    Lots of false info
    The show had promise but I had to give up after a while. They have all these “experts” on, but they lost me when they were when they were talking about that they agreed with Joe Rogan that you can rid your body of cancer by fasting. They also talked about that birth control is evil for your body. But when they brought on Candace Owens and all her conspiracy theories, I just couldn’t anymore. Combined with the maga loving overtones in the show It’s just not something I can support.

    Gone down hill
    Used to like this show more when first started….lately it’s been Aurora giving advice she is not qualified to give and rambling about her bad dating decisions. We’ve all been there gf but time to get it together. Also sick of hearing her and her sister diagnose guys with narcissism etc when again, they aren’t qualified and sound silly. Love the Culpo sisters but this podcast has ran its course.

    Justice for Kristen
    I keep trying to get into it but it’s really become too self help-y and a snooze.
  • VEVan727
    Five stars!
    I LOVE this podcast. I relate to a lot of what Aurora talks about and I love her honesty and willingness to share about her life journey and past struggles. She is hilarious and this podcast is so fun to listen to being that I am also a 35 year old mother (of toddlers) who takes Zoloft and is now sober. I liked the podcast when Kristen was co-hosting, but I think you made the right move to host on your own! Keep up the great work!!

    Excited
    I’ve been a weekly listener since the beginning even though Kristen’s privilege and lack of putting herself in others shoes was unbearable to listen to at times. Auroras vibe kept me listening and two episodes in with Aurora in her solo era and I’m sooo glad I stayed. This is what I’ve been waiting for👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
  • LANY123_red
    Love
    Aurora is hilarious and so down to earth. So happy this podcast will be featuring JUST her. Love her take on life and cannot wait to see where this podcast goes! So excited to listen every week!!!!!!!!
  • DanielleC31931
    I can’t wait for more!
    I absolutely loved listening to these ladies talk. I will definitely miss Kristen’s perspective but excited to see where this podcast will go.
  • MileyplusFuture
    Everyone RUN to Season 2!!!
    This is it!!! Aurora you are going to kill it this season. Keep sharing the details of your life, being unapologetically yourself, and making us all feel normal for being a little cray. Can’t wait to hear more and keeping listening to your solo journey 🎤

    Kristen 👏🏼
    Felt compelled to leave a review because of all the hate I’ve seen for Kristen in these reviews- it’s always interesting how women say they are for women…. until they are a happily married conservative women. She’s passionate about her children, health and country and is getting dragged by the loud minority of woke women on this specific platform who only want to hear sex and the city style content. Kristen - your views and thoughts are refreshing, and more women are turning their focus towards family and the state of our country because that is what truly matters. Never be ashamed of that. Excited to see you move towards projects with substance and spine!

    Speak without knowing
    Disappointed to hear the comments and lack of education it seems that comes from Kristen. She is very much one view of her way or no way with her thoughts and views. She speaks women’s empowerment but then talked about how Brittnay Mahomes shouldn’t have been on sports illustrated because she hasn’t done anything for sports. Brittnay is a co owner of a women’s professional sports team and was instrumental in having a stadium built, she was also a professional soccer player. That way more connection to sport than Kristen has who did a competition to be in sports illustrated and her only connection to sports is her husband who is an ex professional athlete.

    Refreshing
    Thank goodness I found this podcast. It’s truly the only one I’ve found where the women actually support other women regardless of their choices and political stances. It’s been such a fun refreshing part of my day when I listen
  • cys2020
    Kristen is awful
    Aurora seems empathetic and open minded and their topics are interesting. However, Kristen is judgemental and uneducated. Kristen is horrible and comes across in a very privileged and unkind way. You can express your political views without being hateful.
  • jingledout
    Ugh
    Aurora seems ok but KRISTEN good god they’ll give anyone a podcast huh? Beyond damaging to give someone with her brain (or shall I say lack thereof) a platform
  • nikki j 1002
    Kristen spewing nonsense as facts
    Kristen needs to touch grass and stop getting her “news” from Fox and OAN. aurora please keep calling her out bc my god she is spewing constant lies and nonsense is gross.

