Used to Love

I used to listen, and recently returned but as much as I mostly enjoy the tips - all shows feel like 65% of the time is dedicated to ads. Too much. Sorry - I’m out .

Short over long, content over delivery and pronunciation

86chel•5/5/2026

The content is great, and I can often take something I’ve heard and put it into action. Oddly enough, that only happens with the shorter episodes. I no longer even try to listen to the longer ones because I don’t find them relevant or helpful, and the interviews are all over the place. I agree with many that Laura’s delivery is “off” but it’s clear she’s not willing to change, so I try to focus on the great content instead of the cadence and the irritating way she pronounces “converZation.”

The voice

The upward inflection on words is hard to listen to. Good content but please use your normal voice.

Content good, delivery awful

MamaDocling•12/31/2025

Please Laura use your normal speaking voice! Pretend you’re talking to an adult! This sing song librarian voice makes the podcast unlistenable. I like your content on Best of Both Worlds so I keep trying this podcast but the condescending phony voice is insufferable

No long episodes!

There are plenty of other podcasts I can listen to for half hour episodes. The benefit of this show is its brevity. Please don’t make long episodes! Long episodes absolutely ruin my morning routine. If you insist on making them, put them in their own “Before Brunch” feed or at least on the weekends. This productivity podcast is ruining my morning routine!
