As a Circle facilitator for over three decades also, I am an affirmed and inspired by Dre and Em. Bringing circles in this way to the mainstream, Gives me that extra boost or nudge to keep doing what I’m doing. Naturally, we all look toward California as a trailblazer, at least I do being from California originally, I know that they are just way cool. So in my book, if they are doing circles with celebrities and regular people, what I’m doing with women over 55 in my community and have been doing for all women for 30 years, it’s right on target. Thank you for keeping me inspired.

It is such a joy to listen to Dre guide us through these episodes. I love her authenticity and the space she creates and invites us into. Highly recommend.

so much wisdom and magic and life pouring out of these episodes. I hope they continue to bring on super cool creatives and visionaries that help us navigate these intense times on earth. Pave the way forward!!!!

It doesn’t matter which episode I am listening to, it could even be a topic I am not familiar with or do not know she is talking to before I start listening, whatever it may be, I always find something. A quote, a positive affirmation for myself, a pat on the back, or a balm for my soul at that time. Dre is truly authentic and she is like that pal that you can always count on to be there to listen to you.

Circle This is the kind of podcast that feels like a good book - curl up with a cup of tea on your sofa and just click “play”. The host (my sister Andrea), and Emily have a dynamic that feels effortless — like you’re sitting with friends who aren’t afraid to talk about real life - the messy parts, the funny parts, and everything in between. Every time I listen it leaves me with something to think about and inspired to reflect a little more on my own life. Highly recommend. 🎧✨

Circle This podcast is a great resource I’ve added to my self care toolkit. Andrea and her guests never fail to inspire and enlighten.

Circle This features deep, playful, intimate conversations with authors, healers, artists, innovators and entrepreneurs, as they explore how to create magic and meaning in everyday life. What stands out is the way Circle This offers a powerful antidote to the loneliness epidemic by modeling real connection, vulnerability, and authentic relationship-crafting. Whether you’re navigating friendship, creativity, aging, or spiritual growth, the episode topics are rich in insight and invite you into a circle rather than a monologue. With its strong community vibe, honest reflections and practical take-aways, it’s one of the more meaningful, heart-opening podcasts I’ve come across. If you want to go beyond small talk and cultivate deeper connection with yourself and others, Circle This is a standout. Plus, I love Dre and Emily and their playful banter!

This podcast gives a thoughtful, meaningful space for conversations that inspire new perspectives and invite deeper reflection. There’s always a valuable takeaway — whether it’s a spark of insight or a reminder of what really matters most on this journey.

Wonderful, inspiring conversations. People you want to spend time wth.

This show provides equal doses of entertainment and therapy. Dre and Em have thoughtfully curated their guest list to provide the most authentic representation of how to combat the loneliness epidemic.

This podcast is just what our world needs. More insight, connection and vulnerable sharing. Grateful for all the conversations and depth of loving awareness.

Insightful, informative, inspirational and comforting! We are so very lucky to have access to these rich conversations that Dre (and Em too) overate with the guests, so generously shared with us listeners. Every episode layers depth and humor, practical suggestions for more authenticity, and a loving nudge to create community and sacred friendship in our lives. Thank you thank you!

Dre and Em’s “Circle This” provides intimate, soulful conversations that bring the listener into their inner circle. There are no outsiders here. As someone listening on the other side, I feel a part of the conversation, learning from experts, feeling inspired, motivated and appreciative of the beauty within us all. We’re living through dark times right now and this podcast is a beam of much-needed refreshing light. Dre and Em’s conversations give me hope.

This podcast is an absolute go to every week. Dre and Emily circle you in to an incredible community of wise, thoughtful and authentic people who will feel like your friends by the end of the episode. I’m constantly inspired by the tangible practices that foster connection to self and connection to others - which is the remedy for what often feels like a harsh and hectic world. The episodes leave me feeling energized and hopeful, and I take that energy with me into the rest of my day and my week. You definitely want to Circle This!

