Love this podcast- these hosts make me laugh; let me know I’m not alone; and I swear they can read my mind. The (best of) Pet Peeves episode had my husband and I nodding in agreement. Thanks for sharing yourselves with us!

This show is the best. Period. Thank you for being here!! 💗

This is my favorite show! It makes me laugh, cry, and think deeply (which I love as a fellow enneagram 4, empath, and highly sensitive person.) Glennon, Abby, & Amanda are like my therapists outside of therapy, though in therapy my therapist and I talk about this show every session! Thank you to everyone involved in the making of this show for all you do!

I love how honest they are about everything while finding the humor in it all at the same time.

I laughed so hard and felt so seen!! 😂 #soundboundries

I have listened to the podcast since day one. It has changed my life in many meaningful ways. Thank you forever and ever. The changes as of this past year though…more and more ads/commercials, the introduction of the calm news, and so many “best of” episodes…what is happening to our pod??? it feels like you all have moved away from the original intention of the podcast and it makes me feel sad. I know things have to change in life and in the world, but changing this podcast is not one I ever wanted to have to experience. 😔😔😔 Not slamming the pod, just offering my observations and feedback. I will forever be indebted to you three for positive learning and growth because of this podcast. So, no matter what direction it goes in at least we will always have the original three years.

I trust these women more than most people in my life?! I keep coming back to this podcast. Thank you three + production team - this podcast is such a gift!

Love Jessica Yellin’s take on news. I much appreciate her perspective.

I love everything you do because your humor, honesty, and authenticity make me feel like I am connected to a community of beautiful, deeply precious souls. And thank you to Amanda and Jessica for your Thursday updates. You have not only helped me stay up to date calmly but this weekly show has become something I really look forward to each week, both of which I am so grateful for. Please please keep doing these Thursday updates. Just hearing jessica and Amanda each week makes me hopeful.

I am the mom of a 10 year old football loving boy and a football loving husband and this episode felt so IMPORTANT. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and putting words to what I feel.

Great show over all but I CRINGED when the woman talked about telling gusts a time to go home. That’s Sooo American in a bad way. If it’s a close friend and you HAVE to leave at a certain time to get to a class etc ok but “guests”?! I’ve lived in Europe and Mexico and if you did that people would hate you. It’s all about slow food, conversation, quality time. It may end early or take hours. That American work/grind/repeat is sad. Thank God I left that country and culture. Thanks for what you all do.

Good content but 4-1/2 minutes of ads just to get started, plus long ads throughout. Is there a limit, or will this podcast continue to push more and more ads on its loyal listeners just because they can?

Thank you for the HFC episodes with Teri Cole. Hello, my name is Stephanie and I am a HFC !!! I just celebrated my 50 th Birthday, and I have been reflecting on my life. I want to break free from people pleasing, and over functioning! I am exhausted, I can’t do it anymore! I want to experience less stress, and more joy! These 2 episodes have changed my life. I feel excited to set boundaries and stay on my side of the street, and practice the 24 hour rule for making decisions. I truly feel like Glennon and I share a brain! P.S. Thanks for recommending “Dying for Sex” in your newsletter, Seriously, so good, the beauty of their friendship was just so beautiful, and when she invited the “dog” to the hospital, I thought I would pee my pants! Lol 🤣I wish I could sit and chat with you, Abby and Amanda, I know you all would love me! 😉

Plain and simple- the flow of your podcast is so natural and funny and real-you guys are simply the best!! 💗💗💗

Love your show

Let me start by saying this show has changed my life and relationships (especially my relationship TO my relationships) for the better. I have taken so many valuable messages with me into the world, I have used episodes as starting points for really tough conversations with my partner, and I have moved through the transition of becoming a new mom with you incredible people in my ear. These things are all true, AND I feel that the pace of episode production has become unsustainable. It’s so much content, so fast, that quality control can’t last. I fear the show could start moving into Oprah territory, where grifters with unresearched backgrounds and questionable motives (usually to sell their book or their lifestyle or their program) are given a platform. Sure, every guest has a kernel of truth to share, but what are they selling along with it? I urge the team to slow down and critically evaluate the content and the context of each guest with something closer to academic rigor. Thank you for reading. I value and appreciate all you have given me and so many others.

This podcast has helped me become a better mother, wife, sister, friend, thinker, feeler, citizen, human. Completely changed my life, no exaggeration.

The episodes with Amanda and Jessica Yellin are the most clear, stable, resourced, easy-to-understand discussions about current event. The hosts two incredibly smart and informed women. I love the undertone of hope, and the message of being able —in community— to steer things in the right direction. It’s (political) news done in a way I never thought it could be done. Thank you so much, Amanda and Jessica.

Thank you so much for your beautiful and kind way to share so many difficult conversations and news stories. It helps all of us process, find encouragement, and hope. Thank you for your thoughtfulness and wisdom!

