Really Happy I Dropped By

Today is my first day listening to this podcast. Episode 151. Amazing content. I could picture myself sitting in a room with the speaker talking directly to me, we connected on a topic in less than 5 minutes. I am really looking forward to hearing her other wisdom on everyday topics.

Inspirational!

Xena’s podcast has helped me to take the steps I need toward living a better life. I struggle with social anxiety and this podcast has given me the help I needed to improve my confidence. Each episode inspires me to try things I didn’t feel I could do before. Some of them are simple things such as writing a public review and others are big things like taking a solo trip. This has been a life changing podcast for me.

LOVE CONTENT! PLEASE stop saying “RIGHT?” after EVERY SENTENCE!

Xena is wonderful and has excellent original continent.

I finally had to just stop listening because of the way she says “RIGHT?“ after every single sentence. I tried to ignore it, but it continued to grate on me, and now it’s all that I can hear when I listen.

We all have little “tics” that we learn to eliminate when we speak (especially when we speak professionally, for a living). Please, Xena, could you try to just end your (excellent) sentences, without saying right?

Thank you!!