    I love Aurora and I think she carried the show, but had to stop listening because of Kristin. I won't platform a hateful and uneducated person.
  • SR307
    Five stars for Aurora
    I keep trying to give this podcast a listen. I LOVE Aurora, but I can’t get past Kristen. She’s fake, tells me I need to be pretty and have my nails done, she is all about how Trump will “protect the kids,” is awful about anyone with different opinions than her (devil worshipers), anti vaxx, and shares “studies” claiming French fries because it’s bad, yet she pumps face with fillers, Botox, and opted for fake boobs. Botox and fake boobs can’t be any better than French fries. She’s very privileged and her out of touch opinions make my blood boil. I appreciate that Aurora tries to see another side, but it’s not there. I wish Aurora would start another podcast without someone so judgmental and privileged. Sorry most of us can’t afford fake nails, boob jobs, or even to eat healthy. Some of us can’t afford rent.

    Kristen, stop with the politics
    Listened to several episodes of this podcast. Like many others, came for Aurora, leaving because of Kristen. We don’t all want to hear about your political views, your MAGA purse and your love of a misogynistic/fraudulent/unlawful human. My advice is to stop talking about politics entirely.
  • bcoleman1010
    Ugh
    I love Aurora, but I can’t handle Kristen’s ignorant comments. Most recently when discussing Brittany Mahomes, she says “I won’t comment on another woman’s looks” which is pretty much the equivalent of commenting on another woman’s looks. She has no place being the host of a podcast about health, wellness, and beauty and whose base is primarily women. I should have stopped listening long ago, the first time Kristen started on her “anti-woke” rants. I can only hope that Aurora separates from Kristen at some point because I would gladly follow any podcast Aurora does. But for now, I’m done ✌🏼
  • Williams.1.3.4
    Go Kristen!!!
    Been listening to yall for awhile. Love you both. So proud of Kristen for standing up for the silent majority. Lots of people in the pod space won’t.
  • KeganM91
    Misinformed and uneducated
    Started listening because of Aurora Stopped listening because of Kristen. How uneducated and misinformed Kristen is mind blowing. People like her should absolutely should not have any platform 👎
  • aprilbyvictoria
    Love it
    I love the rawness, vulnerability and ability for them both to disagree with each other and talk through their reasoning. This is a different type of honesty than I’ve heard in most podcasts, especially any podcasts in this industry. Keep making more! - April Sixsmith
  • pialeilani
    kristen…
    is one of the most uneducated, misinformed and unhinged people i have ever listened to. she’s someone who has zero understanding of actual health, political and social issues, so she clings to (mis)information she must see on her algorithm and parrots it as truth. i used to love following aurora, but anyone who associates with someone like kristen is just as harmful. aurora claims she is being open minded, but the reality is some people should not have a platform, and by sharing one with kristen, she loses all credibility. my heart breaks for kirsten’s children.
  • Kristmcgt
    What is this podcast’s identity?
    I’ve tried to listen multiple times and I could not even slightly describe what this podcast is and what it’s goals and purpose are. You have a cover photo of two naked women. In the bio Kristen is referenced as a ‘tech nerd’ and the CEO of a children’s company that I have never heard of and that has no website. None of these things have ever been relevant to any of the episodes. What is the point of this podcast, because it’s becoming clear that one day Kristen told Aurora that they should have a podcast. Is there any idea of the larger vision and how you’d want the Barely Filtered content and community to look like?
  • MollyMiles08
    Love both hosts!
    They both bring a unique perspective but good god the episode with Amanda Hirsch/@notskinnynotfat was legit UNBEARABLE to listen to. Never heard a more conceited/rude guest come on a podcast before. 5 stars still for Aurora and Kristen 💕🪽
  • Laur Elizabeth
    Aurora is great..Kristen makes it hard to listen
    I love Aurora but Kristen has this holier than thou attitude and it makes it unbearable to listen.
  • marissa11591
    Love the pod!!!
    But solo eps are my fav ;)
  • WayBay (sisters4lyfe)
    Interruption central
    Great topics and guests but the amount times everyone interrupts one another is maddening.
  • ErynEA
    Life changing
    This podcast is life changing! I look forward to this podcast every week!
  • jstrayer2023
    So good!
