Incredible guests have me reaching for my notebook everyday to write down practical nuggets of wisdom that have pushed me to challenge myself, change and grow. Maria is a one of a kind interviewer who feels so authentic and true. Guests shine and seem more at ease with her and it makes for a unique conversation every time. I love the whole team and the beautiful community they have created!”

“Thank you so much Maria, Keven, and Kelsey from a fellow Medford girl. I’ve loved this show since back in the day when it was Conversations With Maria. It’s been great to be with you as the show has transformed and I can’t wait to see where you take it next. I’ve even impressed my boss a few times when I’ve dropped gems from your show into our conversations! Also, much love for Regular Guy Friday! I’ve been loving it! All the sympathy in the world for what you and your family are going through. I’m a first generation Italian girl and so many of your stories and interactions with your parents resonate with me. Your loss has opened my eyes to being more intentional and enjoying the moments I have with my parents. Thank you again for all you do and being a light in the world.”

I grew up watching Oprah daily and learning new things with her, without her show there was a hole in my heart that nothing else has been able to fill except this show! Maria and her team bring the top experts and gracefully walk you through how to get better together. The way she interviews brings out the best in guests and I always learn something new. She is endearing and her team adds so much to the conversations as well. Thank you for this space and for showing up during quarantine for your listeners.”

“I just discovered this podcast at the beginning of quarantine. I was home teaching virtually, having JUST moved into my new home after a very long and drawn out divorce process. My 4 year old was no longer in day care and not understanding the new world we were living in and I, like the rest of the world, was overwhelmed, sad, and scared. I don’t even remember how I found Maria but I know it was God’s purpose because every episode gave me hope, actionable measures to take in my own life, and the feeling of a daily meeting with friends. I am constantly referring to friends, family, and colleagues with different episodes or nuggets of wisdom from the show and I will continue to do so until they get on board. What a world this would be if we were all one giant heal squad…one day. Thank you Maria, Jeff & Kelsey, you give me inspiration, guidance, laughter, empathy, and hope! I have a dream of one day working and writing for this team or one just like it! In the meantime I look forward to continually growing through the invaluable resources you all provide. Cheers to a better year ahead XO”

I have been struggling with depression and anxiety for a while now. I listen to Better Together every morning on my ride to work, every time I’m feeling sad, every time I’m feeling lonely, every time I’m feeling in need of inspiration…you get the point. When I turn on the podcast it instantly relaxes me. I feel happier, grateful and full of life. It makes me smile, laugh, and even cry (in a good way). I truly feel as though Maria, Kelsey and Jeff are my close friends guiding me through life. They have made this world a better place…we are better together. I’m so grateful for this podcast for saving my life in so many ways. You guys are amazing…thank you”
