    Love the show!
    I came across this show after I finally made a tik tok now I’m subscribed. I enjoy listening on my way home after work at 2 a.m.

    A fun guy with sound advice. He loves you like you're his family and guides you like he's your therapist. Such a great show!

    Obsessed.
    Love this show; it’s fabulous. Everyone needs to take a listen; I learn something every time! Note for the production team- in today’s episode (4/12) there’s a commercial that cuts into the convo?

    Hope
    I discovered this show oh my FYP on TikTok a few months ago and I’ve been binge-listening, from mid March 2024 and now in October 2023. I wish I’d had access to John’s wisdom earlier in my life. I find myself exhaling like John when I’m anxious or stressed. Yesterday, I looked in the mirror, held my hand to my chest, and said “I love you, and you’re worth it.” Thank you, Dr. John and your whole team for being here. I would love if you could organize a weekend for non-married, non-coupled people. That would be a blast!

    Excellent podcast!

    Genuinely Great
    In a day where content is curated and often cheesy, I find Dr. John Delony's show a breath of fresh air. Between the heartfelt calls, the honest feedback and the banter between him and Kelly, I’m hooked. I listen so often that I often find myself parroting advice I’ve heard on the show to myself, my friends, my family, and let’s be honest, to people I just met at the grocery store, if they ask. Indeed, the greatest mental health podcast around!

    Incredibly Life-giving
    Since I’ve started listening to Dr. John’s podcast, I have been more attuned to my own experiences and how they shape who I am today without letting them dictate what my life will look like moving forward. He tackles tough subjects with wisdom and somehow always seems to find the space where truth and grace overlap. Thanks for speaking into so many lives-whether callers or listeners, like me. (Also thanks for the shout out to the athletic trainers in your life-you’re spot on!!)

    Best mental health podcast ever

    Free Resource for Mental Health Information
    Dr John Delony is providing a wealth of information about mental health in these shows. In a country where mental health care costs and carries a stigma, free resources are a treasure. If you are struggling, and looking for tools that could improve your situation… He is worth a listen! He is entertaining and down to earth. He is easy to listen to, clear and concise. Totally worth a try!

    Not bad
    Stop cutting ppl off I want to hear what they’re trying to say. Other than that really good

    🥴
    I’ve been a fan of the show for a while. I like John and he’s a great communicator. Generally gives great advice. The episode released on 3.22.24 “sex conversations with my wife are uncomfortable” gave me a pit in my stomach. John said “she’s not ride or die” about the man’s wife because she wouldn’t pull a random card out of a pile and do the sex act that her admittedly porn-addicted husband wanted to do. He also had no context for what the husband was asking the wife to do. The husband said his wife was “afraid” to pull one of his sex requests out of the pile because of the nature of his desires. Marriage isn’t a prison cell where you have to perform whatever degenerate sex act your partner wants you to because you’re “ride or die.” Incredible disregard for the wife’s clear trauma. Yikes.

    Helpful & Relatable
    I LOVE this show - Dr. John rocks! Solid advice delivered with empathy, compassion and directness. What a service he provides. I’m hooked😍
  • Tarrin:)
    Relatable & practical
    I’ve never connected so much to a show! Not every episode is something I’ve dealt with but there’s always a helpful takeaway I can use!
  • Acpacpacp
    Can’t support Ramsey
    The 1 star is for the company, not the show. I actually like Delony and generally agree with his advice, but it’s not possible for me to separate him from the Ramsey company anymore. Given how Delony talks about character and values, it’s hard for me to understand how he justifies working for a company that fires women for being pregnant out of wedlock, or for coming out as gay (even if they aren’t sexually active!) Look up the lawsuits — I just can’t wrap my head around this company’s values and can’t support them any longer.

    Best show!
    Look forward to every show! You never know what you’re going to get!!
  • BDairyQueen
    Listen to 2
    Just trust me. Listen to two episodes. You’ll laugh out loud, you’ll want to scream, you’ll learn something. Or a lot of things. John is helping me be a better friend/sister/coach/employee/manager.
  • idontgetthispodcast
    Am I trippin or…
    Did they delete the only fans episode off of YouTube? I wasn’t a huge fan of how John handled it but I’m surprised they would take it off the platform because of a little backlash.
  • itsCloudiLeo
    Spot on
    Such good advice!
  • c_f_528
    You’re in trouble Dr D!
    Good grief, the advice for the man wanting his wife to take his last name. I won’t be listening any more.
  • me ayer
    Great vibes.
    Very helpful. Dr Deloney gives you the tools to help you with most any situation. His first few episodes are not as good as his newer ones, which is understandable, it’s not easy to do when you start something new for the first time. It takes time. Trial and error. He even admitted he didn’t do right by one caller and called him to apologize and they did a do over. Anyone who admits their mistakes and try’s to make it right tells you a lot about their character. He’s human just like us and is very relatable. Although many of the situations do not pertain to me, I absolutely use his tools that he shares with those callers in my own relationships and life, and they work. Do the work people, work on yourself and relationships. If life was easy, he wouldn’t have a show, you wouldn’t be paying over $100 an hour to therapists and you wouldn’t be depressed and full of anxiety.
  • StClairSteve
    Love it!
    Keep it up Dr. John, you’re creating conversations and discussions people need! Definitely challenges how you think!
  • Thuylinh321
    I understand my life better thanks to Dr. Delony
    The conversations here help me aware of my own problems, my past and present self. I feel heard and shared. Thank you all callers for sharing your stories. You’re not alone. Thank you Dr. Delony for being a good friend this human race needs :)

