    Favorite Podcast
    These kinds of podcasts are not my kind of podcast but I love this podcast. I found it through Jaci’s TikTok and this is the only non true crime podcast I can even listen to. It feels like such a safe space where I can just listen to non controversial, nice women talk about their lives and random topics!!

    LOVE LOVE LOVE
    I honestly feel so bad for everyone leaving a negative review and complaining about wanting more stories or too many ads. You guys are weird and so so sad. Sitting here complaining because you can’t accept things change. Anyone complaining needs help and to really look at themselves. Go make a podcast of your own if you think you can do better. If it’s so easy try putting yourself out there. Literally gives me a headache seeing the whinny comments. Jaci and Chelsey have honestly never said anything controversial and most people complaining are literally nitpicking. My point is I like the podcast. Things change and evolve and I like that it’s so chill. They feel like the older sister that goes through life then gives you advice. But everyone needs to back off them, it’s pissing me off. 100% of you could never do what they do because if you could you would already done it.

    Quality over quantity
    I’m a long-time listener (since 2018) and have loved this podcast. Jaci and Chelsea are so fun and the story episodes are hilarious. In the last year, though, the quality of the episodes has gone down. They don’t have enough depth or substance. I don’t mind some fun rumbling but it seems to be the whole episode. Maybe the rambling makes up for not getting enough listener submissions. Also, the ads are out of control LONG. This podcast has been a go-to for me for so long, but until they reel it in and find their groove (or niche) again, I’m not sure how much longer I can listen.

    Changed my life
    Okay maybe I’m being dramatic but I don’t think I am. This podcast has changed my life, it makes me giggle and I am listening to it constantly. I Really feel like Chelsea and Jaci are my sisters/bff’s! I love them!

    My favorite listen
    I’m newer to this podcast but it’s quickly become my favorite! It’s such a fun, easy listen and I couldn’t recommend it enough
  • Madelyn Winward
    Disappointed
    I’ve been a listener for years but lately the episodes feel so repetitive. They don’t even talk about the title of the episodes anymore. It’s basically all life updates and SO MANY ads. I get that it’s how y’all make money but can we get more than 15 minutes of the actual topic? I was really looking forward to the motherhood episode but I was really disappointed. I totally understand wanting to keep your personal life and work life separate and not making everything about motherhood but as a new mom myself, I just would’ve loved to hear another mom’s experience. Like PPD, newborn trenches, how to balance other relationships and just how it is being a new mom in general. Was it all you expected? Idk I just feel like I’m listening to the same episode week after week at this point.

    Obsessed
    I’ve been a listener from the beginning and couldn’t be more obsessed with this podcast! Gets me through my week and Jaci and Chelsea feel like friends at this point!
  • ejendbwjdbamabskqneiqbsuw
    Thanks for the stories!!
    Soooo good especially recently!!!!
  • M Katie
    Used to love
    I used to love this podcast, would listen and laugh until I cried at the write-ins and their commentary. For the last few months it just feels like there is no effort put in. Listening has almost become painful, as they talk about the same nonsense and unimportant topics over and over again. We don’t need to know what you are watching on tv or what you saw on TikTok. Please listen to your fans who are giving constructive criticism, we want you to succeed!
  • hsbdkmabdjwis
    Love!
    Been a listener since the beginning and I feel like I’ve grown up with them in a lot of ways. But please stop using chatgpt for literally everything bc you’re hurting the earth lol
  • SheTut
    Not good anymore
    used to be my fave podcast. Now they have so many ads!! C goes on and on and on. J never gets a word in. I can’t even get through an episode anymore and I used to look forward to listening. Please consider listening to feedback
  • VintageKimby
    Hmm
    I love these girls, but they’ve become so unrelatable with their constant wellness and identity outside of motherhood convos. I’m not taking much advice when you’re influencers with stay at home husbands. Nothing wrong with it, I just can’t hear about it every episode.
  • KKetchy
    February
    Love this podcast but can’t listen to them debate how to pronounce February one more time.
  • 19luisa19
    Not genuine
    I was excited when I saw the Motherhood update being a mom myself but wow awful. First off half the episode was then talking about social media. The rest was odd… Jaci doesn’t seem honest about motherhood and was dancing around her feelings and not sharing despite the title. It was also obvious Chelsea picked up on that and was trying to idk make her feel better. It was odd and as a fellow mom please be real. This isn’t easy but not being honest when you have a platform is disappointing. Chelsea shares more but even so their whole brand is just too curated and fake. I won’t be listening anymore.

    Chat GPT
    All I can think about is how much water you guys waste with your constant Chat GPT consumption. Please look up how those systems are sucking the planet dry before using them for every single moment of the day. It drives me insane when I hear you talk about using it every episode.
  • Jellyfish543
    Boring
    They talk about the SAME topics every single week?? Every week it’s just their “life updates” from girls that don’t seem to really have a life. Their “story” episodes are maybe like actually 10% stories, ads, and then an hour of rambling about nonsense. Chelsey never stops going on tangents and she sounds so uneducated I’m sorry. I used to look forward to this podcast every week and now it’s so disappointing.

