I always feel more sane after listening. And less alone. Such a nurturing podcast. Thank you, Martha!

I can’t get enough of Martha- she speaks my language! She explains things with stories, analogies and examples that I can actually relate to. It’s so refreshing to find someone so real, relatable and genuine that speaks in a way that resonates.

The episode “Anchoring into Kindness “ is so useful and calming— and not at all what I expected. It took me out of the ridiculous and infuriating events around me and into deep peace. Thank you, Martha, once again, for your wisdom. I never get tired of this sanity- inducing podcast!!

Hi Martha! My son came home from school excited to tell me his Cadet Corps teacher talked about Martha Beck and anxiety in class! Just wanted to let you know your message has spread far and wide! Thank you for all your work!

Both-sides-ism at its finest.

In this time of unraveling and uncertainty and fear, Martha continuously reminds me that for a different world to be born we have to take a leap and move in a different way … both inside and out.

Grateful for Martha’s generosity in sharing her wisdom and being an example of the freedom to live one’s life differently and authentically.

I consider myself very lucky to have you in this world. Your wisdom and generosity that you’re kindly share it to anyone who is wise enough to listen and read your teachings. You’re a bright light that we’re blessed with. Thank you,

Thank you for this much needed podcast! I felt so hopeless, sad and angry with the election results! You gave me directions to endure the next four years of the darkness in America. Thank you for your podcast, the light you bring in the world! I love and appreciate you! I wish you and your loved ones well!

This podcast is fantastic, engaging and healing. I love how much Martha Beck knows about the science of spirituality and psychology. Love the meditation. Love it all.

The BEST podcast! Thank you!

Love listening to Martha and all her wisdom and love for life!!!!!♥️♥️♥️

Thank you Martha for your incredible work. I’m OBSESSED with this podcast. It has changed my life!!!

I became a fan of Martha’s spiritual and psychological wisdom by reading her monthly columns in O Magazine and her books. When my dog passed just before Covid and the only way to get out of the house was long walks, I thought what will I do? Then I started listening to podcasts while walking. Martha’s podcasts are always uplifting while at the same time offering practical advice. They are also not too long, so you can listen to the whole session at once. Thanks, Martha! 💖

Martha Beck is so practical. Appreciate her down to Earth style.

Honestly, how many more times are you going to say (or write) something that stops me in my tracks? You’ve become my cultural cover story for my failure to comply with all the cultural “should” and live my own life unapologetically. I’m still working on the staying present and finding guidance in my body. I’ll keep listening :-)

I love this podcast and listening to Martha. In all honesty, it is the podcast I always turn to when I might be feeling anxious or find it difficult to sleep. Martha’s friendly, kind manner, wise words and advice make me feel so much less alone in this world. It all feels like it’s going to be okay when I tune into Martha and the wonderful community she has gathered. Thank you.

Martha Beck is a true role model and this podcast is an absolute gift.

This is one of my long-time favorite podcasts. Martha, thank you for bravely sharing your insights and compassion with the world!! We love you!

Martha, you explain so many ephemeral ideas in ways I can understand them. I’ve listened for a while, and today your “Compose yourself” episide just really hit the spot!!! Creating feels so important. I’m going to go compose myself now, by writing for fun.

Whenever I listen to an episode, it’s exactly what I need to hear! Martha’s wisdom is so practical and applicable. So thankful for the shift in perspective she brings.

I pretty much adore all Martha Beck’s podcasts and books… her meditations in the Gathering Pod episodes are the best guided meditations I’ve ever experienced… I would love for her to put together a 2023 meditations episode that’s just a mash-up of all the mediations from the 2023 episodes… Or perhaps dedicate one podcast exclusively to meditation, even if it’s 5 mins long! Thank you Martha for all you do!!!!

I got hooked on Martha Beck’s columns in O. When I found her podcast, I immediately started feeling like a severe thirst was being quenched. I always get insights that help me be more authentic and whole. I’ve found my people! Thank you!

I feel so worn out on the “imagine the space new your eyes” meditation. Does this have to be incorporated in almost every episode?

