    Love this show
    I heard Dr Hill on another podcast (Therapists Uncensored) and started checking out Wise Effort. I am slowly going through her back catalog and I can say with certainty that her podcast is changing my life. She introduces me to research leaders, I order their books, I follow the specific actions she suggests at “the other side…” I am so grateful for this show.
  • DrSharonB
    So much good information
    This podcast provides so much value. Diana is an incredible host!
  • GoodGood Soul
    Love love love
    I am so happy I found you Diana. Keep on keeping on!
  • jennkennedy
    Interesting and approachable
    I appreciate Diana’s style. Feels like you’re having a conversation with her. She has interesting guests.

    Real-Life, Science-Based Ideas and Strategies for better Living
    I am an admitted podcast junky and Dr. Diana’s podcasts are a breath of fresh air rising above a mountain of other pod-promises to help us feel-better, be-better, do-better. Dr. Diana brings an incredible line-up of guests who share wisdom, and simple-yet profound concepts (backed by science!) to affect positive change in our lives. Dr. Diana wraps up each episode with small tangible actions we can take right away to bring more goodness into our lives. Her approach stands out from other interviewers in that she is consistently tying together cutting-edge psychological research with ancient spiritual practice and the smarts, warmth, humor, and reliability of a fellow human navigating modern life. Thank you and bravo!
  • mendingtrauma
    Very knowledgeable and friendly
    I love listening to Dr. Diana. Her knowledge is considerable and her delivery is friendly and very reassuring. Her podcast broadens the public conversation on how the body and brain work and gives practical and concrete tips on how to change behavior and thinking. Highly recommend!
  • arnicabuckner
    Beautiful, wise and useful
    Diana is a gifted teacher and her podcast is a woven tapestry of science, wisdom and heart. As a psychologist and ACT practitioner myself, I come away from these episodes inspired and with new gems to bring to my clinical work and into my own life. Sending gratitude for your work in putting these out into the world, Diana.

    Best ACT Podcast
    I love Diana’s work from “Psychologists on the clock” and this podcast is an extension of the great advice that Dr. Hill gives.If you want to live a more thriving and meaningful life, tune into this podcast. I love the way how D. Hill distills ACT-information and sums up everything at the end.I am so grateful for what Dr Hill has taught me and you will be too!

    Above and beyond
    Your Life in Process is a thoughtful antidote to a world of “Instagram therapists”. Host Diana Hill is engaging, relatable, and a fantastic interviewer. The diverse range of guests are credible and interesting. Each episode ends with practical exercises you can incorporate into your week. Check this out if you’re ready for something substantial that can bring meaningful transformation to your life.

    Both An Evidence Based and Practical Podcast
    This podcast brings you valuable insights into how to live your life in a psychologically flexible way, a journey to freedom.

    Adds to my anxiety
    She talks so fast it evokes anxiety. Slow down and speak in a calm manner. There is no need to rush.
  • Shilih654
    Wise and Compassionate
    I love listening to Dr. Hill whether she does a solo episode or with guests. Great information about acceptance and commitment therapy, mindfulness, and living life during difficult times. I especially like how she summarizes the learning at the end and suggests concrete skills to practice.
