MacKenzie’s podcasts are encouraging and authentic.

I love this podcast. So inspiring and fun and real life advice for moms!!

I have been listening to the pod since early 2022 and have never taken the time to write a review- until now. MacKenzie, thank you so much for sharing this latest episode. I was just reading “Oh the Places You’ll Go” to my (4) kids and the line “unslumping yourself is not easily done” got me choked up. I’ve been in a slump too. Even as a married gal, I relate so much to your single mom struggles since my husband has ADHD. It’s so isolating and the weight feels crushing sometimes. Thank you for sharing from your heart and for giving some practical ideas to listeners who can’t muster up the energy for any creative thought. I would love to hear you share more about your “Live Well Anyway” (I love that title, by the way) story and the ways in which you found support and courage to move through the tougher seasons. A big hug to you, and much gratitude.

Heard you loud and clear in this weeks podcast…I listen every week and have for years, even if the topic doesn’t specifically pertain to me…I always find a nugget of either something to try or a new perspective! Keep it up!

Really enjoying this podcast!

I have been listening to the Live Well Anyway podcast for a few years now…right after she rebranded from Cultivating The Lovely. I find the vast majority of MacKenzie’s topics very relatable as a working mom. I really enjoy the way she trends towards a more holistic approach, but in an achievable way. My favorite episodes are her “like a grown lady” ones and anything else with Katie Duckett as well. I’m always excited to see a new episode release :)

I enjoy MacKenzie's personality, and her planning style resonates with me. Her recent episode on brain dumps (Season 2, Episode 98) is gold. I went through MacKenzie's 4-week planning cohort, and having her walk me through her brain dump process was my favorite part of the cohort. The idea of doing a brain dump was not new to me, but her way of digitizing my entire list so I'm not ignoring the low priority items really resonated with me. I love having my big brain dump in Trello to work from, as she describes on the podcast.

I enjoy many of the topics however it's hard to persevere over one person talking over the other. Unfortunately In my opinion, if the host could peel back the chatty to let the other talk that'd help!

Great information and so relevant!

So good!!

While I like the general content of the podcast, since switching names, she doesn’t really bring up Christ into any of her content anymore. I’m not sure if things have changed in that area of her life, but I loved that she used to bring so much back to Christ.

I listen to this while sewing during my kids nap time. I really enjoy it. I’m an expat mom living in Africa and I miss my old community but this helps

I’m loving this show! First of all, “live well anyway” is such an awesome mantra for your day to day life. It’s so easy to get frustrated when things aren’t going the way you planned - but this is an amazing reminder to make the best of it! Beyond that… this show is chock full of actionable advice and really engaging conversations. MacKenzie has the best podcasting voice - you can tell she’s a voice actor! Highly recommend listening and subscribing!

This is one of my favorite podcasts! Mackenzie and Katie are always positive, authentic and, most importantly, make me laugh.

Loved this episode! Made me want to start investing more into myself to feel more womanly!

I love MacKenzie! She is funny and entertaining, but also brings so much helpful and meaningful information to her episodes. I like to think that we'd be best friends if we lived closer to each other ;)

MacKenzie's story about being able to pivot and start again as a single mom instantly made me want to tune into the podcast. She doesn't make excuses and she encourages you to do the same. Taking action-even when it's messy means you learn something, and that's true in my experience too.

I absolutely LOVE Live Well Anyway! Every single podcast is so inspiring and motivating and makes you feel like you are so supported and surrounded. It is truly a wonderful community hosted by such incredible people. I 100000% recommend! :))

I was a fan of Cultivating the Lovely, and Live Well Anyway has the same cheerful spirit, humor, and helpful ideas. The podcasts feel like spending time with a friend! Knowing that she can craft an intentional, enjoyable life as a single mom with 4 kids is super inspiring.

Love this podcast. Makenzie’s rapport with her guests is always so nice. Like we’re all gathered for coffee and learning something good along the way.

Listened to numerous episodes. All of them are over half advertisements. I get being sponsored, but it was just way too much.

I listens for over 12 minutes and more than half of that was advertising. I was pretty disappointed.

This is one of the few podcasts that are a must listen for me. The audio quality is amazing. The topics are thought provoking and fun. Give Cultivating The Lovely a try, you will not be disapointed.

This is an uplifting inspiring podcast that will make you feel great after listening. It is about finding all the lovely blessings life has to offer and how to attain them.

I listen to a lot of podcasts on homeschooling and homemaking, and this is by far my favorite.

