Shari is great guest, sharing her journey of exploration of holistic approach to changing life with pain to life of helping others. I enjoyed our conversation.
Phillip was a great guest on The Tax Strategy Playbook. He explained how defaulted EIDL loans are now being collected by the Treasury, including seizing tax refunds, in plain language our listeners could follow and act on. He came prepared, was easy to work with, and we created a great episode together. I'd recommend him to any host whose audience includes small business owners.
Gloria is such an amazing person, full of wisdom and life experience. A conversation with her was very uplifting, and her understanding will help many better understand our children, especially boys and men.
Evangelo is a great guest, open and honest, bringing a fresh point of view to the discussion and explaining things in an easy and relatable form.
Savannah was easy to talk with and was willing to go deep in discussion. I highly recommend.
A wonderful and very thoughtful guest
I enjoyed our conversation ranging for Widowhood to Tax and everything inbetween
Dr. Steven Wright is an excellent guest, knowledgeable, and a subject matter expert in the areas of supply chain data security and protecting against threats like data suppression, data poisoning, and deep fakes. Highly recommended.
Shampaigne was a fantastic guest. She brought sharp expertise and real warmth to our conversation, breaking down why women buy differently and why that hesitation was never a flaw. Her idea of marketing to "joy points" instead of pain points gave my audience of women business owners a fresh way to think about their own work, and her honesty about imposter syndrome made the conversation deeply personal too. She was prepared, easy to work with, and generous with a free resource for my listeners. Any host whose audience cares about women, money, and business would be lucky to have her. I'd welcome her back anytime!
Denise was a wonderful guest. She brought so much courage and heart to our conversation, sharing her story of overcoming decades of abuse and toxic relationships with honesty and grace. She made healing feel possible and practical, from boundaries and affirmations to her powerful reminder that "no is a complete sentence." Her mirror story moved me, and I know it will move my listeners too. She was gracious and easy to work with from start to finish, and she brought a generous offer for listeners as well. Any host looking for a guest who speaks to self-worth, healing, and faith-based resilience would be lucky to have her. I'd welcome her back anytime!
Morrighan was a dream guest. She came prepared, was easy to schedule, and brought so much warmth and honesty to our conversation that it felt like talking with an old friend. She spoke openly about burnout, people-pleasing, and self-abandonment, and she made deep ideas easy to understand. Her R.E.S.T. Method gave my listeners a simple practice they can use right away, and her line about the difference between living in the wound and living in the scar will stay with people long after the episode ends. She's professional, generous with her story, and fun to talk to. Any host would be lucky to have her. I'd welcome her back anytime!
Sean is an amazing guest! Funny, comfortable, and so knowledgeable! It was great to have him on, and hopefully he will come on again in the future!

I loved learning about this amazing trauma informed podcast. I enjoyed being a guest on the show!
I loved being a guest on the Fit for Joy podcast! It was such a pleasure to have an authentic conversation about energy, healing, and the power we each have to create a life we truly love. Thank you for creating a space for meaningful conversations that inspire and empower others. I’m grateful to have been part of it!
What a pleasure it was being a guest on Mike's podcast. The logistics of connection and recording were easy to navigate and Mike is a talented and enthusiastic host. I thoroughly enjoyed our conversation. Mike's collaborative conversational style is top notch, supporting me in putting my best "podcast guest foot" forward. I highly recommend Mike and his Higher Ground Life Podcast!
Great banter and good conversation!
Great questions, conversation, and the process was smooth and polished!
Fantastic host and a great conversation.
Barb was wonderful to speak with, very easy-going and informative. I would love to collab with her on other projects moving forward if the opportunity arose
I found this host to be awesome and we were able to bring about quite a bit of promotion for both of our businesses.
Barb is a great interviewer. It was my first interview with someone who wasn't already a good friend of mine; I didn't know Barb from before and I was nervous. She made me feel so relaxed that the whole interview felt like a good chat with a friend who is very interested in what I have to say, and who wouldn't love that? She asked interesting questions, really listened to my response, added a little bit of her reflections, and then 45 minutes was done and I felt great. Barb also did a very professional job of editing the interview, creating video clips, and providing me with language to use for telling people about the video. It was a great experience and I believe it will help promote my book on naCCT type traumas. I highly recommend this experience to you.
Jeff is an excellent host and provides guests with a framework for the conversation which is so helpful. Jeff is a great listener too and he's obviously interested and deeply committed to creating conversations that are thought provoking and informative for his listeners.
Christopher was a GREAT host. Highly recommend.
Really loved being on this show.
I love the mission to help people reclaim their health and understand the causes of Lyme disease and chronic illness.
Highly recommend it
How points work
10 per recorded episode · 5 per review written · 3 per review received · +1 for each 4★ received, +2 for each 5★.
Only connections marked as recorded count, and a review only counts once its episode has been recorded. Episodes are dated when they were recorded and reviews when they were written, so the two can land in different periods. Profiles that have paused matching are not shown.