    My go-to podcast
    Been listening for so long and just now leaving a review! I LOVE having a podcast that feels like chatting with friends. My go-to for driving to work and leaving all that ish behind me when I come home ;) Been following Jaci and Chelsea on YouTube for years, and they have the best content and are actually so funny. For a girl who always wanted a big sis, they bring big sister/bestie vibes in the best way🫶🏼
  • Kodi Joyyyy
    Wahhh wahhh
    I feel like I’m losing actual brain cells listening. Didn’t use to be this way, but lately it’s been real bad. Honestly I think it was Jaci admitting she has never ran a mile that lost me for good. Lol goodbye. Also, not them making “being postpartum” their ENTIRE personalities for the last year. Ladies, I’m 3 months PP it’s not that serious. Please stop talking about listening to David Goggins, Chelsea… it’s cringe girl ;) Bye bye to WWS for me… honestly, catch me over at his podcast from here on out. I need more.
  • AllyVille8998
    Used to be good
    I used to love to listen but now I had to unfollow. I found myself skipping through several minutes of every episode the last couple months. The rambling without being able to sick to any one subject honestly gives me a headache and I cannot keep up. The episode titles are literally 1/3 of the episode I just can’t listen anymore.
  • Jamiekpetersson
    wow people are critical
    The people leaving bad reviews are being far too harsh! Fun light hearted podcast where it feels like you’re hanging out with your friends🫶🏻🫶🏻
  • bbbbbbbbbbsssssssssssyyyyyy
    Eh
    Used to love this podcast but find myself losing interest as they ramble on about life updates. And Chelsea please stop with the David Goggins reference every episode 😩
  • 27xstar
    i love
    i’m sorry i do love the rambling
  • heretolistenx
    Love them!
    a fun low key listen. Love listening to them
  • Nashville1170
    Hope they listen!
    I loved this podcast for years and never missed an episode. I’m so sad to see it go downhill and it feels like they aren’t listening to feedback.
  • bubblegum girl 100
    not as good
    i’ve been listening for YEARS, but i miss when they actually read the story submissions. the first 40 min is random rambling and ads… the last few episodes have been so boring. we need something exciting again.
  • sbournephoto
    OG Listener no longer
    I have listened to every single episode for YEARS but I’m sad to say I’m unsubscribing and won’t be listening anymore. I also rarely write reviews but it needs to be said, this most recent episode (2/28) was so beyond out of touch and uninteresting and it’s been going this direction for a while. I love Chelsey and she’s actually funny and vulnerable and talks about real life problems but Jaci is off the charts tone deaf to real life. I hope they’ll take the recent feedback and make some changes to the content for the better. I feel like they used to do more prep and research and actually care about the episodes but now they just ramble about their influencer lifestyles.
  • Podcast list3ner
    🙁
    Love this podcast and have nothing negative to say them as people! Unfortunately I have unfollowed Jaci on instagram due to her account being 90% ads so I listen to the podcast to get a sense of realness from the girls but it seems like every episode lately has been 50 min of the same life update. I love life updates but not when it’s consumed over 3/4 of the episode entirely. Miss the older episodes 💔
  • Marcisofly
    Repetitive and boring lately
    I’ve been a long time listener but recently (like over the past 6 months) have felt like the episodes were giving me . The girls are talking about the same things in every episode, the life updates are so repetitive but seem to take more and more time each episode, I just can’t be bothered to listen to them go on and on about stuff I don’t care about.
  • Aishu.pod
    Boring, uninspiring
    Used to be a fan, now nothing but a long ramble, shallow discussions & putting out the work just for the sake of ads.
  • melee99
    Long term listener missing the old podcast
    I hate to leave this review, because I’ve listened to this podcast for over 5 years at this point, but I don’t know how much more I can handle. I know the nickname for listeners is “Vapid Valley Girls” but the pod has truly turned beyond vapid. Jaci constantly talks over Chelsey, especially is she’s saying something real or potentially controversial in any way. She also seems incredibly out of touch with reality. The content is rarely new or thought provoking- on the rare occasions that it is I *love* it. I think they’re both funny and I adore their friendship, I enjoy laughing with them. But the podcast just isn’t what it used to be, or what I think it could be. I think growth and change in a podcast that’s as been around as long as WWS is important, but this pod is changing for the worse. I miss the realness (especially from Jaci, I do feel like Chelsey comes across as more authentic), I miss funny conversations and insightful comments about real life (or even in the stories or about pop culture when they were genuine takes and not just the same recycled tik tok sayings over and over again), and feeling like I was chatting with my besties about life, culture, etc. I feel like the podcast at this point is just ads, internet brain rot, and carefully curated updates. I hope the girls are able to take the constructive criticism I’m seeing in the other reviews as well, because I truly believe in their ability to have a wonderful podcast again. Even if I stop listening, I still look forward to their other content and wish them the best.