    My favorite podcast
    I love this podcast! Dr. Delony is such an expert on emotional health and a true inspiration. His advice has changed my life for the better.
  • lmbk1111
    Egomaniac
    This guy doesn’t listen, cuts people off and talks all about himself. Ten years ago, he seems to have suffered the same ailments as 90% of the callers, including being a pathological liar, but now he’s amazing! He feels inauthentic, disingenuous and a braggart. I gave him many episodes, old and new. All are bad. I feel for these desperate people.
  • Mr_Mayor_K

    If you are not listening to Dr. D, you need too. Forget the other podcasts that folks are putting out there to help you improve your mental health. The real, authenticity of Dr. Delony is palpable. He is the real deal.
  • TheRealSarahh
    Listening to this podcast is refreshing and therapeutic!
    This podcast is remarkable in many ways. I listen almost daily. I find it healing and it’s almost like you can relate to the scenarios in your own way and gain new perspectives that better your life. John and the gang are awesome and it’s a pleasure to get to listen to them! I highly recommend tuning in!

    The most entertaining “how to change” podcast
    The most entertaining “how to change” podcast. I learn something new about myself and my relationships daily by listening!
  • jasieldc
    Great show!!
    I unfortunately found this podcast late, wish I found it sooner. I saw him on TikTok and it was a clip that was basically my life that he was talking about. It punched me in my gut! I had to listen to the show!! And it’s so eye opening. I have changed the way I speak to my boyfriend; set boundaries with family. I have bought his newest book (can’t wait till it comes). I’m still working on myself, but I feel in a weird way that I’m not alone. Thank you Dr John and team!! And be nicer to Kelly, she’s awesome!! Lol ;p
  • Dixfjehbfjkrn
    Love!
    So glad I found this thanks to the Ramsey handle. Dr. John is sincere and real and offers truth. Thank you for helping us all!!
  • Subby1981
    Brilliant
    I absolutely love this show. I love Dr. John and Kelly is my spirit animal! Dr. John, don’t ever minimize yourself because you are an absolute rockstar 😊
  • psychelover

    Organify Ads are disheartening
    I’ve listened almost religiously since 2020, I really enjoy this show and have learned a lot, but the now organify ads are making me loose faith in John’s integrity. Is Thorne the greatest supplement company that he takes every day, or is it organify? He took a whole segment the explain why Thorne was the actual best in the world, then without warning or explanation, there is a new best in the world that he and his family take. Yet the link to Thorne is still live on the new episodes. It’s kind of like the marijuana/cbd ad that came up for just a few episodes then vanished - it doesn’t fit the integrity of the show trying to be a reliable, research-based heath and wellness source. PLEASE, at least explain what in the world is going on or drop the new company.
  • trinitybanne
    I love the realness.
    The first episode I ever listened stopped me dead in my tracks. I was deep cleaning the kitchen while my entire house slept. Dr.John was taking about “if busyness is your drug then relaxing will feel like stress”. And those words made me cry as I realized that was what my husband had been trying to explain to me about myself. I love the straightforwardness Dr.John always has. He really makes people look at the bigger picture of their issues and where they may initially stem from instead of the surface crap we all try to blame things on.

    Life Changing Material!
    I listen as much as I can. I don’t believe I’ve missed an episode. Applying the things I learn has impacted my life in every aspect. I get married next month and I am by far a better partner than I was a couple years ago just by listening and applying the lessons learned to my life. Thanks, John and Team!
  • BarbieBellah

    So good!!
    Dr John is so real and a straight shooter. And he really really cares! So glad I found this podcast.
  • Erinbethie
    Good stuff
    I truly enjoy listening. I started listening several months ago, and now that I host a mental health podcast through my school, I appreciate his insight even more! THANK YOU JOHN DELONY! @erinbethie
  • James Rothstein
    Real advice on mental health!
    Dr. John has always been one of my favorite hosts on the Dave Ramsey show. I’m so sorry he has to do with Kelly each day if she is reading this. Please take that as a joke because you are awesome! I have never listened to this podcast until a month ago. I listen to three episodes a day and I got my wife to listen and it truly helped my life. I appreciate you so much.
  • jk1212
    everything is amazing, except…
    the intro drives me nuts. its always a different length before you get to the meat of the show. the ramblings, the subtle flirting with Kelly. i would love it if they started the first caller at the same time stamp every show. better yet include time stamps! the calls themselves are amazingggg. love you John
  • Shari1979
    Something Has Changed…
    I’ve listened to Dr. John since he was first introduced by Dave Ramsey and have enjoyed all of his shows. Sadly, I’ve noticed a change lately where he gaslights his guests and interrupts them to say things like ‘you don’t love your spouse’ or ‘get out now’ or ‘he doesn’t love you’ when he’s only heard them speak for a total of 30 minutes. It seems like he has changed so much and the advice he gives doesn’t sound like advice from an expert. He’s very self-deprecating which in itself leads to less credibility.