This is Andrea’s calling as a lover of ‘real talk’ and connection. The conversations are intimate, revealing and vulnerable, it feels like I am a fly on the wall eavesdropping on the high vibe tea my higher self needs to hear. ❤️

I don’t say this lightly… this podcast has changed my life. each episode feels like the deep, nourishing conversation I didn’t know I needed. it’s been like having the internet big sister I never had… steady, wise, and full of heart. if you’re on a healing journey, craving connection, or simply want to feel seen and held, this podcast is a must. thank you Dre & each guest, for showing up so fully. your words stay with me in the best way 💛

Circle This with Andrea Bendewald is a masterclass in leading and living an authentic life. I am continuously learning, laughing and loving through every moment of this podcast. The stories and questions cultivated by Dre, Emily and their guests continue to make me think long after the podcast episodes are over, and conversations heard on the pod have become a regular part of my dinner table discussions. Circle This is the ONLY podcast that I listen to the second each episode drops! 🔥🔥🔥

Love this podcast for the strong, down to earth, balanced women who join in conversation with Andrea to reflect on life, success, connection and meaning. Andrea shares tangible tools and reflections at the end while in conversation with Emily that I found insightful and helpful for any woman navigating becoming their truest self.

Soul Nourishing! Thank you for putting this beauty and your energy into the world, Dre! 💜🙏🏼

I first found Dre while listening to her being interviewed on another podcast - and I can’t for the life of me recall which one? But i was so intrigued by her concept of Circling, that I began listening here AND Circling with her online. And what an amazing gift that has been……from meeting other incredible women, who lift one another up, and find just how much they have in common as we explore who we are. Dre & Emily have such a natural ease with one another and their guests- you feel like you’re sitting right there with them! I love this podcast and alllllll the deep topics they explore - connection to other women, the collective, and most importantly ourself, is what this podcast does. And THAT is pure magic ✨

In a world where division is the name of the game, and politics rule the podcast landscape, it’s refreshing to listen to a podcast that’s about unity and community. Love this new podcast so much and feel really good after I listen to it. Like a deep breath or a warm bath. Everything is going to be okay because we have each other. Love Circle This!

Prepare to be amazed, inspired, and moved by the honesty, wisdom and depth you’ll find in this podcast, an unvarnished kind of truth and openness that the host, Andrea Bendewald, inspires in the people she converses with on every topic of the human spirit and human experience. Andrea asks all the BIG questions we’re wondering, expanding our understanding of ourselves and others, and lifting us up as we’re reminded, episode after episode, we’re never alone— we have so much more in common with each other than we think or are led to believe by the polarizing forces that benefit from our separation. Circle This is like a modern campfire, the antidote to so much we’re trying to heal in this world. Gather round!

Be inspired! Feel connected to a strong community of thinkers and doers. It’s all right here. There are many powerful tools and life changing insights to be discovered in just the first few episodes. I look forward to all that is ahead. Thank you for including us all in your circle. ❤️

Loving these conversations so much. The wisdom and stories are staying with me and sparking deep discussions among my friends. Now we ask each other ripple effect questions at every dinner! Can’t wait for more.

This may be my favorite episode so far. Worry is so wasteful!! So many wonderful takeaways and just what I needed to hear.

thank you dre for sharing your gift of meaningful and authentic conversations with inspiring individuals that encourages thoughtful introspection, positive change, laughter, compassion and insight. ❤️this podcast!

It is quite evident that the host and guest have done quite a bit of inner work. Both have suffered and bear witness of how the tensions of that suffering and found their joy their path. This is the first episode I listened to and so grateful for the honesty, vulnerability and integrity. If I was to have a billboard, it would be” begin within”. Not an easy task on the past individuation, but it is a must.. both of these ladies have chosen that path and it was a joy to listen to. I appreciate the seven deadly sins. They are deadly because it keeps us from our higher self our best self as a human being and shut the light on that and discussing it openly was a gift. I to read a lot and that book is on its way home to me.- thank you!

Circle This is the kind of podcast that feels like a breath of fresh air. From the moment you hit play, you're welcomed into a space where inspiring stories and thought-provoking discussions come to life. Listen and share with all your friends!

Andrea has such an amazing way of connecting with her guest and sharing meaningful conversations that feel so relatable.
