My name is LaLa and I live in LaLa Land spewing nonsense into a microphone (and on paper & the net) begging for money while sitting in my seaside home claiming to have done this for my listeners AKA followers. While some of the content is solid information its ALL recycled except for the pathetic selfish solo episodes. Why didn’t LaLa Tell the Truth about the horrifying Drunk Driving Statistics and the lives Drunk Driving destroys? Then donate to money to MADD. 🤨 Oh right, that wouldn’t portray LaLa in the best light… talking about her inexcusable crimes.

Laura covers tough topics with guests, many in a way I haven’t considered before. It is always enlightening and brings a new understanding/perspective on something within myself or a way of relating to others. Thank you Laura!

Laura is able to get to the heart of a matter and tell a story so fluidly and beautifully. Personal and universally relatable, vulnerable and insightful, every episode gives me a beautiful moment of “aha-YES!” This is how we grow as people.

These conversations are illuminating and thought-provoking, and they restore my faith in people and make me feel less alone in the world.

I would like to hear more of the guest and less of Laura.

I learn so much in every episode. I’ve listened to several more than once and learned about amazing work of so many people. Always a conversation of substance!

I love the real honest and vulnerable conversations Laura hosts each week. Her guests have a lot to share and I learn a lot I can reflect on in my own life. Keep up the great work. Thank you

Really like the podcast overall but the Johann Hari interview had a really abrupt and awkward ending. I would have liked to have heard the rest of his story and voice on how to re-focus attention in a world of overstimulation.

Laura’s way with words is soothing. She interviews folks from a place of authentic curiosity and is a good listener. She has a good variety of guests and stand alone episodes.

Have just started listening to the TMST podcast and have been really enjoying it. They are very satisfying. Laura has such great interview questions with the people she has on, it feels like you are sitting around a dining table and just having a great conversation around coffee. I also really like the episodes where she answers questions, AMA they are called. Overall, highly recommend!

Authentic, comfortable and real conversation! Thank you, Laura, for bringing your curiosity to the podcast world today!

TMS is a must listen podcast for finding the joy in living a full life. Laura and her guests discuss practical ways to care for yourself, deal with life’s challenges, authentically, with joy, and in recovery from addiction.

Just as her book, We Are the Luckiest and her course Sobriety in Full Color land for me, so does her podcast. It’s like sitting by a fire with hot tea and a warm blanket. Real conversations, vulnerability, and connection. This is life.

One of my favorite podcasts. Love Laura’s book & this podcast is equally as great.

I’ve enjoyed Laura’s previous podcasts but this one is not working for me. Laura’s massive strengths really shone in the previous ones - speaking with a lot of honesty, authenticity, self-awareness and vulnerability around getting sober. Now… it feels like she’s out of her wheelhouse. And it almost comes across like she has aphasia on this show. There is a lack of clarity in the speaking, and the stops and starts create this cadence that is like a Brillo pad scratching on my brain. What is going on here? Come on, Laura!

I came to read the reviews just to see if I was the only one who felt the way I do and many people mentioned my feelings exactly! I love Laura, I’ve listened to every single episode of Home and Spiritualish, I’ve even done some of her online courses and been an avid follower for years. I cannot for the life of me understand , with all of the experience, the money poured in, production assistants, etc. why on Earth can’t someone tell Laura to stop drinking water after every sentence l? Can’t someone edit out all of the swallowing noises?? The AMA episode from November 18th was particularly awful, I wanted to much to hear the content but couldn’t get through the constant pausing, gulping, swallowing sounds, it’s was unbearable!! I hope that someone can address these issues so that we can get back to hearing the inspired wisdom that Laura is known and loved for!!!

I might have to stop listening to this. The way she is mic’ed makes me want to scream. I can hear the spit sloshing around in her mouth and *every*time* she swallows. This seems to be mostly when she is doing a monologue episode. On the content level, her most recent episode--where it sounded like she was saying that she outgrew speaking to “recovery” issues--had me wondering what her thesis statement is for this platform. I’m not sure I understand what she wants to be ‘saying,’ but she certainly lost me in that awful interview about that Jungian garbage.

LOVE this podcast. It’s my new favorite. I appreciate how raw and vulnerable Laura is. Listening to this podcast is like having a deep convo with a best friend.

I had difficulty getting through the Anna Lembke interview because it sounded like she was being interviewed by a middle school girl and not a grown adult. Laura fails to communicate like an adult woman and is just downright irritating. The the awkwardness of this women is just an all around NO.

I listened to Laura's book and just loved her message and her voice. I'm so excited about this thoughtful podcast full of inspiration and good thoughts on how to live a full, authentic life!

It’s a deep-dive into what it is to be human, and I am in love with the thoughtful conversations unfolding.

Laura and her love of healing, spiritual deep dives, wonder, abundance thinking of living a good life is all wrapped up into this podcast. Love is all I can say when I think of her words, her gift of sharing and interviewing other wonderfully resilient humans. You must follow, subscribe & join her community. You feel the love she shares connecting true authentic stories of how to live.

Laura is such a natural podcaster and you can tell the guests feel at ease with her, which makes for some great interviews. I recommend this podcast constantly because there really is something for everyone. When I discuss the episodes with other poeple we always have different moments that struck us or stuck with us! Love this show.

The episode w guest whose doTera “business” “really took off” after she got sober. Completely predatory company w unethical practices. She’s no “success” and if she is, it’s at the expense of others. DoTerra is a somewhat notorious company in the world of essential oils. They're an MLM (Multi Level Marketing) company who's come under heat with FDA for making false claims about their oils, and have left a lot of customers feeling untrustworthy of huge essential oil retailers.

