    Eh.
    Love you Christi, but this really ain’t it. The gabbing at the beginning is fun but goes on for too long. The retelling of stories are poorly researched and not at all well told. They are interesting stories though. And, just like Back to the Barre, there are WAAAAAY too many advertisements. It seems ridiculous to have that many ads when you also have a Patraeon… Good listen but nowhere near as fun as Christi’s Couch, Back to the Barre, or other horror/crime podcasts.

    Really enjoying the new format!
    I like christi and Steven’s chemistry. It feels like hanging out with good friends. If you’re into all things spooky, I’d recommend this pod!

  • Monslife
    Love the humor
    I loved listening to Christi’s Nola vampires podcast with Stephen. Christi is a great host ,These two are like listening to your friends tell you stories, I found the conversations humorous keeping them lively and casual, I liked the stories, the cultural insights and local Nola facts. I can’t wait to take all the Alchemy tours next time I visit !
  • Christi’s biggest fan 😝
    Christi’s couch
    This was amazing and I will keep hearing this. It’s not just because I’m a huge fan of dance mom’s,it’s also because she makes everything just better. I think she needs more podcasts and to do one with Chloe in in. Now if you excuse me I will be watching dance moms! -your biggest fan
  • dalenxx

  • YourLocalDeathEater
    I love Christi soooo muchhh!
    Omg Christi is an absolute girl boss! Nobody tells Christi what to do and she owns her beautiful nose like it’s nobody’s business! I personally think she is beautiful! She also did a wonderful job on Chloe because she is just as amazing as her mother! Christi, keep doing what your doing because you’re amazing! ❤️❤️❤️ (p.s. you were one of my fav dance moms! Along with Holly and Kelly!) I hope you respond because I have legitimately been watching dance moms for so long!❤️❤️❤️

  • Carolina and Savannah
    This Podcast is amazing
    I like learning about what really happened behind the scenes in dance moms. The podcast is not just about dance moms but also includes special guests and just is a fun, interesting podcast. I doubt that Christy will see this but if she dose I would like to say: Hi you are my favorite mom from dance moms and Chloe and Clara are so amazing.

    Gen Z’s godmother!
    Christi’s podcast is a must-listen for anyone who feels like they aren’t quite sure how to “adult.” She always covers topics that you don’t learn in school but you wish you did, like staying safe in your 20s, managing your mental health, and finding peace with your body. Plus, Christi is like your friend’s cool mom, so you’re sure to love her podcast!

    You dont talk about SP until 15 minutes left, and you are way behind on the story.

    Love listening to this podcast
    I really enjoy listening to your podcast. The young lady from your most recent podcast is a very inspirational young woman.

    Love you and the podcast
  • Jfsvkjgdcnkgdcnjfcbkfdbkf
    Appreciate the realness!
    I truly appreciate the real Christy and how she doesn’t change herself for anyone. She is real and talks about things that interest a wide range of ages. I love this podcast. Keep up the excellent work Christy. I am sitting at work bawling listening to the Mental health podcast from 6/30/22. Today was the first time I have left my house in a week because of my depression crippling me. It is so nice to know someone real understands.

    Such a good podcast to listen to while working!!!
    I love Christi and her personality so it’s fun for me to listen to this podcast. Listening to this podcast help me get through my work days so easily. Its like having a friend there with me. Im in my mid-20s so there are a lot of fun topics I can relate to. Even if there are topics I’m uninterested in, I’ll still listen to it because it’s all entertaining to some degree with Christi as a host.
  • CAM IS AMAZING
    LOVE
    I love how real Christi is when sharing her opinions over a broad range of things. I love her insights and fun facts about dance moms and her love for true crime. She has amazing guests that really add to each episode. The BEST podcast ever.
  • LisaLoc
    Honest and Entertaining
    I love this podcast- very real and helpful in many ways. I CANNOT WAIT for Christi and Kelly’s new podcast to premier I am literally waiting with bated breath to hear THEIR take on each and every DM episode!!! It’s what every Christi fan has been waiting for. Face it- we all love behind the scenes info on everything Dance Moms and we are finally going to get it!!!
  • ava kate🤍
    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
    Christi is a natural! Born to host podcasts (and raise kids too lol)! 🎙 I have learned so much and enjoyed every episode I have listened to. I am looking forward to many more episodes!! 🫶🏻
  • S!a!r!a!h
    I. LOVE. CHRISTI!!!!
    I have recently rediscovered Christi and she is just the definition of a cool mom! Not only does she give great advice, but she makes me feel like i’m chatting with an old friend! I’m about to graduate college this May, and have gained so much insight from her advice and lessons. Love you Christi!!
  • Dr. Olinger
    Favorite Podcast!!
    I’ve been listening to this podcast since it launched and I love love love the content. I love that Christi is honest and vulnerable about her personal growth journey. I am growing myself and can relate to everything she says about moving on from past and healing in an appropriate way. Christi is so relatable and has proved she is not the jealous crazy dance mom they portrayed her to be on Dance Moms. She was a mama bear that wanted the best for her child and protected her at all cost. The proof is in the pudding! Chloe seems to be thriving in young adulthood and that’s a direct reflection of her mother. Thank you Christi for being vulnerable and sharing your life with us, the good, bad, and ugly! It has encouraged me to address my own healing! I love the pivot of the most recent podcast as a 40 year old that has a PhD and successful career, but still figuring out life because my job has burned me out, it has helped me tremendously!! I bought the Miracle Morning because of you and it had has changed my outlook about life and what I need to do in order to make positive changes in my life. (Had to edit my typos, type A personality 🤷🏽‍♀️)

