I love this podcast. I have listened over the last couple of years. It has been my go-to for long walks in the park during quarantine. Robyn offers methods and steps that are tangible and actionable. I don’t think I have found that with most other “wellness” platforms. My favorite episodes are with her alone, not with external guests. Appreciate that her advice is backed up by research! I hope she brings new episodes back in the future.

I fell upon Robyn’s instagram and checked out her podcast and was immediately inspired. She’s super intelligent, positive, and creative. I listen to the podcast on my lunch break (I have a little one at home so it’s a good time and uninterrupted) and am filled with ideas on how to add little things to my daily routine to help me feel good. Robyn is inspiring and also is just “real” - she knows we all have good and bad days, but there are many ways to brighten them up.

I listen to your show on my way to work. It’s such a positive start to my day and I love learning about so many topics that help in life. Thank you!

For me, the combination of science about decision making, habits, and wellness is so perfect and helpful. Robyn really does bring a “real” life to the myriad of useful and inspiring topics. I’ve only been listening for a year or so and am already going to the beginning of the podcast and listening to all the earlier episodes that interest me.

This is one of my top three favorite podcasts! I’ve been listening for over a year now after a fellow health coach friend recommended it. Wow, what a difference it has made in my life and in the lives of my clients. Robyn is real and down to earth. She offers practical tips for how to make real, lasting change. Her book the Feel Good Effect is an incredible resource as well, particularly for those of us who are (recovering) perfectionists.

I’ve been listening to this podcast for years now and I love it so much! I feel so lucky to have found it! This is one of the rare wellness spaces I’ve found that takes into account our humanity and chaos and has actually spurred some big changes for me! Also, I just caught your most recent episode on having an only child and I can’t tell you how much I needed to hear it! I have an 8 yr old son and we are very happy in our choice to remain a family of 3! I waffled for a long time but I have recently come to the realization that this is best for us. It’s always affirming to hear from parents that have made the same choice! Not because it’s the “right” choice but because it was right for them! Thank you for what you’re putting out there, RCD ♥️⚡️♥️

I am not big on self help stuff. I love Robyn's approach to wellness though! Simple, actionable, evidence based!

I really wanted to like this podcast and listen to it but the host just kept promoting her business or products throughout. It kept distracting from the topic and took a long time to get to the point.

The name says it all…if you want tips & inspiration about how to feel good every day, in an accessible and sustainable way, this show is the place. Robyn has deeply influenced my thinking and, more importantly, my daily practices. I’m living a life that feels so much more aligned with my most important values and priorities. Thank you, Robyn!

Robin hasn't missed a beat! Her episodes are always timely, inspiring, and make you feel that you CAN do this! I'm so grateful for the resources she shares that have helped me shift my mindset in a healthy way. This podcast is for all 💛 ep 223 bad day backup plan was a game changer. Thank you Robin!!

I absolutely love Robyn and her message! I look forward to her podcast every week and her instagram and blog are wonderful as well. She has amazing and inspiring guests on the podcast and covers relatable topics. She provides super simple actionable steps for integrating wellness into your daily life in kind and supporting way. I have become so much more gentler and kinder to myself and am better able to recognize when I’m falling to the trap of all or nothing thinking and perfectionism. Thank you Robyn for all that you do, I hope you know that your hard work is benefiting a lot of people!

Thanks for another great show, Robyn. Just listened to “What to Focus on in February” and you mentioned doing your workout in front of your gas fireplace. GENIUS. I’ve been trying to think of ways to recreate my hot yoga experience when I’m not in class, and can’t believe I never thought of this. :) Thanks! Also made your spicy cabbage soup last week. Delish! (Took out the meat for veggie option and it was great!) Keep up the great work! Abbey

I love each and every episode! I just ordered her book and can’t wait to read AND implement her strategies. I am older (63) and wish I had access to this wisdom 30 years ago. But, I am starting TODAY! No more decision fatigue for me.

Longtime listener chiming in to praise this empowering, realistic approach to wellness, administered one podcast at a time. I have gotten so much out of my time listening to and reading Robyn’s work. A better way to approach goal setting, a more forgiving attitude toward myself and others, new habits, a customized approach to feeling my best. Such a fan. Thanks Robyn!

I have enjoyed Robyn Conley Downs podcast as well as her book, The Feel Good Effect, so much! This is one of the most life-giving resources that I have come across regarding health and wellness. Jump in! You won’t be disappointed!

I appreciate this woman so much! I found her podcast through a friend nearly 4 years ago and always come away feeling uplifted and enlightened. She’s a true example of authenticity and kindness. Give it a listen. You’ll find comfort and encouragement here, friends.

I love this podcast and put her book on my Amazon list. Robin is so down to earth & has already helped my mindset about health and wellness, especially that it’s not all or nothing! Exercise snacking - brilliant. You should definitely subscribe.

