I found Gretchen’s podcast when searching for recommendations on Cape Cod. (It was the #1 search result). Her positivity and kindness is endearing, but the episode I listened to was disorganized and frustrating. 22 minutes into the episode and there had yet to be any recommendations given or any information of substance. Instead, the host rambled on, in random tangents, about her boyfriend’s job, renting a storage space, the dog she was watching (interruptions for her dog were mentioned constantly), a bachelorette trip she was going on, etc. I gave up at that point. Again, the host seems very sweet, and I think the podcast would benefit greatly, and would let viewers appreciate the host more, if episodes were focused and edited.

Omg, this is the best!!!! I am about to scream at all of those people how said the u are a “scatterbrain” like, omg, that is so rude, u are amazing girl, keep up the good work!!!! U help girls feel better about them self, this is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😙😙😙😙😙😙😙

I truly love how this podcast feels like a call with a bestie. I look forward to listening to a new episode on my walks and always wish there was more! Gretchens energy really shines through this podcast❤️

Gretchen gives off such sweet lighthearted positive energy that truly radiates through my speakers. My only complaint is that I wish she made more podcasts :) ❤️

All over the place . No real content .

Tried to listen to one where you’re with your sister, it’s just a battle of who is interrupting who. Really rough to listen to. Also, just a frustrating perspective on studying abroad, and not going on dates, just don’t see eye to eye with your opinions at all. Live a little.

Gretchen is my comfort influencer.

I like Gretchen but this is just another outlet to talk about herself

One of my absolute favorite podcasts!! Love Gretchen’s sweet, positive personality and real talks. So easy to relate to her :)

I love how it just feels like catching up with a friend and her demeanor is so uplifting!!

I love listening to this podcast, it’s like Gretchen is on the phone with me & we’re having a bestie chat about life! She’s so positive and encouraging, it’s the best!

I love this podcast because it’s an easy fun listen that feels like you’re talking to your best girl friend. Gretchen has the sweetest personality and she’s just the best.

Love this podcast!! Gretchen is a ray of sunshine 🌞

I listen to her podcast every morning on the way to work. It is my absolute favorite way to start the day. She is so genuine and sweet. Her podcasts are so entertaining and really well thought out. I love all her advice and I relate to many things she talks about! 100/10

I love Gretchen’s positivity! She is so real on this podcast and it feels like I’m catching up with a friend. Gretchen radiates good vibes 🫶🏼

Love the easy entertainment

This has quickly become one of my favorite podcasts to listen to. Gretchen is so authentic and fun and enthusiastic! And I love that she bounces topics sometimes because that’s how my brain works too! Gretchen, keep it up because it’s amazing!

Gretchen is a such a light in this world! Been following this podcast for almost 5 years. She is so genuine and her podcast is so real and easy and fun to listen to! 🤍

Happy Hour is by far my favorite podcast. Listening to Gretchen makes you feel like you’re talking with a friend. She’s such a bright light & her positivity is so contagious!

Happy hour is my comfort podcast. I don’t know what I would do without it. You’re perfect Gretchen please continue this podcast it brings me so much joy!

Gretchen I love your podcast! I mean sure maybe it’s not the most informative podcast in the world but not every podcast needs to be that way! Some are just for entertainment, something to have on so you feel less lonely. This podcast does that for me :) thanks for keeping me company in my apartment while I clean, hang with my dog, etc… its so fun to just listen to you chat away!

I love Gretchen so much and her podcast is my go to podcast when I’m either on walks or on long car rides when I’m alone! I love that I feel like we are having a conversation together and she’s speaking directly to me, she’s like the older sister I wish I had… even tho I have older sisters haha but she just gives me such good vibes and I love her advice! I really look up to her and love everything about her podcast!!

This is genuinely the only podcast I listen to regularly - I refresh this page even when I know an episode isn’t due for another week just in the hopes that I could listen to a new episode. I swear I would listen every day if I could. Gretchen you’re the most positive fun and genuine host, and this is my favorite outlet of yours - even more than YouTube which is really saying something. Pls never stop the podcast I’ve never found one as good as yours 🫶🫶

This podcast is like being on FaceTime with a friend! It’s genuine & authentic to who Gretchen is! I’ve been following her for years & love hearing her thoughts & feelings on topics. It makes me feel like, “oh good! I’m not the only one!”

Paused my episode, so I could come write a review. I know it's easier said than done and I also need to work on this. Let go of the negativity. Let go of the people pleasing. You are such a light!! I've never seen you happier. Your content has never been better. You deserve everything that comes your way and the negative comments say much more about the people leaving them than they do about you. People love to complain, love to have an opinion, and love to be negative. I love your podcast, don't know what I would do without it. Keep it up and more importantly keep doing you because that's why we're all here girlie!!

i struggle with depression and anxiety and some days, an hour hanging out with gretchen (and brody hehe) is the very best part of my day. the relaxed style of happy hour is so easy and fun to listen to, i feel like i’m talking with my bff. gretchen’s energy is infectious and i am ALWAYS in a better mood after listening to her. even if the episode is super lighthearted, i always take a lesson away to apply to my life. thank you gg for providing an escape from daily life.

