Not too much woo

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.

Excellent Podcast

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.