    ads too long/episodes too short
    I have loved this podcast for years now. However their rambling in no direction combined with super long ads is making each episode unenjoyable. I wouldn't mind long ads and rambling if the episodes where MUCH longer. Preferably 1.5-2 hours. Overall the podcast has gone down hill.
  • LaurenScotdale
    Unfortunately not the vibe anymore
    This podcast has gone majorly downhill. It seems like no prep work has gone into it before any episodes and it’s a lot of rambling. I’ve tried to keep listening but can barely get through half an episode!
  • DocEagle12345
    Used to love
    Previously a 5 star review. It’s very obvious the lack of effort they put into episodes and they sadly sound very entitled and not kind like they used to. I hope things turn around!!!
  • dannyb8976
    Boring
    It’s so boring.
  • TheresaQuen
    Disappointed
    I have been a loyal listener of WWS since they started. During the pandemic when I was lonely it was so nice to feel like part of their girl chats. I remember them speaking up for the Black Lives Matter movement. I deeply respected both of them and looked forward to ‘hanging out’ with them on my commutes on Tuesday mornings. I have bought merch from them that I treasured. But recently hearing Jaci actively talk over Chelsey when she was trying to reveal her disgust with the news in relation to a certain reelection and how it was increasing her anxiety lately made me icked out. Chels was saying the vibes lately are rancid and Jaci just started saying phrases like “so complicated” and “such a divisive time”. I get that speaking up for what is right is risky for any business, but I never expected it from them.
  • jjalltheway123
    Miss the old WWS
    I used to love this podcast and listen to it all the time and recommend it to my friends. Now I haven’t listened to a full episode in months. It’s painfully boring and often uneducated and out of touch. The life updates now are boring and add nothing of value. The adds take up so much time and the actual content of the episode is like 10 minutes at the end and often it’s poorly researched or sandwiched between way too much of the girls unnecessary ranting about things. I used to love it but it feels very lazy and pointless now.
  • abbyyyy7895
    Frustrated long time fan :/
    I am begging you gals to take some consideration into what your fans want. I used to listen religiously but the rambling life updates about absolutely nothing are getting old. I used to love the story episodes and now I find it frustrating when you just tack on 3 write-ins after 50 minutes of word vomit and lengthy ads. It’s extremely evident that no planning or effort goes into the pod anymore and it’s sad. I get you have both grown a lot since the pod started but “enjoying this new chapter of life” is not an excuse to do your job poorly.
  • katemagou
    I miss the old episodes
    I don’t look forward to the episodes AT ALL anymore.. This used to be my favorite podcast. I would literally listen to these episodes every single day. It has just changed so much for the worse. I wish they did LONGER story episodes.
  • soulsista123
    Going downhill
    Getting harder and harder to listen to. Chelsea’s ramblings are super tough and honestly sometimes I feel like Jaci and her are not vibing at all
  • madword18
    used to be a huge fan
    i used to love this podcast + the girls but i can’t listen anymore. every time i try to put on an episode i get so bored or frustrated and have to turn it off. i used to enjoy and defend the life updates, and i don’t mind when it kinda just feels like a conversation between friends—but there has to be some sort of substance to make it worth spending an hour of my day listening to. the episodes come across as lazy and unplanned. if you don’t want to do a story episode then please stop doing them. having 3 stories at the end of an episode is pointless. i also hate the misinformation. when you have thousands of people listening, you have a responsibility to not be giving out false info. this is the absolute bare minimum!! it is shocking how little general knowledge these girls have and the lack of drive towards actual self improvement or wanting to use their platform for good frustrates me. my biggest issue is the constant negativity. every episode is just them ranting about the most privileged stuff and complaining about influencers receiving criticism. they ALWAYS defend every influencer they talk about. sorry if i don’t feel bad for people getting justified criticism??? idk if anything will get chelsey and jaci to make an effort on this podcast again but until they do it is not worth listening to. also their advice is awful and they don’t put in any effort towards giving actionable or useful advice, it’s usually just chelsey defending some random mother in law
  • Bholmes54
    Disappointing Decline
    I’ve been a listener for four years, but recently, the show has lost its spark. It feels like they're phoning it in and not putting as much effort or thought into the podcast as they used to. Even Jaci and Chelsea seem disengaged when recording. Other Dear Media podcasts are doing more and keeping me entertained, so I’ve decided to move on from WWS.
  • Old listener25
    Miss old pod
    I loved WWS and honestly as much as the girlies love to hate their old eps those were my fav. Actual story times from listeners, actual advice, actual effort. Bring back more talks about home decor, morning rituals, manifesting, hobbies, and also sprinkle in chats about motherhood. Pls.
  • James’s mom
    👎🏼
    Honestly so cringy the amount Jaci is talking about her birthday. Seriously nobody cares, youre a grown woman. Get over yourself it’s so annoying.
  • MorgLoving
    My weekly news source ✨
    What We Said is one of the highlights of my week! I love how these girls are 100% themselves and their personalities and voices are so fun to listen to! Love their perspective that they bring to each episode and I feel like I’m just chatting with my best friends every time I listen!
  • Kel Busboom
    So relatable
    Every episode I get a little glimpse into what I have been feeling but unable to put words to. Love these gals!
  • j🥲🥲
    day 1 listener
    i have been listening since day 1 and i still love these girls just as much, but i truly miss the story episodes, i loved the episodes that were fully filled with stories or advice!!💔
