I love the topics and guests on this show. As a therapist it keeps me inspired with with new wisdom, information, and perspectives to help myself and others. The ripple impact of a show like this is amazing. I love the hosts back story and his vulnerability sharing. Thank you for this great show! :)

A friend recommended this podcast. I’ve been binging a bit and absolutely love it. While much of the content is a bit “woo woo”, Eric always brings it back to the concrete and life applicable.

I love your show, but am disappointed that you are advertising for Starbucks, which is an awful company. Please research the companies you advertise & how they interact with the world & their employees.

Recently came across the One You Feed podcast and love it! Each episode has quality content! Really appreciated your conversation with Greg Kretch. Didn't know anything about Japanese therapy and learned so much! This is an amazing episode that really resonated with me. The 3 questions to ask yourself about relationships was so good! Tons of amazing takeaways.

I had this podcast stored in my library for quite a while before I listened to it and finally listened to my first episode and am totally hooked! Eric is such a wonderful interviewer and the guests have been so helpful for me at this time in my life. I’m also a recovering addict and my husband is in a rehab facility as I write this review starting his journey to recovery and I’ve just gained so much from this podcast. Thank you so much for everything you do Eric and please keep them coming!

This podcast is very insightful, and I do enjoy it. Unfortunately, I’m not able to listen to it as often as I would like because I use my podcast time to wind down at the end of the day. The rock music / electric guitar doesn’t feel congruent for the mood that I am in when I want to listen to this show. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy rock music, if I am getting ready to work out, do chores, or go to a social gathering. But, when I’m in a contemplative mood and trying to listen to something meaningful, it’s disturbing to hear the rock music. Then, I need to turn off the podcast to keep myself from feeling irritated. Also, the parable is cool at the beginning at first, but over time I am getting really tired of hearing it over and over with each guest. I think it’s fine to describe it at the beginning introduction, but at this point, asking each guest to have to answer that question is starting to feel a bit redundant, and I just would prefer to get on with the show. I know others may feel differently and I am sorry to be sounding negative…. For the most part, I really enjoy the show which is why I wanted to provide this feedback. Thank you for all your hard work creating this show… I really value the meaningful content you share with us. ❤️

This podcast features intelligent conversation on a variety of topics each exploring the path to a better life. The host is smart, informed and well prepared and the variety of guests makes each week unique while the opening parable provides a consistent structure and starting point for the conversation. Give it a listen. You’ll definitely learn something.

I think this is one of the most relevant podcasts out there for living your best life. I always learn something new from listening that helps me be at my best. Bravo Eric and team! O-H!

Been listening for a number of years and still love Eric and his incredible interview skills. He is so intuitive in knowing what listeners want to know. I love the consistency of the parable at the beginning of each episode and I love the music because it is homegrown and unique in that he and his best friend create it together - it actually is really sweet that a podcast as successful as this keeps the original homegrown feel. I appreciate that Eric is authentic in his sharing of his own life experiences with listeners.

What a great hear I listen to this over and over Excellent

This has been a favorite podcast of mine for years and even after all this time I am still always learning something new from Eric and his guests. Eric is a superb interviewer and host and the conversations are always fresh, engaging and useful. The One You Feed podcast has been a light for me during some really dark times and a constant source of inspiration and wisdom. I’m very grateful!

Just listened to latest episode, was initially annoyed that Eric had his girlfriend on again, but realized with Eric’s insecurities she’s a huge support, & driving force. Looking forward to the eventuation of her as the host. Also agree with the other reviewers that reading out the parable Every Single episode gets so irritating having to fast forward through it. That and the ‘music’ breaks erratically thrown in. Hopefully once Ginny is official there will be a revamp! Still, it’s good content and Eric’s vulnerable honesty on his lack of expertise on topics other than addiction has been a helpful way to reinforce the practice of beneficial habits.

Liked this podcast without funny—she fills the space way too much and does t slow a meditative conversation—she made me nervous so couldn’t listen. Sorry.