I love this podcast and the consistent positive message. Robyn is a gift with the research and compassion she brings to every show.

The information is good and practical and I think practical. Unfortunately I just listened to three episodes in a row and the complaining that it is free and doesn’t get enough interaction on Instagram gets old. Yes it is free content but it’s the nature of sharing podcasts. Please ease up on those who are looking for good info and can’t buy every book someone writes. Good reviews do NOT come from high pressure to “interact” or “give 5 stars” they come from enjoying the content.

I started listening to podcasts 5 years ago, and the Feel Good Effect is the ONLY podcast I still listen to consistently. I have gone through many seasons of taking care of myself—the good and the bad, and Robyn’s insight is the only voice that can bring me back to my best self. I fall victim to “all or nothing” thinking often, but Robyn has taught me so much on how to combat this! Her approach is the most realistic when it comes to maintaining FEELING GOOD! I will always recommend the Feel Good Effect to friends and family!

I love everything Robyn puts into the world. Her website is filled with amazing content and her book is not only useful and refreshing, but gorgeous to read. That said, Robyn’s podcast brings everything together in one place and you get a glimpse of her personality. She’s the real deal living the life that she writes about. Down to earth and realistic and practical and gentle for all of us trying to feel good in this life.

I have been listening to this podcast since January and it (along with her book) has changed my life. If you haven't listened to this podcast and you are interested in wellness, true self-care and habits...this is the podcast for you. Robyn and her work are amazing. This week's episode was so timely. I refer back to your episode with Kelly McGonigal often - and I needed this right now because I just finished an extra busy couple months where I could rarely find time to include movement in my day. Can't wait to hear the next installment. I really appreciate this deep dive into movement and habit and good reasons to do it...that are not weight loss. All the other wonderful reasons that are about our actual health.

I tried 5 of Robyn’s autumn meal capsule recipes last week. The people I feed loved them. When I told them they were all from the same place, they said I should make more of them! Thanks Robyn!

This podcast has been such a beneficial addition to my outdoor walks. It is filled with extremely tactical tips for how to make changes to improve your life without getting overwhelmed! It is a no judgment zone that truly does make you feel optimistic and helps understand what you can control to help yourself through current stressors in your life.

Big changes are overwhelming. Being someone with Executive Functioning issues, I love how this podcast gives tips for small changes in a way that makes the journey easier to start.

I so love listening to the Feel Good Effect! I have only been listening for a few months but I am a huge fan of the themes, concepts, approach and attitude around how to feel good every day. And the ideas are really simple making the follow thru easy and fun. I have almost finished Robyn’s book with the same name and I am amazed at how relatable and foundational the principles are to shifting my mindset - gentle is the new perfect for sure!! My approach to not only wellness and health but my relationships and career have all benefited from these podcasts and book. I listen in my car, back and forth to work and running errands. I can’t wait for the next episode each week and really missed it for that time in August and September when there was a pause! The capsule meal plans, capsule wardrobe, the 1 minute meal prep recent episode and many others on easy steps to take to make less decisions or improve mindset or lessen stress are my favorites! Working my way backwards thru them all!!

Just found your podcast this morning as I was doing a little dinner prep. Didn’t realize the method of cooking once had a name to it. I’ve done it before and the joy of having enough of some thing to make into another meal later in the week is real. I was cooking some chicken in my Insta pot for dinner and realized that this method of cooking extra protein once and then having two meals is something I can utilize more often to simplify. Could’ve just done it this morning. But I’ve learned and I’m going to do it next time. Thank you for your wonderful guest speaker. I’ll definitely be listening again.

This podcast is much needed for the busy modern day mom. I love “gentle is the new perfect” to be able to find simple ways to make life a bit easier or be more kind by changing the mindset. Her book is also a recommendation that opened my mind! Here is to stretching your mind to things you didn’t know possible.

I adore this podcast. The guests and topics are varied and science based with so many actionable ways to make progress and be mindful of wellness. Robyn is incredibly accepting and offers so many no guilt ways to evaluate and make small steps toward your version of being healthy. I find myself nodding my head, laughing out loud, and even having rather strong emotions in response to her words, her kindness and her willingness to be real with her community. Being a part of this community is like having the most supportive best friend who’s always there. Just press play and you will be hooked.

I wish I’d come across this podcast earlier! It has a magical quality to it — everything from Robyn’s input and direction, to her wonderful guests (researchers, writers, speakers…), to the commitment to simplifying healthier and more present living just speaks to my soul. This podcast is an absolute gift. I leave each episode having learned something new (yay research!) and feeling uplifted.