I loved listening to your Flower/Flour Therapy episodes!! Both topics are my favorite hobbies - I, too, have recently started baking with my own sourdough starter (Louise 🙂). Thank you for sharing this beautiful, informative conversation and all the laughter that came with it. Just the sunshine I needed on a cloudy WI day.

I’m not in the homeschool world and I’m not a mom, but I still feel discipled by this godly podcast!

I enjoy the variety of topics and interviews. I'm a mama of 5 and tune in while I fold laundry. Thanks MacKenzie!

I still find this podcast encouraging and relevant as a single, professional woman.

I love all the different people she interviews and their endless resources!

I’m so excited for Wednesday’s bc that’s the day CTL releases. Give it a listen, you’ll be hooked too!

I’m a busy mom of littles, and love McKenzie’s podcast (and her Patreon group). The topics she covers encourages and inspires me to do better and be better, and gives me fresh perspective to look up and out—even in survival mode.

Such a great podcast! Love MacKenzie’s honesty and humor! It’s full of practical wisdom and interesting interviews!

Love this podcast! Mackenzie does an excellent job of interviewing her guests in a way that sounds natural and is informative and entertaining. Her topics are wonderful too. I have been enjoying listening and learning :).

This podcast is great for bringing a little bit of beauty to your day. The guests are always great and Mackenzie’s interviews are flawless. This is a great podcast for women of any age. Thanks Mackenzie for all your hard work and inspiring women to work towards being a little more lovely.

MacKenzie is exquisite! I've listened to CTL for the past few years. Every episode is relevant, helpful, uplifting, and inspiring. I always walk away with either a smile on my face (MacKenzie is FUNNY!) or in my heart.

I came upon this podcast because I follow author Robin Jones Gunn on Instagram and saw that she was being interviewed. I will definitely be tuning in to other episodes! I love the casual conversational feel, and the topics are relevant for me. I did find the audio a bit inconsistent at times, but that is my only criticism.

Cultivating the Lovely makes me look forward to Wednesdays! MacKenzie is so good at finding a variety of topics and people to interview. It’s always fresh and interesting and I have gotten so many new books to read, podcasters to listen to, and awesome life hacks! The podcast is casual enough to listen to while cooking, cleaning, and driving kids around, but deep enough that I usually re-listen to episodes to catch everything that is discussed. It’s my favorite podcast and I highly recommend it!!

I listen to every new episode!!

MacKenzie is the sister friend I enjoy listening to chat about her newest inspirational writer discoveries! When I’m needing to get through mundane tasks or need some girl talk I turn to my podcast friend and get inspired to live more richly. Thanks for the energy and vulnerability that you bring to each episode! Well done, fast paced, good variety, full content!!!

I love Mackenzie’s podcast! This is my go to when I need just a few minutes to escape and be kindly reminded to reflect on the positive of this crazy season of life. Thank you so much for these moments of laughter and introspection whole relating to other Moms. 💗

It’s hard for me to get into a lot of podcasts, but I recently started listening to this one (starting from episode 1!) . I am so enjoying it! Lots of variety in the content. I have listened to multiple episodes in one day. I’ll keep listening...& will be upset when I catch up to the current episodes! Lol

I love podcasts, and this one is my absolute favorite. This podcast has helped me so much as a 1st generation Christian parent. It makes me look forward to doing dishes, car rides, etc, and feeds my soul. Mackenzie is so down to earth, genuine and motivating! This podcast adds so much to my life. -came back to post again, because this year has been the toughest year of my life. Mackenzie, I just don’t know how you do it. Your content is so consistently amazing, and I may just go through and listen to all of the episodes over again. Narrowing down my podcasts and this one will forever be on top. You are walking through a tough season with so much grace and hope, and it gives me hope and inspires me. Thank you so much.

I have been listening to this podcast for a couple years now, and really enjoy Mackenzie!

Love this podcast! MacKenzie does an excellent job of interviewing her guests, and sharing a variety of interesting, informative and fun topics. I listened to several different shows trying to find some podcasts to follow, and this is the only one I still listen to regularly.

I can always except an uplifting episode. So thankful for a community that knows we can always find something lovely in life

I love listening to this podcast every week. The content is refreshing and I LOVE the encouragement to cultivate the lovely amidst joys and hardships. Thanks MacKensie!!!

I love this podcast so much! It is so encouraging and uplifting. Thank you for all you do!

Words can't describe how much I love this. It's encouraging and uplifting and really delves into the heart of Christian motherhood and home. I've been convicted and challenged to "be bold and gracious" every day. It’s also just fun to listen to! 3 years in and it continues to be my favorite podcast.

Great varied content. Honest. Real. Entertaining. Love.