I know very little of Laura McKowen’s work. She somehow showed up a few years ago on my Instagram feed. From the few posts I read, I sensed her to be a sincere and kind soul with gifts for those who crossed her path. I came across this podcast and something inside of me said, “go listen to the trailer.” I did. Then something inside of me said “listen to episode one.” I did. Then something inside of me broke open while I listened. It felt like a million butterflies flying out of my heart. This one conversation…digging and excavating the soul of life. This one conversation throwing open the gates of merely living and inviting each of us to show up to this place and ourselves with curiosity and maybe some grit and truly live. I’m grateful to have found this podcast. You never know what might spark encouragement for you to live your life in a deeply meaningful way. For me, it was listening to one conversation. Tell Me Something True lives up to its promise—I’ve fallen in love with my messy thrilling life once again. I feel comforted in knowing that there is good company along this journey, and I can’t wait to know more.

Every episode has been thought provoking to the point I’ve listened to them twice because there’s so much to absorb. The recent episode with Africa Brooke is excellent. Look forward to hearing more and happy to support such excellent work and ad free to boot.

Topics very relevant to all of us humans, with poignant, well thought- out discussion. What a gift!

I think this podcast is incredible! Laura’s questions direct each conversation to so many beautiful truths. I find myself nodding along and jotting sentences down while I listen. So very well done!

Even if you’ve never heard of Laura McKowen, you will enjoy this podcast. It is high quality audio (+ no ads!) that skips over awkward small talk. Laura asks meaningful questions that inspire authentic, relevant dialogue. You can tell TMST is a force of pure love; the creators truly care about our experience as listeners (there’s a free community you can join but no pressure) and there are music playlists to go along with each episode. Highly recommend to all!

The episode with young pueblo soothed my soul. He’s so present and lovely. Laura’s conversation with him made my day. Let’s all strive for some equanimity.

There is something about Laura that resonates. The honesty shines through- the good and the bad. Tell Me Something True is the perfect title for this podcast because that’s what you get— the truth. I highly recommend Tell Me Something True

Loving this latest offering from the ever thought provoking Laura McKowen. I love that she is bringing her curiosity to life through the questions she asks those who inspire and delight her, and so many others. Well produced and great flow. If you’re curious about people who speak their truth, tel me something true is for you!

Oh how happy I was to see this podcast! Laura has a beautiful way of delivering the raw truth so that we don’t feel so alone in this crazy world! I cannot express how much your words have helped me through my struggles. ❤️

Just love Laura’s style! The evolution in her journey can really be heard if you go back a listen to HOME you just feel it. Kinship!! Thank you Laura for the continual positive content!! Please take a listen, so worth it!!

This is so exciting as I start my sober journey that you dropped your new podcast!!! I have been a fan since I read your book last summer. ❤️

I didn’t really expect much from this just because it was the first episode (sometimes it takes time to work out the kinks)…I was soooo pleasantly surprised. Laura is an awesome interviewer, her conversation with Cheryl was so honest & interesting, & I legit felt better after listening than I did before. I can’t wait to hear more. What a great way to spend an hour!

I never miss a chance to hear Laura speak, write, laugh, or just exude her grounded steadiness, and compassionate warmth. Never missed an episode of HOME or spiritualish and expect tmst to be even more inspiring and affirming, if that’s possible. So excited to hear interviewee’s wisdom and insight but mostly just to hear Laura think out loud again. She is ineffably intelligent, funny, wise, and someone you want on your side. Listening to a Laura McKowen podcast is like a giant exhale and a hug from the inside at the same time 💚

Really enjoyed episode 1. Laura has such a natural presence and cheryl strayed was a great first guest. This pod is the real deal that we all need a little more of in life.

Was really hoping to like this new Podcast from Laura McKowen but I was totally underwhelmed. Came across as too produced and contrived.

Man do I need to face my life’s truths..a beautiful and genuine dialogue that made me take pause and notice in my life!

Well done, Laura! What a great debut episode! I’ll be listening to this one again! Looking forward to all your future episodes! Thank you for sharing!

Awesome premier podcast! So real and raw. Loved listening to Laura and Cheryl Strayed! Best wishes to Laura and Cheryl for continued success.

If you have followed Laura for more than a few minutes... you know how exciting it is to hear this podcast! Deep, real, honest. It’s everything that’s good in this uncertain time. Looking forward to all that is to come.

Absolutely love this podcast! It’s like a breath of fresh air. Thanks Laura for this gold ❤️

Thank you. 💜

Tell Me Something True is the podcast we’ve all needed, and it’s finally here! I fell in love with Laura’s storytelling a handful of years ago when a friend recommended her first podcast to me, and I’ve been hooked since! Laura has a knack for getting to the heart of the issue thru her curious questions and open mind. She seems like the girl next door, the trusted friend you’d want to have coffee with. I loved the first episode of TMST with Cheryl Strayed, and I can’t wait for more! Thank you, Laura, for continuing to share your discoveries with us, I am forever grateful for you for sharing your walk thru life with us!

Honestly I thought I had enough podcasts , especially with Glennons just coming out. But I was wrong. I can’t wait to relisten to episode 1 and look forward to all of them. Laura goes deep, is real, honest and such a love. Thank you for all the work you put into this Laura and Team. Going to subscribe now. ~ Ellen Atkins , Founder of Syd & The Suburban Monk