I used to love this podcast and feel like it provided so much value. I used to listen to every episode. Lately, it has become really political and news focused - it’s really become a different podcast with “best of” replays interspersed. Sad to see the change up on listeners. The content used to be relatable, comforting, and empowering. Sadly will be moving on to other content at this point.

Love the topics covered in this pod, and love the dynamic between Glennon, Abby and Amanda. Feels like sitting down with good friends for coffee and meaningful conversations.

The episodes on High Functioning Codependents and one on being left out shook me to my core. Thank you for giving my pain a name

My daughter told me about this great Podcast that she listens to and said I’d really like it and she was RIGHT! I love you women and your down to earth, very, very smart voices are a breath of fresh air. I just listened to the Kelly Clarkson episode and now I love her too! Thanks so much for breathing life into my stale Pod lineup!

I did not want to like this podcast. I do not know why I did not want to like this podcast, but I did not want to like it. Well, I do not like it. I freaking love it. I did not know any of the people involved in the podcast, other than a guest or two, when I was looking for something to listen to in the car. Now, I actually follow this podcast and am working my way through the older episodes. Perhaps this podcast surfaced at a time when I needed to hear some of the things that were being said. I do not know if the episodes would have resonated with my younger self. At 50, I get it. As a divorced person from a 20 year marriage, I get it. As a woman, I get it. Life, grief, love, death, trying to be comfortable in my own skin…all the things are covered. Sometimes, it is an uncomfortable episode, guest, or comment that sits in my thoughts for hours/days afterward. Sometimes, Glennon says something that I was thinking. Sometimes, Amanda makes so much sense in the moment that the synchronicity is dazzling. Sometimes, Abby comments in a way that makes me wonder if we are related (after all, we were born on the same day/different year and in the same town). Sometimes, a guest will tell a story that makes me think they read my journal. Or, all of these things happen. I will most likely never meet these three women, but I connect with what they say, how they struggle, and what they learn. Our lives are very different…except we are all dealing with living in the best way we can. Listening feels familiar, and it makes me remember that I am not alone in this journey, even when I am the only one I see.

I’m part of a handful of queer/female/non-binary welders who listen to y’all everyday for 10+hrs on end. Fabrication can be so difficult and tedious, but the podcast helps us remain balanced. We pass the time and work on ourselves simultaneously! Thank you!

I listen everyday. I have found my own story in so many of these episodes. I feel like I’m a better therapist because of the depth and resources this pod has provided! So deeply grateful to Glennon, Abby, and Amanda for all they bring to the world 🩷and the guests they have carefully and thoughtfully selected !

2 years into listening and I haven’t stopped learning AND laughing. They make hard things easy. I feel a little crazy sometimes because I feel like they are my closest friends but they make me feel better about being crazy and that’s the whole point of this podcast… figuring out your crazy but your not crazy alone and thats kinda funny and sweet.

Thank you, Glennon, Amanda and Abby for giving me hope at a time that feels so hopeless. Thank you for curating such special and forward-thinking guests. You have helped shape the way I mother, the way I am in partnership with my husband, and the way I show up in friendship. Thank you.

This is the most genuine, candid, insightful podcast ever created! I have listened to all episodes and some multiple times. I appreciate the point of view that Glennon, Abby, and Sister each bring and enjoyed all of the learning that I have done about myself with their help.

I overall don’t mind Calm News but why frame it as if this podcast is the only source of information listeners have about what’s going on in the world? Jessica and Amanda are smart people but aren’t experts on every topic and acting like we just want your take on the news then will go back to our impossibly hard lives with no access to other information is condescending. Also don’t need Amanda’s 7 minute summary about what the conversation will be about beforehand like we have no clue about anything. Unfortunately this feels emblematic of the mission creep WCDHT has overall. It can’t just be interesting conversations about some hard topics. It has to be the podcast that will save YOU and THE COUNTRY and now I guess the world. Sorry but this is how the content increasingly comes off.

Every time I think I’ve head my favorite episode - you keep getting better! You heal me - and perhaps many others -with every great episode and amazing guests! ❤️

Love each and every show have shared with my girlfriends too !! Great show and content!! Love being part of the pod squad!

We can do hard things. We can. Right at the moment when we need it most-Abby, Glennon, and Amanda remind us of this. It’s like a favorite treat but for your heart and soul.

loooove thank you for sharing your light ❤️🕯️

I know many people love the Calm News, I see its value in the present moment AND I wish it were a separate Podcast. Every time I see the calm news episode pop up I feel anything but calm, I feel forced into a reminder of the chaos we’re living in and the worst of what is out there. WCDHT and the pod squad used to be something I turned to be in community on a soul level, to grow in my humanity, to have a balance of hard things to do (and easy things remember when we did easy things sometimes?) Now it’s just a weekly reminder of the GIANT MESS of political hard things we’re doing and that’s doesn’t feel aligned with the spirit of WCDHT where we talk about the totality of the vulnerable, beautiful, messy, and meaningful human experience. What’s happening to us? Why did we let this precious space get so overcome with the news?

