Your work has expanded my view in wonderful ways. I’m grateful. Keep going. We all—our girl’s especially—need voices like yours to look to and learn from. Thank you!

I am a long time listener of Elise. She is a skilled and intelligent interviewer...like the smart friend you wish you had! I love her book, but her podcast is my favorite. She is both intellectual and relatable.

There’s a wackadoodle podcast of same name in u tube I was sad it wasn’t you!

Grateful for your work, Elise.

this podcast does important work and I look forward to it every week. I may not agree with everything or resonate with every topic. But the podcast has encouraged me to pull of the thread on topics important to me in my own life.

Great.

This episode was so insightful! Thank you ! I loved how you were able to engage with Richard!! Such wisdom and insight! Thank you!!!

I LOVE Elise. I’m getting turned off by everything turning into or relating to politics. I am not of the mindset that “the world is upside down” or “we live in strange times.”

Pulling the Thread, with Elise, is my late evening practice where I receive relaxation, inspiration, and always anticipation for the next episode.

I was really curious about this podcast, and was excited to give a listen because I found several of the episode titles to be right up my alley. Unfortunately after several tries I had to throw in the towel due to sensory sensitivities. I hope this comes across in a constructive way because you can see how much work is put into these episodes, but the recordings are riddled with “mouth sounds”. As much as I try to push through they eventually trigger such intense anxiety and sensory overload that I find them unlistenable. This is certainly not a concern for everyone but fair warning, I listen to hours of podcasts a week and this is the first one I had issues with.

Endlessly engaging, rich and insightful. Thank you Elise!

I am so glad I discovered this smart, insightful, relatable podcast just when I needed it after the election of DJT. Elise Loehnen is formidable and also a delight.

I discovered Elise through her book and have completely fallen in love with her. Her way of seeing and talking about the world is so relatable and trustworthy as someone who comes from an academic/scientific background and has discovered spirituality through experience. I love hearing her talk, she has incredible guests, and she does an amazing job interviewing. I would give her and her podcast one million stars if I could. Thank you Elise for being you and opening my eyes and world.

I found this podcast from another podcast where Elise was the guest. Her voice and manner are pleasant. I enjoy listening to her musings and views regarding theology living out faith. Her podcast helps me expand my understanding of life.

I’ve been reading and listening for a long time and like others, the podcast on Male podcasters was what prompted this long overdue review. Thank you for providing so much heart centered clarity for so long.

Please address the audio quality. I can hear every mouth noise you make. You say interesting things but I can barely stand listening.

Elise is a wonderful human and just really knows how to connect with her guests and the listener. I also recommend her book and Substack. She’s a voice for my GenX woman angst but more importantly explores these important topics no one else explores with equal depth. (Elise, if you’re reading this, I would love for you to interview Kelly Brogan about her book, the reclaimed woman. It would be fascinating to hear your take and listen to a conversation. I’m so thankful for women like you in the podcasting space! You have deeply enriched my life.

I have been listening to Elise for a while and respect to much of her work. She does such a beautiful job of intuitively knowing how I’m feeling, what’s on mind and articulating it so beautifully. I loved this last solo episode on spiral dynamics and the “brocast” space. Please keep doing this work - you’re voice is so needed (especially now).

Your episode today — My Unofficial Investigation of Male Podcasters — got me to take the time to write a review. I’m a regular listener and always find your podcast to have high value substance. You are a relevant and savvy voice of today. Particularly this episode has me cheering. I have thought the same thing many times and to hear you voice it out loud on a podcast with many listeners is gratifying and confirming. We need more women’s voices of substance to be heard.

Each podcast comes at just the right time - ty

I’m disappointed because I’ve discovered this podcast is not for me nor meant for me. I’ll just say it… i find the search for wholeness hypocritical while ignoring a genocide and the web of conflations, justifications, and othering that caused it. “These are the best of times” indeed for a certain segment of the population who are physically removed from harms way, and mentally protected from the discomfort of witnessing who we really are in the mirror of the scorched earth of Gaza. If you want a deep dive into change, go there and be with the other as if it is yourself and then see how quickly the thread comes undone.

The podcast I listen to immediately when uploaded. I love Elise and her work. I find her interviews to be engaging, though provoking, and grounding. She always has interesting, wise guests and I find her admiral and inspiring. Thank you Elise!!!! I am so grateful for this podcast and your work.

Love this podcast so much. Episodes are always thought provoking. I almost always have to rewind and listen to certain parts again to further digest and ponder. Just listened to the latest, “Which Part of the Drama Triangle Are You”, and loved learning about how the stories we each tell influence our dialogues and the roles we unconsciously assign others. Wow! Some really big aha moments for me in that conversation. Thank you for always bringing such great topics to light!

Pulling the thread is hands down my favorite podcast out there. It’s thought provoking and inspiring. Elise explores a wide array of topics that center around spirituality, self-transformation, psychology and philosophy. I get a little dopamine hit ever week when I see that the latest episode has been dropped.

Fabulous, eye-opening, thought-provoking conversations. Absolutely LOVE this podcast.

This will always be one of my favorite podcasts. Don’t stop what you’re doing! I will be a fan til the end.

The series on addiction is so thoughtful - lives will be saved

Listening to your show makes me a better person. Thank you for having conversations that matter.

Only just finding these podcasts recently, I am eager for more thoughtful interviews with guests like Mark Nepo and Thomas Hubl. As a 64 year old woman, there is still a great deal of personal healing to be done on the road to self acceptance and compassion for others. Even at this age, I am relieved and excited for these enriching and revealing conversations which serve to prompt us to remember who we are and inspire us to lighten our hearts with hope.