    I look forward to listening to this podcast every week! You girls are so funny and entertaining and smart! I super enjoyed the Candace Owens episode. Thank you!!
  • futurebabymama456
    Loved that you had Candace Owens on!
    Thanks for opening up and being authentic.
  • emilywarren
    Loved the Candace episode!
    Found you through that episode and am excited to keep listening!
  • Kate1211225
    Same issues with Kristen
    I hate to write a review on this but I agree with the others. Kristen is very opinionated to the point where she isn’t open to new information and mindsets. The last straw was when she commented something like “men are great, they built this country” — why is this? Well, it’s because women were considered property and weren’t allowed to work, so…..
  • Sh513
    Aurora, yes… Kristen, no.
    I love listening to Auroras takes because she is open minded and open to different perspectives. Kristen is insufferable and hard to listen to. Someone else mentioned they both seem gullible and vulnerable to misinformation, which I’d agree with. I do enjoy listening to them discuss certain topics but Kristen has very cringey opinions.
  • AmandaN02736
    The ignorance is loud
    Aurora seems open minded, and like she is willing to hear both sides of any situation. Kristen seems holier than thou and kind of like she’s trying to be a ‘cool girl’. It comes off as very pick me. Both of them seem like they are just gullible and ill informed on anything deeper than what’s coming up on their fyp. Too surface level for some of the subjects they are trying cover. Seems like they’d do better with more of a fluff based podcast.
  • Tfor58
    Boooooooring
    Wow….this is a tough listen. Kristen, learn to stop talking over people. I was trying to give more episodes a chance but I’ve decided I just can’t. There are too many great podcasts out there to waste time “attempting” to like something that is so off.
  • Ruddy12123
    Hide your kids
    Seriously tho, Kristen is an anti-vaxxer with her kids. Would love to see you all bring on a qualified hospital pediatric MD and have her actually listen to them and not talk over. ✌🏼
  • Allthatmattersarethestars
    Growing pains
    Aurora is so authentic and open it’s refreshing. Could listen to a podcast of her rambling all day. Kristen is quite literally insufferable. She has a holier than thou attitude and it’s so off putting. Even while speaking to the guests she incredibly condescending and sometimes misses the point. Aurora 5 stars, find a new cohost.
  • Ginefra5674
    Kristen not a good host
    I love Aurora and the guest speakers, but Kristen pleaseeeee stop over talking everyone and trying to own every conversation. I have listened to most of the podcasts and she is constantly interrupting and not letting the other hosts finish their thoughts. It is really making it difficult to continue listening to the podcast because it happens on every single episode.
  • Podcastgirlie111
    Meh
    Here is the truth- Kristen is incredibly sanctimonious and a know it all. Aurora has a good vibe going and is very open and non-judgmental. She’s interested in learning and is much more fun to listen to/ go along the ride with. Every time Kristen comes on it is like she is trying to brag, prove something, or one-up. The girl is so insecure but props herself up as “confident” and it is so cringey. Also, the way she expresses her politics is cringe as well, I am very moderate and borderline conservative as well but the way she goes about sharing her self righteous opinions is embarrassing for everyone and an eye roll. Coming from a place of vulnerability and understanding and being eager to learn is what people enjoy from podcast hosts. Not a girl who thinks she already knows everything and is so defensive.
  • Cloooch
    Love it! So entertaining
    They are so down to earth, funny and enjoyable to listen to! I love their guests too.
  • reallykay
    Yaaaaaaaass
    After listening to Aurora’s episode on Barely Famous, I was totally following her to this podcast. I binged these episodes in 2 days and I’m loving it. You two are interesting on your own, but I’m loving the guests that you bring on!! So much information has been shared and I’ve learned a lot of beneficial information regarding myself. I love that you two don’t always agree on every topic and you will say that and then have a conversation about it. I agree with your views and the way you both conduct yourself, so much. I’m here for it!
  • lilymcneil7

  • Lauren.elizabeth1
    Entertaining but…
    Love Aurora, she has such raw, real advice and I love that she can disagree with her cohost. Kristin tries so hard, too hard to have BDE, very cringe. But overall the podcast is very entertaining and I appreciate the real life topics.
