer me up! I tune in every episode hoping things have changed.