I don’t remember where I heard about your podcast, but I’m glad I did. The name grabbed me because I used to tell my daughter she could do hard things. Scary things, too. I still have to say those things to myself, as well. Even an elder like me can get a lot out of your discussions! I’m a little sorry women are dealing with so many of the same issues we tried to conquer all those decades ago. But I think each generation adds a layer of understanding to the reasons and ways to overcome. You are teaching this crone, and reminding me how to be fully me.

Jessica’s theories about Wisconsin are wrong. I voted for Crawford as WI Supreme Court justice, but I still support most of what Trump is doing and what Musk is doing with Doge. My choice for judge in Wisconsin had nothing to do with Trump or Musk. What is does have to with is that I am woman in Wisconsin who understands that the decisions surrounding woman’s healthcare are now a state decision. Although it’s hard for me to say abortion should be legal for anyone at anytime, I do think it’s needs to be a choice. Many of my republican friends feel the same way. But Jessica is making very broad assumptions about the election outcome and people’s views that are likely not true. That seems to the problem with the entire Democratic Party. Keeping this in mind might help you focus on issues, different views and possibilities for the party that are not so black and white.

Hard to find the words for the power of that episode. New listener giving y’all 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for every episode I love. It seems like it’s going to be a lot of reviews I’m going to give you. Keep it up!

Yes we can do hard things. I have been fighting terminal ovarian cancer for 3 years 10 months and 16 days. To say it has been a grind is an understatement. One of the phrases I repeat in my mind is WE CAN DO HARD THINGS. Thank you for encouraging messages and thoughtful insights in to navigating this life experience.

These three women and their amazing guests really go there—sharing openheartedly about their inner and outer lives, about issues that face many of us. I love hearing how they continue to grow and thrive in the face of challenges. (Also, they are hilarious.) I laugh and cry and nod my head when I listen. I have been inspired to do a few hard things myself! ❤️❤️❤️

Encouraging and action oriented. Factual. Loved the interview with Jessica Yellin breaking down the Signal debacle.

I’ve loved this podcast from the beginning and I love the weekly news episodes. Thank you!

I love We Can Do Hard Things and have learned so much over the years. I’m loving the new addition of Calm News which has been so helpful in these crazy times we are in. I will keep listening and growing. Thank you for adding this!

Thank you, thank you, thank you for bringing Calm News into our world. Like many of us, I’ve wondered how to both stay tuned to what matters and keep my energy and nervous system in a place of service and not despair. Your podcast is the answer. I am quick to share it with friends and family who all have the same experience. Thank you to Jessica and the pod squad team for producing this weekly.

I’ve been a long time reader, recent listening binger, and forever admirer of We Can Do Hard Things. The conversational topics you all bounce around feel as if you’re speaking directly to me at times, and the way you all talk to each other + your guests feels so familiar. I know for a fact we’d all be besties if we had ever met, so it feels like talking to friends when I’m listening and talking to myself in response haha. Much appreciated, much loved, and I look forward to all the episodes to come. -kort 💟

I used to love this podcast, but it’s gotten increasingly less interesting and insightful. It used to feel like real discoveries were happening, difficult conversations were being had, and important voices were being amplified. Now it feels like Glennon (especially), Abby, and Amanda are just out of touch. Also, it often feels like they’re talking down to us, the audience. Like “let’s breakdown it down really simply so everyone can understand what we already get.” I used to listen to episodes more than once. Now I often find myself turning it off before I’ve gotten all the way through it.

Calm News is the level-headed, real discussion that I need every week to navigate this dumpster fire. Thank you!!

I don’t want to be the kind of person who writes a negative review, but here I am. My hope is that it is helpful feedback, rather than a burn. I came for here for sisterhood, intimate personal stories, mental health talk, feeling more normal, inspiration, connection…but this has become a news outlet. And though I like the idea—It’s not calm news for me—such an oxymoron. It adds to my anxiety, and I get enough of that elsewhere. So for that reason, I’m out (for now). Love to you all.

I feel incredibly lucky to be here and hear these women. What an age we live in that we can connect with such incredible minds…I feel you three are like my soul sister heros and I’m just so grateful. I think I can handle most of what life throws at me with what I’ve gleaned here and I just want to say thank you. I need to come in and edit my review to also say the Calm News has been a game changer for me staying informed. Thank you for allowing me to stay informed and maintain my sanity!

There are many things I love about this podcast- the Yellen updates being one of them. I would just say that it's super hypocritical to take ad revenue from Whole Foods which is in partnership with Amazon while simultaneously telling people to think carefully about where they shop. Put your money where your mouth is guys. If you're asking the "podsquad" to do this, you should be doing it too.
