I used to absolutely love listening to Julie when I would get ready for work. I hate that it’s become so political. It actually has begun to make me more anxious. I no longer listen :(

Your voice is soothing and your messages are empowering. I truly appreciated the podcast about Ayesha Khan’s article. Can’t wait to hear more!

I love this podcast and I do indeed use it while making my bed.

I used to love this podcast but I have felt increasingly uncomfortable by the ads that Julie chooses for this podcast. As a self-help podcast that is primarily listened to by women and non-binary folks, the space is one where vulnerable people are consistently targeted by corporations that play on our fears for profit and greed. It feels important to know that there are frequent ads for predatory companies such as better help and Noom. These companies are absolutely targeted at people who are looking for self help, and it feels unfortunate that Julie is uncritically working with these companies. Furthermore, I have felt the podcast episodes get longer and longer and it doesn’t feel as useful as the short form content that it previously was.

starting the day with 3/4 minutes of ads is horrible, i don’t even want to make it to the content

thank you for making my mornings better everyday!

I love this podcast. The voice is soothing and every message has been on point. Im grateful that another like minded individual has put me on. I hope this bring joy to those who need it most.

Listening to Julie is one of the highlights of my morning routine and has gotten me through some dark times. Thank you Julie for this podcast; your dedication is incomparable and your genuine affection for your listeners shines through every episode! You are appreciated more than you know. 💜🎗️

I wanna be your friend! I feel like we would have the BEST conversations :)

I love this podcast! Their so positive and their messages have helped me to think about things in a whole new way! They’ve brought change into my life where I didn’t even know I needed it! I highly recommend!

An excellent podcast with short bursts of relatable content. Each episode is informative and motivational to help get through the challenges of day to day life. Great to listen to as a one a day daily podcast to start your mornings or end your days, but is also great as a binge listen as the episodes are short!

I really enjoy your podcast , your awesome 👏. Sometimes we forget that little things can a make small changes a better environment for ourselves and our Mother Earth . This is the only planet we have so why not try making small changes. Thank you so much for your podcast ♥️🪴🍀👍🏼

MYDB podcast has been part of my morning routine every day for last 4 months. I often go back to Julie’s older episodes as well b/c I love listening and often relate to the content. The episodes are short and sweet. Julie’s voice is super soothing too! 🤍✨

I started listening to this podcast around this time last year and I loved it because it was short and I always looked forward to them when I’d make my bed or morning routines I had. I was on and off listening to them through out this year but I started again this summer and I started to notice how much I took from each podcast I’d listen to and applied it to my current situations or helped friends or loved ones with this now that I’m able to help myself and really intake the Information I’ve learned and I’ll continue to listen to you and recommend everyone to listen to this podcast. Thank you 💖

3 1/2 minutes of ads before a six minute podcast is not appropriate. I understand you need advertising revenue, but when over 30% of the broadcast is ads, that’s too much.

I need a podcast like this in my life. The concept of it is excellent. If ONLY this pod weren’t overtly political, I might have followed and become a diehard fan. Funny how the people most vocal about diversity seem to hate diversity of opinions. Unfortunate.

This podcast helps me get out of bed in the morning. Sometimes you just need some real talk first thing in the morning. I actually look forward to listening each morning (and there’s not a lot to look forward to in the morning). It’s just that good! I can’t believe it’s free.

Love this podcast content and the idea of listening every morning, but the ads are too long compared to the content length.

I’ve been listening for a while and look forward to starting my day with Julie. The amount of thought and effort put into this podcast is sooo appreciated by a lot of people. Having said that I guess I’m a little protective of her and this lovely podcast. I find it extremely annoying that someone feels the need to leave a negative review based on obviously maybe one episode. Shame on you. And quit complaining about the ads!

I wanted to love this podcast, however having someone regurgitate articles without any real insights doesn’t really do it for me. Neither does starting a day with a minute long ad.

I listen to this every morning and I love what you have to say. I think it’s important how you always preface it with how this is just your experience or opinions but I truly take something from these each day. I started late so sometimes I even get o listen to two a day!! (I’m still on Day 272). I also wanted to say that we get why the ads are there!! It’s not a problem, it’s simply the way things are:) Overall I love your message, I love how it sets the tone for my day, and I love how I actually make my bed now!! Side note: I know this isn’t what this podcast is, but I would personally LOVE an extended episode if you ever find something you want to talk about!! Keep doing this, you are making so many people happy!! So many of my friends and roommates have started listening too because I keep talking about it!

