I learned a lot from years of listening to Dr Laura but had to stop as she felt destructive and was mean at times. I’ve missed listening to advice on life and just came across this podcast and I’m obsessed!! John is so much better and I feel uplifted and stronger after each episode. I’m a life long listener and so happy I have a bunch of episodes to binge and send to friends and family to help with all of lives challenges. I’m not religious but things like this are like church for me with reminders on good morals and decisions. Thanks for doing what you do!

In short this is a good show. Pros: he dives in deep right away, often seems to cut to the chase much quicker than a therapist would. Has some excellent insights. Cons: he appears to be tough on males. If a female calls in and complains about her spouse he supports her in that. If a male calls in and has a concern about his spouse he rarely holds that person accountable and puts the onus on the male. An example of this was todays show where a man called in asking if he should adopt his wife’s son. The marriage is on the rocks and both of them have had prior marriages, so high risk for divorce. The wife has said she was going to leave several times AND HE STILL SUGGESTED THAT THIS MAN ADOPT HER KID. That is horrible advice that has significant legal and financial implications for this caller, possibility leaving his life in ruin if the relationship doesn’t indeed work out.

I have been in the personal development realm and have had therapy so I always felt like I knew all I could learn. Dr. John has taught me how to have better boundaries and how to communicate in a better way. Although the callers are often hard to relate to I walk away with great ways to navigate my own life. I love his light hearted but straightforward advice. The Real Deal!!

Fellow therapist, trauma survivor, human etc etc… got into this podcast & loved it until an episode w/ woman who’s victim of DV. While he took her safety seriously, I really hate how he shamed her about why she stayed and how “she isolated herself” etc. there was so much victim blaming and a lack of awareness and understanding of DV/abusive dynamics. Triggering and disappointing. That woman deserved so much more than being blamed and shamed and spoken to so firmly. Also heard one where he questioned a woman who’s husband wanted her to lose weight. The way he questioned her progress was so misdirected and messed up. Her husband sounded like the problem or her mental health not scrutinizing her lack of minor weight loss, ugh

it started off being at target buying your book “Building a Non-anxious life” it drew me in with the title. I noticed you have a podcast along with a friends recommendation and I’ve been glued every since. It’s only been not even a week!!!! Your podcasts are amazing and give such great insight. Forever a fan!!!!!! God Bless you both!!!

This is the only podcast that I listen to every show. I’ve gleaned so much helpful advice. It’s personal, so very practical, and solid on principle. I appreciate the straight forward truth and humility. And I love Kelly’s quick-witted retorts.

This podcast has changed how I see the world, relationships, boundaries, and myself. I am healthier and happier because of Dr Deloney and his crew. If you know me, I’ve told you about this podcast.

I couldn’t imagine this show without John and Kelly’s banter. It brightens my day. The show can get heavy and John and Kelly help bring the light and levity. Please never stop! Dr. John makes a difference in so many lives including mine. Kelly just makes it much more fun with their brother/sister banter! 😂❤️

Dr John is really cares and his advice is really helpful. I have shared a lot of these podcasts with others and have found it very helpful in my life and relationships as well. Thanks for this great podcast.

I’ve been listening to you since the beginning. I tell everyone that I love and care about about your show. Your sense of humor and reactions are so down to earth and relatable. The hallow ads and religious undertones are not really a hit with our demographic in the Northeast. I definitely think that hinders your reach. But it doesn’t change my love for you!

Love this series, as someone currently in grad school for clinical mental health counseling, I love hearing how he can discuss large issues in such a short span of time.

LOVE this show!!

The best, kindest, well educated. I try to not miss an episode.

This ‘Dr’ talks about himself and his experience as he’s giving advice. And then promotes his products and services as a cure pill. Big no no for this podcast.

Changing lives! Thank you. 🙏🏽

What annoys me is that no matter what the problem is, John explains how he already has it figured out and is implementing the solution with his own kids and everything is perfect at his house. Blah. Also, could we name drop the Mind Pump people a little less?

I listen just about every day. Keep your notes open, because you are guaranteed to hear something you want to do different, or add to enhance your life and relationships. Great show.

Perfect for women who want someone to tell them what they already know and men who are lllllllost and need another dude to guide them. Dr. John is excellent at validating and cutting to the heart of any matter

I have learned so much about myself from listening to your podcast. I bought both your books and they are so helpful. Thank you !

Lost me on the “red pill” comment. I thought you were slightly conservative. That was a turn off.

Wonderful podcast. Great advise.

Dr. John is an awesome guy, an awesome therapist, and a perfect voice for common sense in so many areas. Having been in therapy myself, I love how he brings in neuroplasticity, holistic healing, healing in the body, and just great talk therapy. Great addition to the Ramsey Team.

Delony’s podcast is relating and the way he talks is genuine: he always knows what to say. 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.

Dr John nails it. His advice is epic and many aspects he shares are helpful for any spouse, parent, or loved one! He takes extra time (we can hear, likely longer) to help those guests that many are in the worst spots of their lives.

Great show

The moon landing was a hoax

Love the show, listen a lot. Get kind of tired of hearing John say ‘here’s another 6’2’ white male telling her about her body’…what does being a white male have to do with it? Does a black male have more inherent knowledge about a woman’s hormones? What does 6’2 happen to do with it? Does a 5’8 male understand this? Are you a trained professional or not? You never apologize to a bipolar person…’here goes another non-bi-polar person giving advice to a bi-polar person’…if you have advice to give great! Give it. If not don’t.

I wanted to know do you do follow up with these callers? Does anyone call back with results?Thank you!

I could listen to Dr John alllll day but his sidekick Kelly is grating and annoying. There is no alignment or chemistry with those two. Dump Kelly and you wind up with a 5-star show.

I am a school teacher. I deal with trauma everyday- in kids and their families. One thing I’ve always had a passion for is behavior- I’m constantly analyzing the behavior of those I serve in order to find ways to serve them better. I appreciate so much the ways Dr John walks through each situation- it often refines or affirms the conclusions I’ve come to know throughout my career. Sometimes (actually MANY times..) I add things to my toolbox to use with families. I also very much appreciate his approach to ADHD— my colleagues over the years are always quick to make it so clinical or the way John says “ like there is something wrong with someone’s brain..”. I’ve had many ADHD kids in my care and the connection issue seems to really make a ton more sense to me— I’ve never known how to articulate that until now— I just knew what I was being told didn’t seem right. I’d love to see/hear the podcast M-F instead of 3 days a week but that’s really the only change I’d make. James and Kelly are amazing too and I’m glad that John has incorporated them into the show like he has:)

Love the show. Curious about the cards you mentioned on last show to the lady working to rebuild her marriage

This is one of the most authentic conversations in podcast land. I love that you listen and respond in a kind and compassionate manner. Nothing is off limits. Your team is the best. Keep up being the real you. I love the Ramsey teams. 🙏

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!

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?

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!

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!

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!!)

Ive learned so much from just listening to dr John speak. He’s amazing, I’m one on the original 17 😉 Ive listened to as many as I can keep up with with chasing 3 littles around

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!

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.

I think you’re absolutely amazing. Thank you.

Love love love this show. I’ve seen you on tic tok but didn’t know you had a podcast till I heard you on The Shawn Ryan show. I am so happy I have found this.

He’s a rockstar!

This podcast has changed my life for the better!

I LOVE this show - Dr. John rocks! Solid advice delivered with empathy, compassion and directness. What a service he provides. I’m hooked😍

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!

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.

Look forward to every show! You never know what you’re going to get!!
