Hard-hitting questions wrapped in love!
What I like most about this podcast is that the hosts aren’t afraid to ask difficult questions! Instead of the same surface-level talking points, Kristy and Danielle get down to the questions you might be afraid to ask but need to know in order to become a better co-worker, ally, and friend — even to yourself. And, they’re never rude or insensitive! They always take a careful approach and lead from a place of compassion.

Always a gem
Danielle and Kristy not only have guests who are innovative and inspiring, what I really love is their interviewing style. It feels more like I’m listening in on an intimate conversation and there’s always a gem in each episode that pulls at me all week. They know how to go in for the pieces that matter, the questions that linger in your heart.

Dia Bondi podcast
Attended the dia Bondi podcast today and took away so many practical insights and general motivation to ask for more than I think I can and to understand it’s helpful information if I don’t get it - and a starting place to negotiate.

A dynamic duo of curiosity to be on the journey
Kristy & Danielle are a dynamic duo that bring in delightful guests to share new perspectives to live the journey of life. What I love most is how relatable both Kristy and Danielle are - and how they play with and explore these topics for themselves (and then share their reflections).

A Must Listen
My favorite episode is episode 29, Love Addiction. It’s a definite must listen. It doesn’t apply to love relationships but with your colleagues and family. Really eye opening. I especially took note on chemistry vs connection.

Thoughtful, engaging, warm & funny
This is the place, people! Come here for a space where curiosity thrives and conversations flow with grace and ease. Kristy and Danielle are every woman you want to hang out with, discover with, and laugh with. I had the privilege of talking with them about a book I co-authored (check out Ep. 53!) and I just never wanted the chat to end. They ask probing questions and are so willing to share their own perspectives and vulnerabilities. Please subscribe . . . you’ll be glad you did.

Inspired! Encouraged!
Kristy and Danielle were both leaders I followed through the work of The Opposite of Small Talk. Their focus on friendships, growth mindset, and resilience has been an important part of my personal growth, journey and a bonus of sanity as the leader for the last 2+ years. It is an honor to call them both friends as a fellow podcast host - I encourage you to please tune in and begin gaining inspiration and encouragement from The Opposite of Small Talk.

Great podcast!
I really love this podcast. Interesting, relevant topics and I enjoy that Danielle and Kristy provide differing POVs about the same topic. It makes it better to listen to because it’s balanced, non judging and allows for the listener to think about great thought provoking topics from different angles.
