The insight you get with other people's stories

Totally love the insights you get from listening to other people's stories and relationship issues. Esther Perel has an amazing ability to guide people to dig deeper, to come up with the root cause of the problem. I can listen to her for hours on end

Great analysis of a marriage in crisis

authentic, relatable, thought-provoking, wise. Esther cleverly guides this couple through their respective sense of betrayal, disappointment and emotional breakdown.

Didn’t know I wanted to listen to this until I did

Have you ever thought you’d like to be a fly on the wall and listen to real life couples in counselling? No, probably not! I didn’t either until I downloaded this series. Made me smile and cry. Fascinating, real, addicting and relevant. Definitely worth a listen, you’ll know by the first episode if it’s your thing. Enjoy!