I look forward to this podcast every week! Christi’s outlook, advice, and tips have truly contributed to my life. You will not regret tuning in. I can’t thank her enough!!

    LOVE THIS PODCAST
    Hi Cristi, your probably not even reading this but I love your podcast so much and I wanted you to know that I listen to the other dance moms podcast and I like yours a lot better 🤫🤫🤫
  • AvrilStyles
    Love this podcast!
    Really enjoying listening to Christi every week. She always has fun/deep topics to talk about. I just have to say her recent episode about what’s hold you back from reaching your resolutions REALLY resonated with me. I really needed to hear that. Thanks Christi !!!
  • wh&
    Jonbenet part 2... or Madeleine McCann
    Apparently there is a new suspect named Glenn Meyer in her case, can you do an episode on that whether you think it’s the same or think it’s him? There’s also a new suspect in Madeleine McCann so maybe you could do a podcast on her? Edit- You should want Emily In Paris on Netflix it’s really good!!!!

    I don’t know why I love this podcast so much but Calming listening at the end of the day turned into so much more and I joined her finance workshop one week for women and it has turned my whole life around (financially). Sometimes i listen for fun others I feel like I’m learning random things in the smoothest way. Thanks for the awesome podcast! It’s the one of the most random but awesome things I enjoy about my week!

    The secrets of feminine power with Gina DeVee
    Who knew Christi from Dance Moms would have such a positive impact on my life. This was a fabulous episode! Just what I needed as we end 2021 and begin a new year.
  • Atlanta MoM of 2
    Love the content
    Christi I love your content but especially all of the BTS dance moms content with Kira and Cathy and the producers. Those are by far my fave episodes! More please!!!!
  • gonsug
    Really good
    I honestly didn’t expect it to be this good would definitely recommend
  • AlexisMustchioo
    Ironic
    Hi Christi! I really liked this episode butttt, a few episodes before this, you had Brittany Pent on the couch talking about how great Monat is…which is an MLM company that is equally bad as LuLaRoe (they have lawsuits about hair loss)
  • enriquebooii
    Spooked !!
    Awesome Halloween episodes !! The last one was truly terrifying 👻10/10 podcast episodes can’t wait for November:)
  • Alexa Mendillo
    AMAZING!
    Absolutely amazing! I can listen to this podcast over and over again!
  • helloellie
    Amazing podcast!
    I always loved Christi on dance moms. She was always funny to watch, but not full on crazy like other people. She’s always had her values straight. Family first. I love her podcast now, with insight to her life with fame and post-dance moms lifestyle. She’s so interesting, and I love her!! Thanks for making this podcast! Only complaint is not enough episodes! Make 2 a week?? Haha jk love this
  • ZBNMmmm474728-9
    Phenomenal

  • m.wxlson
    episode idea
    christi you should totally do a lizzie borden episode!!
  • Sadiecdog
    Audio editing/ads!
    I love christi and this podcast so much! I just wish she would have some better audio editing like if she said “i’ll be right back after the break” instead of just randomly starting an ad mid sentence, it disrupts the flow and hard to even tell it’s an ad at first
  • ~takes20~

  • chee-0703
    Love this podcast it’s so entertaining and well done
    This podcast is one of my favorites and has grown my love of listening to podcast in general, and now I watch several. My family goes to Cedar Point every year but we skipped this year because there was an accident on one of the rides. We usually spend all day riding the coasters. My husband and I out do the kids usually. Please do more true crime!! I loved the Jon Bonnet Ramsey episode even though I’m not 100 percent in board with your conclusion. I found it interesting to hear your thoughts on the case.
  • Angela_Palladini
    Look forward to it every week!
    I’ve followed you since Dance Moms’ inception! You’re so amazing, as are your two girl! As a professional dancer in the Broadway world (living in NYC, but about to head out on tour again after being out of work for the last 18 months), I’d LOVE to be a co-host for an episode! Who WOULDN’T want to hang out with you?! (Also, JonBenet is another obsession of mine as well!) Loving this week’s episode! Thank you for bringing so much light to us all during what’s been a very dark, lonely time! xoxo.