This show is so very important. Elise is an elegant hero for women and for human beings alike. Her brutal vulnerability and curiosity and eloquence is unmatched. This show has helped me endlessly. She is a wonderful most valuable what I would say icon of modern times. I only wish she knew how seriously beautiful and elegant she is. Unmatched in my view. Thank you Elise!

Give a warning word or sound before the abrupt disturbance

This host is brilliant, and yet I am driven crazy by her valley girl lilt, and tone and voice. Too many sentences and in question mark sounds; it’s possible to be expressive and dynamic without sounding like a teenager from the burbs.

I felt like I was home listening to Nicole Avant. I hope we keep this conversation open. I feel hopeful and want more of this kind of discussion. Thank you!

I have just finished listening to your episode with Resmaa Menakem about Finding Fear in the Body for the second time. Profound information. There is no other way to describe it. Thank you for engaging so deeply. For staying in the discomfort. Helping me learn on a much deeper level.

I just found this podcast and have already binged three episodes. The conversations are lively and well paced. And fascinating. Elise is a great host, you can tell she has done her research, but she clearly has great admiration and interest in her guests so it just flows. I have really enjoyed the subject matter which skips around - the guests are experts in their fields. This podcast will be keeping me company on my walks all summer long.

This has quickly become my very favorite podcast! I’m a mom of 4, and two of my kids are severely disabled with very complex medical needs. Professionally I am a board certified behavior analyst and love everything I’ve heard and read with the amazing, bright and talented Elise Loehnen!! Thanks for giving this weary woman amazing content to think about and discuss with friends!

So grateful for this podcast - For bringing experts to lead us all in conversations that are required to heal us collectively and individually. Love it so much!!

I’m very impressed with the complexities discussed and insights revealed through this Pulling the Thread!

So pleased to find both your book and your Podcast. Listened to Ann LaMott and Vienna Pharaon interviews with you — you bring new angles and insights to the conversation— much appreciate you!

I don’t even remember how I found you on Substack that then led me here. But after listening to you and Jeffrey Kripal I am hooked. Just up my street

Thank you for Jesus brining so much guidance, education and much needed clarity into the world.

I wholeheartedly rate this Podcast 5+++ STARS! I have been listening to this podcast since the beginning. Not only does Elise have the best laugh ever, but she has a wonderful interview style that allows for probing questions with detailed answers from the thought leader. On nearly every episode, I have a big “ah-ha” moment or I learn something entirely new (like spiral dynamics). I also love to hearing something that I find is 100% relevant to a friend. Thus, I frequently find myself listening and immediately forwarding episodes to friends that can also benefit from the helpful insights and perspectives from her diverse guests. Thank you for producing a fabulous podcast that always keeps me engaged, inspired and yearning for more!! I also know you are a “women owned” business and in honor of WO3 day a Grassroots effort to promote and support small women-led businesses, I am writing you this testimonial today on WO3 Day to support you and your mission! (wo3connect.com or @WO3connect) P.S. I am also an avid reader of your newsletters, Substack and your NY Times Best Selling Book and so I enjoy your “voice” coming through the written word! Thank you Elise and Bravo on all your contributions to inspire and educate us all.

Thank you, Elise, for today’s episode! Enlightening, educational, and inspiring!

I have listened to almost every episode and gained something valuable from each one. These topics are thought-provoking, life-affirming, and much-needed in our times. Thank you for your voice, heart, and intellect. Love, love, love this show!

I had checked out other resources on this topic and couldn’t get to the essence of why this system is useful/helpful - but this episode did it for me. Nicole Churchill brings such a balanced and elegant perspective to outlining this framework and I look forward to part 2 with her.

If ten minutes in I still have to guess what the episode is supposed to be about, then you are waisting my time.

The ads really blast out of nowhere. There is no musical or auditory segue into them, not even a moment of silence and they are mixed louder than the level of the conversation. This is very off putting. Maybe it’s good to have the reminder that podcasts about spirituality are consumerist products at their core

I truly enjoy listening to this podcast. Elise has such great guests and the conversations are always thought-provoking and interesting.

I am a regular listener and love the show. I appreciate the intelligent, insightful and honest look at varied topics. This episode was an exception for me. In contrast to your other shows on capitalism and the patriarchy I felt both in this interview. I am an Indigenous/hispanic woman who has been fortunate to experience enoughness because of my parents, grandparents struggles. I consider myself middle class and very blessed to have enough food, shelter and necessities in life. I am not buying $30 bars of soap. I find it ironic to suggest we encourage our children to be farmers, work with their hands , certainly they would not be buying $30 bars of soap either. Small farmers in Colorado where I live, are leaving farming because they can no longer provide for their families and say they do not want that life for their children. I believe we’ve reached a time that instead of pursuing abundance and luxury we should be focusing on sustainability and how we lift up those we can help. I would spend $10-15 on soap if I knew the same amount was being donated to someone in need of hygiene items. This episode made me uncomfortable and the benefit of that is I am reminded to share in my purchases and my giving to lift others up. Thank you for your podcast.

Elise is a master at interviewing an assortment of interesting guests, but it is also a place where Elise promotes her LA based circle of friends. Her association with people like Lacy Phillips and Zach Bush give me pause. I love her voice and the podcast is a high quality production. While I appreciate her interest in mysticism, her recent episode with Carissa Schumacher channeling Yeshua was off-putting. It was essentially a plug for her book, which ”Yeshua” endorses as a “very special book.”