The metaphor at the beginning of each episode is so repetitive. It takes away the focus of the topic and becomes annoying when you hear it too much. The music is so awful as well. These two factors make me not want to listen to another episode.

I love the range of guests invited on to the show. Each one has valuable and actionable wisdom to share.

Great podcast of deep thinking and mindful conversations.

Every time I listen to this podcast, I take notes and learn something new. I just listened to the episode with Jenny Blake. My big take away was COURAGE FOLLOWS ACTION. As a therapist, this is so true!! You will appreciate giving your time to listen. Do it! Now, I’ve just finished listening to Minaa B. Wow! Powerful!

Thanks for the amazing range of guests that all share great teachings and wisdom. From Millman to Sinek and everyone else along the way. Really enjoy your interview style. I heard you on the SHAIR podcast and was taken with your story. Thanks for being that open. Keep up the great work !

Eckhart is great to listen to for the destination we seek. This podcast gives us the tools to get to that destination. Down to earth, usable information which I find highly entertaining.

Eric’s insightful chats with a variety of experts offer an engaging balance of practicality and depth, making it a compelling listen for anyone looking to bring a bit more light into their life. - Ash & The Capsho Team

I have not listened to much of this podcast, but based on the episodes about “abuses of power” the advice is sound and intelligent, insightful and reasonable as well as applicable to most anyone. Those patient enough to listen will likely find advice worth hearing.

I truly Loved and Appreciated listening to Jenny and Eric’s conversation this week 💛💙 When having to have those difficult conversations with the ones you love most …. 🥺🥹❤️ 🥹❤️ Thank you Both for sharing and doing what you do. So grateful 💛

Very informative and helpful for daily life, especially when I listen the last episode I really want to write a review. Thank you so much for your valuable effort!!

Cover isn’t friendly and a turn off.

Excellent, uplifting, inspiring!

I just started listening/binging this podcast. The interview with John Norcross on How To Make Lasting Changes is awesome. There are so many actionable nuggets of wisdom that I am relistening to absorb them all. I cannot get enough!!!

I am really enjoying this entire series. Every episode brings a different insight a different view on another’s experience. I think it’s important and entertaining and definitely not singular in its approach. Highly recommended to anyone interested in learning more about themselves on how to approach your feelings how to expand what you think you know and finding hidden gems when you least expect it.

I discovered Eric’s podcast around 2015. I have been so grateful to see if evolve over the years. I appreciate the variety and depth presented here, which in my mind separates it from the vast number of “behavior change” podcasts out there. And as a psychotherapist, Eric and his guests offer me new ways to relate to client challenges and those of the many parts of myself. Grateful.

I was listening to a podcast and there were at least 2-3 commercials. Very annoying.

Eric does a great job of coming from his own place of transformation in a way that is relatable and implementable. After 25 years in this field I have seen many coaches and facilitators doing a lot of podcasts - this one really gets it. Thank you!

Wonderful host, wonderful guests. I so appreciate Eric’s calming voice and great insights. I resonate with most of the guests and always prefer the ones who don’t speak too quickly and have a calm presence. Thank you, Eric!

Favorite podcast, concise depth. One glitch today: The Judson Brewer episode ( late Dec22) cuts off around last 11min, but went to website to finish it .

This is one of, if not, my favorite podcast. Eric has an amazing voice. His questions are pertinent and to the point without ever being rude. The topics are interesting with a variety of guests. 35 years ago my young son came home from school after getting in trouble …I asked him Why? He simply replied “Mom I have a red David on one shoulder and a white David on the other”. Feed the good one son.

I like to read. However I’m a mother with two kids and sometimes it’s easier to listen to a podcast than to read. I take my child on walks to nap and listen to this podcast. This podcast often re centers me after the normal chaos of life, work and kids. It is easy to follow and understand but is full of knowledge. feel good energy. This podcast should be bigger than it is and I imagine it will be soon or perhaps it is and I just didn’t realize. I fortunately stumbled on this podcast . I recommended it to my mother and she loves it too.