We don’t need to know how smart and clever you are. Let your guests shine and give them space to talk. When you interviewed Dr. Schwartz, you talked WAY TOO MUCH. You would even interrupt his conversation with “um”, “yes”, and it’s like you were waiting for him to stop talking to start talking. Shut up and ask good questions and REALLY LISTEN. You don’t need to go off on this long monologue every time after he says something. How about asking another good open-ended question and then LISTENING? Very irritating. Giving your guests time to talk and don’t constantly overlay your commentary after they speak. This will provide your listeners with the best experience. If you want to talk all of the time, don’t interview guests.

Martha Beck is an absolute genius in heart and mind. Her podcasts and books fill me up and keep me going.

Every episode is full of love and spirit.

I look forward to each new episode. Listening to Martha is like talking to a wonderful, fun, encouraging best friend.

Thanks Martha for sharing your energy. I have been appreciating your work for over 20 years. Your books have been useful guides for me.

So real, funny, inspiring, and true. Thank you, Martha!

Makes my life so much better!!

Martha and Rowan are so wonderful to listen to. You feel like you are having a cup of coffee with good friends! I get so many valuable nuggets of enlightenment every time I listen to them. The most recent one from Marty is “we are completely responsible for the cleanliness of our own energy.” Very Buddhist! Also loved “The Way of Integrity” by Martha Beck which is ultimately how I found the podcast. Thank you both for being in the world!

This is a great podcast! I started listening after reading Martha’s book, The Way of Integrity, last year and found so much valuable insight. There are many practical applications here. I would highly recommend that anyone give it a listen and take it all in - it will uplift your weary spirit!

Martha Beck is in touch with wisdom and truth that have the power to transform our lives and our world. She communicates in a way that people are really able to hear and relate with, and that is relevant and grounded. Thank you Martha for using your voice in the world, you’re creating an amazing positive ripple effect.

Grateful for the wise, loving messages found on The Gathering Pod. It’s a source of learning, inspiration, and comfort. When my mind is over-full the energy of this show soothes it.

Thoughtful, honest, incredibly interesting; Martha’s podcast is like a seemingly endless source of fresh water that I drink from as often as possible.

Hearing you talk about the wave -particle dynamic of consciousness and other quantum perspectives makes me want to do a Lila (Having overwhelming positive emotion come up so powerfully that I feel like biting somebody’s shoulder :) I totally geek out on the physics of spirituality and how it applies to our lived physical experiences. I love hearing about it in a way that makes it accessible to all. Thank you Martha! I enjoy your podcast but particularly liked this one. Thank you 🥸😎🧐… 🧚‍♀️

Full of compassionate, practical, and effective strategies to live a life of ease and purpose by the inimitable Martha Beck. You simply must listen.

Martha Beck was my favorite for years but now I'm am in total shock about her! Lecturing on Climate Change & shaming someone who doesn't agree with her is so toxic & it's even worse when you are a life coach. I'm am heartbroken at her change & insufferable attitude she has formed. Never will listen to this women again! Love isn't politician love isn't woke love is unconditional. Quit Martha you sold out!!!

Relevant and entertaining, with audience questions and answers. Thank you Martha Beck!

There’s not a finer mind I’d rather listen to than Martha Beck! Xo

My new favorite podcast. Raises the vibes.

I love this podcast so much. Martha is so quirky and smart. It always makes me smile and I learn something I can put to use in my daily life each episode. Thank you Martha Beck!

Every time I listen, by the time I round the corner before coming to the bridge I am laughing. It is so good to have mirth in my life especially during these trying times. Also, there are very salient points seriously made throughout. Love this podcast!!

The podcast was great- loved it and really all of them. I do have a hard time listening though. My volume is up all the way but I miss some of it.

The “Your Forever Home” episode really resonated with me. It felt like the giant warm hug I didn’t know I needed! Such a great listen on the way home from work. Martha Beck feeds my soul and teaches me how to maintain doing so on my own!

I have been a therapist for almost 30 years, I read everything on mental health and follow many, many podcasts on life improvement. Martha is my #1 because she not only has specific strategies to implement immediately but because she is such an excellent teacher she can actually explain the rationale and the method like no one else. When I check my downloaded podcasts before heading out for a walk - no matter what is there, I will choose Martha’s podcast first because I know from experience that it will be the best of them all.

Martha’s words ring true and insightful! This podcast is full of joy, innovation and good ol’ wisdom. It’s a yes for me.

Great content that suffers from distraction when the host frequently takes big, very loud gulps of water. Really takes you out of the moment.
