    Ivy Insights

    The A F*ckup's Guide To Self-Help podcast is a hidden gem that I recently stumbled upon and I couldn't be happier. Hosted by Jamie Kilstein, this podcast is a perfect blend of humor and vulnerability. Jamie's radical honesty and willingness to share his own struggles with depression and anxiety make the listener feel less alone and more accepting of their own humanness. The episodes are short, daily, and not overwhelming, making it easy to incorporate into my daily routine.

    One of the best aspects of this podcast is Jamie's ability to address serious topics while still being hilarious. He talks about current events in a way that doesn't make me hate everything and everybody like mainstream news outlets do. His unique perspective provides a refreshing take on our political climate in a light-hearted manner. Additionally, he brings on fun guests, incorporates jiu jitsu into the conversation, and provides helpful self-reflection.

    However, it's important to note that if you get easily offended, this podcast may not be for you. Jamie doesn't hold back and can be quite blunt in his discussions. While I appreciate his no-holds-barred approach, it may not resonate with everyone.

    In conclusion, The A F*ckup's Guide To Self-Help podcast is an amazing roller coaster ride of emotions. It provides laughs, deep conversations, and valuable insights all in one package. Jamie Kilstein is both hilarious and poignant as a host, making each episode entertaining and worthwhile. I highly recommend giving this podcast a listen if you're looking for something unique that will keep you informed, entertained, and feeling less alone in this crazy world we live in.
