I LOVE YOUR PODCAST ! ❤️ It is informative, helpful, kind, caring, supportive and nonjudgmental. And this is why I have been in awe of your family for decades. Honesty, trustworthiness, kindness, compassion, brilliant, courage, empathy, strength, intelligence, integrity, talent, creativity….every word describes your family and I have been a devoted follower forever. Your podcast is wonderful and I look forward to listening to each episode, and when I need an extra positive boost, I will listen to an episode over and over again. Thank you to you and your gorgeous family !

I just found this podcast after listening to you on Joda. They are great.

I have recommended Maria Shriver’s interviews very often, especially Martha Beck and Marisa Peer. Please please keep interviewing, Maria! It has been a wonderful inspiration and lesson for me. bravo!

Don’t make this political! Democratic agenda with the same old bend. No thank you.

I re-listen to these all the time! So insightful and inspiring! I do enjoy Maria’s series with the Sunday Paper but I miss this podcast thanks for keeping it available!

Maria has a true gift of seeking to understand by asking the right questions, using examples and her own life experiences and those of others to help us all have more meaningful lives. Maria is very honest and humble and her guests are as well. Listening to situations people have gone through and how they’ve handled adversity is so helpful to apply to our own lives. One of my favorites is with Hoda, who’s also do awesome, when she spoke to the stranger on the plane who said “Don’t hog your journey. It’s not just for you.” Thank you for doing this kind of work so we all can help ourselves and others. Having this kind of solution oriented, positive type of network platform is needed, especially in our world today. Keep it coming Maria, this is your purpose & I’m grateful❤️

Great guest and wonderful topics!

Please continue with your Podcast, it is wonderful and exactly what we need.

Really enjoy each episode. Looking forward to the new episodes next month.

Hoping she posts new episodes soon!

When will the 2020 meaningful coversations begin this year.

I have received so much from these wonderful podcasts. It’s like I’m sitting in the room with her guests sharing such thought provoking conversations. Just when I think I have a favorite episode, another one comes on that is now my new favorite. I’m asking Santa for Christmas that he brings more time to Maria so she can share more ‘Meaningful Conversations’ with the world.

Love, love, love! ♥️

Listening to all the guests on each episode, I realize just how human we all are no matter what our status in life. We all have challenges and heartbreaks. And I love knowing there are some real Champions out there making life better for those in need! I was apprehensive about listening to the interviews with her Hollywood guests, since I’m not a big fan of Celebrities, but I decided to listen and found they were inspiring and not shallow, as I had pre-judged them to be. I love Maria’s style of interviewing. She’s super genuine and a pro at navigating the interviews staying on point with her message of “meaningful conversations”!♥️

I love this podcast, and Maria. This podcast is smart, insightful, and enlightening! I have looked forward to listening to it each Sunday evening. Is the podcast on an extended break, or has it ended? I thought it was just taking a summer break, but October has arrived and no new episodes! I would love to see an update sent out all of us who are subscribers.

Love your podcast and your interviews. We need more. Love listening to you and your wise words.

I’m a late bloomer on Maria Shriver podcasts Meaningful conversations. I absolutely love every inspirational story and conversations! Maria is absolutely amazing to me. So smart very well read very soothing with her voice. She’s a class act that keeps getting better! We need more Maria Shrivers in our world. Sarah

So enjoyed this podcast —is it going to continue?

I’m disappointed the podcast has apparently ended. Hope all is well with Maria.

This podcast is perfect in so many ways. Maria is down to earth, insightful, and empathetic. These conversations truly are meaningful.

I binge listen to the podcast and with each topic I was given a higher perspective of my community my country and the world I live in. Thank you for having these conversations.

Maria is such a great interviewer and I have learned so much already! I am sharing these with my friends and highly recommend this podcast. They truly are meaningful conversations!

I get so much out of this podcast.Maria Shriver zeroes in on guests and topics that are both timely and informational. The show’s content we can apply to our own lives or to help others, whether it’s about spirituality, health, relationships or every day emotional survival. I like that Maria also puts herself out there and is candid about her own worldview— more please. 🙏😊🌷Thank you, Maria and staff.

Meaningful Conversations has been my go-to commute lifeline every Monday. The inspiring topics and authentic conversations led by Maria’s honest discussion style create a compelling forum for introspection. In this age of disrespectful and superficial noise Meaningful Conversations causes us to consider how we can live differently and purposefully. I absolutely cannot wait until next season! Thank you, Maria, for providing a positive resource for listeners.