This podcast is the first thing I listen to in the morning while I drink my warm lemon water. I love that it makes me reflect about life in a positive way

I just listened to 1/29 episode and Julie..thank you. I’ve been set on a path of 365 day of being single and just dating to get to know and be better about what I want. And you talked to me like you knew. I’m better at saying no, I make my needs and wants known . And it sounds so harsh when I talk to other people. I’m glad I’m not alone. Thank you so much for this podcast

I've been putting off writing a review for way too long. I've listened to your show for almost a year now, and today got up to Negative Reviews. I feel the need to counteract people complaining about ads on a FREE SHOW from someone putting out new content everyday. This podcast is amazing. I swear I feel like you are with me each morning. You've become a staple in my morning routine, after yoga, before breakfast. I look forward to hearing the topic for the day. I honestly tell everyone they should start their day with this. I honestly say your greeting and sign off with you at this point haha Keep putting out amazing content and crushing it! There are those of us out here who appreciate all the hard work and time you put into this. Thank you for this show. It really has helped me so much in the last year!

i listen to mydb most days, it’s the perfect length for my drive to work. julie seems to always touch on things that are happening in my life at that moment, and i really appreciate having that extra input to make me think about things. this is my favorite podcast, 10/10 highly recommended.

I enjoy listening to this podcast on a daily basis and it’s a great way to begin my day. Thanks for making fantastic content; I’d be happy to support your podcast monetarily for ad-free episodes!

I used to love getting out of bed to this, but the ads right at the start are just too much. Please put them at the end! Totally understand the desire to monetize, these ads just sort of defeat the purpose of waking up calm.

Great way to start your morning or catch up on your car ride home. It’s short enough to keep to engaged in every spot on topic. Perfect practice to add to your daily routine with amazing content.

Thank you Julie for giving me a reason to get out of bed in the morning! I struggle daily with depression, but I don’t let it define me. I tell myself each morning that I only have to get out of bed for one episode and then I’ll see how I feel once it’s over. I typically stay out of bed, or at least stay awake, after I’ve finished the episode. I acknowledge the negative thoughts that enter my mind, but am able to see them in a more positive light because of your gentle yet effective nudges & the topics you address that just seem to feel like they’re especially for me. Thank you again and keep up the great work!

I used to love this show but there’s too many commercials now. And the commercials are SOOO much louder than the show! Not how I want to start my day.

i listen to this podcast every single day and love it so much. but the new commercials ruin the vibe. 2 minutes of commercials? come onnnnnn

I loveeee this podcast, always give me peace! A good way to start the day

Jessica does a great job with this podcast. I love the short little tidbits with great advice about how to have a happier life. It is very motivating and helps me to stay focused on the important things in life.

I love this podcast but can’t stand the new background music. Please switch it back!!!!!

I just recently discovered this podcast series and honestly really thankful for the episodes. Julie’s voice and messages really help ground me in the morning and the title is a more than helpful reminder to maintain my surroundings as well as my mind.

As a podcaster myself, this pod is so creative and unique. I have only listened to two episodes and have decided to make it a daily practice. She’s got me saying “yes” and “amen” and I put my throw pillows onto my bed.

I love putting on this bite-sized podcast every morning when I make my bed. It helps me start my day on a good, thoughtful note and makes me feel productive and ready for the day.

Favorite part of my morning routine and reinforces a lot of topics I have learned about in therapy and books❤️

I've been listening to these for a couple of days, and they've been great to listen to first thing in the morning, but for the past few days, the advise Julie has spotlighted was exactly what I needed. I don't know how she knew I needed to hear that, but thank you none-the-less. Keep up the great work, I will be listeneing every morning for the forseeable future.

I love this podcast, the topics are relatable and help me work through my anxiety. I typically hit play and let several episodes go, sometimes re-listening to the ones that really hit home. When friends or family ask for recommendations you bet this podcast makes my list.

I love this podcast. Julie creates such a safe, warm and welcoming atmosphere to listen in. This has and is still helping me implement things that I don’t particularly enjoy but am beginning to because I have this podcast to listen to while doing so. Thank you Julie!

I heard about this podcast through the “pls stop. pod”, and they were right, it’s great! Love waking up to it

this podcast is so great! it’s the perfect length to play in the morning and so many of the ideas Julia offers is so intriguing. I’m so excited for what’s to come !

I do wish she cut out the last 30 or so seconds that are repeated each time after she says her name at the end :( Otherwise the content is great and I found this podcast completely on accident.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this podcast

I listen to this every morning and it’s become apart of my daily routine. Just wish the episodes were longer but this is a great way to get your day started.

I listen to this podcast as often as I can! Sometimes I binge a couple of episodes because I can’t get enough of it! She’s seriously so wise and totally going places! My only (maybe) critique is the repeating message every episode but other than that give it a listen!!

Within 5 episodes/days I’ve gotten into the habit of making my bed because of this podcast- in turn it made me start drinking water in the morning before coffee and taking time to reflect on myself. Thank you so much!

I honestly haven’t listened yet, but I am so excited to. I just found a post of yours on TikTok that really spoke to me. Can’t wait to hear more❤️

This podcast is the perfect length for basic morning tasks and is so great for motivation! Julie’s voice is so soothing.
