Reviews
I thoroughly enjoyed my experience as a guest on Barb's podcast. She produces content that is highly valuable and so important in today's world. Her interview skills are excellent and she creates a comfortable space in which to share your expertise. I highly recommend Barb for anyone looking for a high quality podcast guest experience!
I loved learning about this amazing trauma informed podcast. I enjoyed being a guest on the show!
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
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.
Ce knows her stuff, and created a unique, thoughtful conversation. Appreciate the opportunity!
Barb was really cool, easy to talk to and made the experience quick. She understands so much about human behavior and psychology and I felt like I was talking to someone who really cares. As a podcaster, Barb also understands that format and formula are 2 different things, and made sure the interview suited the information I had to share and was not long and dragged out like many podcasts. I highly recommend this show.
Barb is an excellent host and I loved our conversation. May it help many people.
Barb was an incredible host that has very insightful questions. She was very kind patient and I knew that she had been through her own trauma also walking through her own fire.. Thank you Barbara for such a great podcast, but also doing such a good thing for people who suffer from childhood trauma abuses.
Good interview. Comfortable and friendly.
Had a wonderful conversation with Barb! Great host!
Great time talking and sharing important ideas for the audience's healing journey. Great interviewer and easy-going conversation. Thankful for this connection! Highly recommended to anyone else looking to serve your audience with healing words, ways, and wisdom.
Wonderful experience and would highly recommend!! Barb is an amazing person and looking forward to speaking to her again when book #2 comes out.
Pod host Barb was lovely to work with. I enjoyed our conversation immensely and hope that it helps struggling parents.
Had a good time talking with Barb. It went very smoothly and we exchanged a lot of helpful information for the listeners.
