Where Should We Begin? with Esther Perel

You are so incredibly strong! You’ll find a few more affordable IVF clinics like with the CNY network, people go to Mexico too (Reddit will have some recommendations). There are grants you can apply to (the next one I know of has a July 1 deadline). You’ll get your baby!!!!

This podcast is simply life changing. I have been listening for a few months, and it has thought me so much about my own dynamics, my childhood and my adult self. I feel empowered with more tools and empathy to understand and navigate life and relationships, in a way that completes and enriches therapy. Thank you Esther and all the callers, it’s a true gift to be on this journey with all of you.

Important information here. Insight into your relationships. Insight into who you are. Great listen.

I’m not one of the people who has purchased the subscription, and I don’t mind the premise of listening to a commercial, but I don’t know why I’m listening to Esther herself hocking products herself like a used car saleswoman. Am I really to believe that she has hand-selected babbel.com, MasterClass, Brookline sheets etc because they will further the mental health journey of the listeners? Its very jarring — just use regular advertisements or the voice of the announcer. Overall this highlights a turn toward the more commercial nature of this media venture. Also, I really miss the couples format. It’s so unique and much more compelling to listen to than the phone calls with individuals. She is at her most insightful when she’s helping two people see how different their scripts are from one another.