This is my “Go to” podcast.I learn so much and am inspired with every episode. As a psychotherapist I also recommend it to my clients. Life changing for me and for people I work with – thank you One and all at the One You Feed. Keep up the great work :-)

I started listening to Eric’s podcast in 2020, and it’s been part of my weekly routine ever since. He curates a fantastic lineup of quality guests. I always feel better after listening to an episode.

Long time listener to this fantastic podcast. I have learned so much and am grateful for the quality content on so many topics. I’m super happy for the creator that he is able to be compensated by having ads - he deserves it!!! I can only imagine the amount of work he has put in over the years! I hope he makes bank!! Thank you to the creator and team for this gift of a podcast. All the best fellow humans. Today I feed the good wolf.

I’d listened to your show with James Nestor. Very informative and an excellent podcast! The interviewer was well spoken and directed the conversation flow wonderfully. I was, however, EXTREMELY unimpressed by the three McDonalds commercials which were placed randomly throughout that particular show; what a terrible turn off. Please have your marketing department reconsider their target audience. Personally I do my best to shop organically and locally; we vote with our dollars and I’d love to see you include more consideration for your listeners by choosing your sponsors more carefully. Thanks for your excellent interviews! Get your advertising under control you’ve got a completely successful show ( from an audience’s perspective).

WHAT: I am an educator and what I got from this episode were some new strategies (and a book I need to read) that may help me at my own classroom level, but also at a team and school level to bring some awareness to the experiences some of our more challenging students may be having from their perspective. SO WHAT: So now, in addition to wanting to read Sarah’s book, I can imagine taking time to create spaces within the day to be sure students feel seen and heard and represented through art displays, structured sharing time, and/or student selected activities that can be shared within the classroom/team. NOW WHAT: I would love to take the information I will learn in Sarah’s book and present some ideas to my administrators and team mates to try as we embark on a new school year starting in July!

I always get inspired and learn something new. I like the repeat guests. Thanks Eric!!!

This podcast is so amazing. It truly opens the mind. It allows you to grow and learn so much.

this is absolutely racist garbage

This is one of those podcasts that I make time for, tell friends about and think about for days after. Thank you for all you do and your guests for sharing their knowledge as well. 💜

Lately I’ve been skipping these episodes as soon as they start on auto play. I enjoy the content, but as soon as I start hearing that intro music I think, “I can’t listen to this right now.” I’m a HSP with ADHD, and I took the time to continue listening and ask myself “why do I keep skipping this?” I realized it’s the song. It’s terrible in a way I can’t explain. Maybe it’s the song itself, maybe it’s the length, maybe it’s the overlapping with the intro speech, maybe it’s all three? Anyway, I know this is a highly personal gripe so I’m not taking away any stars for it. 4 stars because it’s good, but not great. Definitely enjoy episodes with some levity more than the super serious ones. The host has a nice, steady, clear way of speaking. Sometimes his response feels detached from the interviewee’s comments, as if he’s reading from a script or list of questions and doesn’t have the ability to improvise if their response is too far off from what he expects.

Thanks Eric for this glorious podcast n all the beautiful peeps u share w us! listenin to ur podcast soothes my heart n inspires n heals me … i share it with my friends n i thank u for spreading the joy n hope as we ALL could use it …. blessings n BLISS

This podcast has been a top show for me for years now. I so enjoy the topic but also the tone and thoughtful approach. When I started listening I didn’t even understand the parable, and now it is part of my daily thoughts. I imagine it has helped thousands of others deal with the struggles of our minds as it has with me. Thank you!🙏

Hi! Love your show! Noticed when asking your guest today about what the wolf parable means to him that you used gender-neutral terms….. “grandchild” and “grandparent.” Just wanted to say thank you for varying your wording and being inclusive of all! As the parent of a gender non-conforming child, this is noticed and appreciated! Thank you! I wanted to send this review right away and I give 5 starts based on what I’ve noted above, but also my overall impressions after listening to your show for months. Maybe over a year now? OK - back to listening to your conversation with your guest about focus. 😁

And self-promotion.

Good content but excessive commercials Yes I understand you have to make a living and support your podcast but too much is too much Blessings 🙏