I’m not kidding! Robyn brings so much value in each episode. Her science-backed mental health information is profoundly helpful if you take the time to apply it. Many of the guests are leading cognitive and behavioral researchers who want to help us all understand the why and how our brains do what they do. I’ve read several of the books the show recommends and they do not disappoint. Dr. Elizabeth Stanley’s episode and book are game-changers if you suffer from anxiety. I love that everything Robyn discusses is scientifically proven and research-based. Plus, she does a wonderful job of making all of it accessible to the average person who isn’t a clinical psychologist. I am forever grateful that I found this podcast and subsequently Robyn’s book of the same name — which I also highly recommend! Her soothing voice and gentle approach make listening to each episode a joy.

This podcast is such a breath of fresh air. It’s positive, practical, and research based. I like that Robyn focuses on reducing all or nothing thinking. Well worth a listen.

Never miss an episode. Robin’s voice is so calming and her ideas are simple and easy to implement but always work!

Just can’t say enough about this podcast. I have been sharing it with everyone I know that is looking to make small shifts for making habits stick. I love how Robin makes research accessible to those who might not understand it. Keep the good ideas coming. I can’t get enough.

I look forward every week to hear. I love that it’s all about what makes you feel Healthy and to get awesome tips and expert advise.

This is the best podcast! Thank you, Robyn!!! ❤️

I love, love, love this podcast! I subscribe to a few, but this one is my go-to and I’m all caught up (unlike some of the others). All of Robyn’s topics seem relevant to me, and she is a good interviewer.

I look forward to this every week. Episodes are highly relevant and Robyns voice is so calming. Not only does she know what she’s talking about, I love that she asks the right questions when she has guests (she has awesome guests). Give this a try it is SO GOOD.

Robyn takes science-backed concepts and teaches practical strategies to improve quality of life. She incorporates intelligent discussions with authors and experts with her own research and presents it in an easy-to-understand way. This podcast perfectly complements The Feel Good Effect book, and I greatly enjoy listening to it.

I’ve been listening to Robyn’s podcast for years and I always come back to episodes I miss even if it’s months later. Highly recommend!

I started listening to this podcast in December 2020 and was hooked . Robyn has a joyful presence, friendly demeanor and a non judgmental and welcoming voice. So many great episodes full of small shifts that lead to change.

I’ve been listening to Robyn for years. I first found her website through her delicious and amazing recipes. I look forward to this weekly podcast, excited to read the brief overview for each episode to know what I’m in store for. Robyn‘s voice is so soothing and calming. I wish all the podcasts I listen too had Robyn’s voice 🤣 I also appreciate all the free content she provides throughout the year, whether it be for meal planning, grocery shopping or simple organization.

The content is well thought out and interesting. I truly enjoy this podcast every week.

Love the simplicity behind this concept! In total “Awww”over your willingness to share such amazing recipes. Can’t wait to try them. Truly love your podcast and it always leaves me feeling better and uplifted. Keep up the great work!

I first learned about Robyn through interviews by my other two favorites, Sadie Lincoln

I enjoy listening to each episode. The content is interesting and relevant for our time and is presented in a way that the listener feels like they can actually achieve (if action is required). The guests are also inspiring - loved the most recent episode with Gina Hamadey. Thank you! 😊

I am grateful I found this podcast today! I was looking for something to help with my mindset in this new chapter of my life and this one spoke to me.

Thank you for this podcast. I found you through your interview with Phoebe LaPine. I immediately connected with your message and have been trying to incorporate some of the practices you discuss. Your podcast is enjoyable, inspiring and motivating.

I am here to express gratitude for this podcast, Robyn and all of the knowledge guests on the show. If you need some gentle guidance in your mental health space and practice, you have come to the right place!

Taking a few minutes to share another 5 star review. The boundaries episode with Nedra was excellent! Her definition of crisis brought tears to my eyes as I was brought back to the feelings of when I was in crisis years ago, BUT it also resonated with my strong sense of self today and a knowing that while I may be stressed today, I am NOT in crisis, and thankfully, neither are the stressed people around me. We’re just stressed, and we’ve all got skills and tools to help each other with that. What a gift this morning with my coffee - thank you! I also loved Robyn’s personal family story about receiving news texts during the day. Had the exact same experience yesterday, and now I’ve got new ideas on how I can set up a boundary, and how my husband and I can connect more deeply... after the work day. Thank you! Oh, and the fake zoom story with the kids was hilarious, and Nedra’s comments about gaming and being ok with losing was refreshing. Amen to not winning at everything. Just bought Nedra’s book on audio and am going to re-read Robyn’s book and do the exercises in a few weeks. Both are gonna help me get through my upcoming, post-breast cancer reconstruction surgery, and HEAL, and focus on moving forward and Feeling Good. Thank you, Robyn and Nedra. Namaste.