Monday’s won’t be the same until you return. I sure have enjoyed the podcast. Thank you Maria!

Maria always has such interesting guests who open my eyes to new topics. Always inspiring.

I can’t name a favorite but it was so interesting to hear from Father James Martin. He is so insightful, smart and I’m a Baptist.

Listening today was my first experience and subscription to a podcast. Wonderful opportunity to feel like I was in the room while having my thought life awakened to the possibilities that I have on my journey in life.

I thought this was going to be a politically neutral podcast that would be inspirational. So disappointed.

I look forward to each Monday when I can listen to another Meaningful Conversation! I feel inspired and gain such insight from the guests’ stories. And Mara, you sure know how to pick them! Your guests have opened my eyes to so many ideas, situations, and the reality that we are all more alike than we knew. One of my favorite conversations was with the Special Olympics athlete, she is truly a treasure. I’m so glad I got to hear her story. Lark Petty

I am so happy that I found this; it makes Monday’s more meaningful!

I’m hooked

I’m so grateful Maria decided to start a podcast. I have always admired and had the greatest respect for her. I love how she demonstrates her intelligence, curiosity and vulnerability at the same time. She is real. Her guests are real. We are all just trying to figure it out and what you hear is so is she. Excellent discussions with thought provoking questions from Maria. Particularly inspired by her conversations with Kathie Lee and The Jesuit Priest.

As a Lutheran pastor, I am impressed with Kathy’s spiritual discipline. I wish I had it. I also appreciated her honesty with regard to being a widow, an orphan, and her presiding over an empty nest. As a survivor of crippling grief, I found that her narrative rang true. My questions arose from what felt like prosperity theology: “if you believe this, than this can happen.” I felt like God was being coopted to achieve the American dream. As a former missionary, I was exposed to refugees from Slovakia, Russia, Cameroon, Liberia, and Sierra Leone. While the Spirit’s power may enable us to maximize our gifts, the Christ to whom we bow is a reminder that — when our culture, economic circumstances, gender, etc. prevent us from experiencing success or, minimally, peace — we have a God who will not forsake us. My hope for Kathy is that she would find a healthy religious community (healthy is the operative word): I have found that spiritual community rids us of our spiritual narcissism. All of that said: we are all broken and in need of God’s grace. Kathy bore witness to that. Thank you for challenging me with this broadcast.

Thank you for taking time to share a message of hope. It was what I needed most today. ❤️

Loved hearing the podcast with Kathie Lee Gifford. Two women speaking of the things that matter. Great examples of strength, dignity, and resilience. I can’t wait to hear more from Maria! Thank you!!

I really enjoy Maria and all of her questions. I thought that the speaker Mary was very informative and interesting it made me want to read her book. I enjoy Maria’s style of interviewing very much. It makes me want to continue to listen to meaningful conversations.

Thank you for having Ms. Pipher speak on your podcast. I’ve loved her writing and it encourages me as a woman to seek happiness and gratitude everyday. Brava!!

While I love most of Maria’s varied podcasts/guests, this was the worst. Gregg spoke so fast it was hard to listen to. I thought someone recorded her in fast forward speed. Good topic, not well presented.

I really enjoyed the Gregg Renfrew interview, how she shared her business challenges and desire to help people with clean beauty products was powerful. Her mission to now face the government and demand protection is definitely something to follow.

I respect Maria and unfortunately disappointed in her podcast.

Just to say I love your energy and all you put out in the universe. Thank You

Genuine conversations between interesting, thoughtful people. I appreciate how Maria uses her platform to illuminate. With an open mind, one can gain inspiration and insight from these discussions.

I adore Maria. She is always surprised and delighted by what she learns. It’s almost a childlike awe of others that is so full of her life experience and her grateful outlook. Rob is a similar soul and their chat is not to be over thought but enjoyed. We need JOY more than ever in the time we live. Their connection is true and I enjoyed it very much❤️❤️❤️❤️

I loved your podcast with Hoda. You both are living such an authentic life and your joy and love for others is contagious. Thank you for sharing this with us.

Always liked Rob Lowe, your interview gave me a whole new appreciation for him. I love the concept of the show... can’t wait for more.

I thought the interview was compelling. He is a disciplined guy who has had a formula for success. I like how he values family and appreciates the loves in his life, his sons, his wife! Great job Maria!

Maria is a wise teacher and this podcast is quickly becoming one of my favorites. It’s near impossible to listen to the interview with Hoda and not be inspired.

Maria does the best interviews! I love this show!!