I have been following Gretchen since she was in high school and I just started listening to Happy Hour and I now have notifications for every time a new episode is released!! It always cheers me up and Gretchen gives the best life, friend, and relationship advice🩷🩷 Keep being you Gretchen girl🥰

Cannot tell you how refreshing it is to just wind down and listen to this podcast. I literally feel like I’m chit chatting with a friend and this podcast has been my best friend on many long drives!! This is the only podcast I listen to, Gretchen is the best 🥹

I love a little chit chat with Gretchen. Truly feels like catching up with a friend. You’re killing it G !!!

Gretchen has such a positive energy that radiates through her podcast! I love hearing her catch up on everything going on in her life and she gives such good advice. When I listen it feels like I’m on the phone with my best friend!

Always feels like we are on FaceTime and I love actually love the random and “scattered” messages and add ins🩷🩷🩷🩷

Will listen to anything Gretchen puts out into the world! Favorite YouTuber by far :) and love listening to her podcast now!

I just discovered your podcast not too long and I love all of your episodes! Sad to hear about negative reviews😔 But as you mentioned, not every podcast is for everyone! I had been struggling to find a new podcast that I can connect to so I was so grateful when I came across Happy Hour!! I can tell that you are so genuine and carefully think about all of the episode content and are wise beyond your years!! I have been listening as I am doing my walks around the city or cleaning and I always feel like I have a new fresh and positive perspective afterwards. Though I love all episodes, my favorite are when you are just chatting with us and doing catch up time! Please continue posting as I always look forward to new episodes! Also, congrats to you and Max on your engagement!!! Cheers to a life of love and happiness!!

gretchen covers topics on the pod that she wouldn’t typically cover in her videos which i love. there is so much to her and i can relate to her on a lot of topics!!

Gretchen, I look forward to your podcast every other week! You are a ray of sunshine, and I love listening to all your advice and perspective on life. I’m a twin too, and I’ve always felt that I relate to you and Lucy and your twin relationship. All the love ❤️

Listening to Gretchen feels like chatting with my bestie! So cozy and fun🥰

Love listening! You are so fun to listen too and I love that you’re all over the place because that’s exactly how my brain works too!! 🫶🏽

Max not liking Barbie movie because it’s not “for the boys” is a red flag

Inspiring and relatable love the episodes with her twin too!

She seems really nice but it’s not for me. She just talks a lot and gets off track a lot. It’s not concise, and she talks relatively fast so it gets hard to follow her unless you’re into a lot of rambling. She genuinely seems like a nice person, I just am not looking for a podcast where more than half of it is random chit chat. She’s just all over the place and it’s not organized at all

Love this podcast! The only thing that annoys me is the clicking sound Gretchen makes when she talks. Aside from that, I love Gretchen and her podcasts are so fun to listen too! 💖

I couldn’t tell you when I found Gretchen but I’m so glad I did! I’m someone that when I find someone on social media, YouTube, apple podcast, etc. I follow them everywhere, I originally found Gretchen in my suggested on YouTube, after hearing another influencer say how much they loved her vlogs. I love how her YouTube vlogs are so chill, her podcasts aren’t always extremely episode specific and how active she is on Instagram. Not to mention Brody🥹She’s convinced me to get a golden (my family has always had goldens but I’m officially living on my own in college and convinced I need one because of how Gretchen talks about how she struggles with being alone, as do I, and Brody has helped her with that) Anyways, love this pod. Highly recommend, xoxo

I can’t stand the way she talks about manifesting or the lucky girl syndrome. This is rooted in ableism and racism. It is also a narcissistic mindset to have. People should be encouraged to feel their feelings. It’s okay for people to feel sad something didn’t work out. Telling people who are disabled or have terminal illnesses or are abused by their parent that if they just think good things that good will happen is not okay. Lucky girl syndrome is just another way to say rich, white girl syndrome. Toxic positivity all in this podcast!

I found your podcast this September and listen to an episode almost every day. you can tell your such a happy person and I love your podcast. thank you for putting happiness into the world. my favorite part of the podcast is like the catch-up time. thank you. I also love your episode about planning out your life!! love you Gretchen!! thanks for sending positivity to the world!! love you!! :) <3

I usually love her content, but this podcast feels all over the place and not planned out. The episode with Sydney Adams was not well done. Sydney was great, but it felt like Gretchen didn’t care and didn’t plan out anything before hand. I do think there is potential, but I think she needs to put more time and energy into this.

Just started listening to your podcast yesterday. Got to your pyschic reading episode and literally lost it hearing that your dad’s birthday was July 3rd too. I’ve been watching your youtube videos for awhile now but just discovered the podcast! As I enter my early 20s I feel more and more connected to what you speak about and thought it was crazy that I have that connection to your dad with our birthdays. I love your outlook and mindset on life and leave every video/podcast feeling so inspired and seen. Keep doing what you’re doing girl!

Happy Hour always helps me calm down, relax, and enjoy every day because it’s sometimes that I always depend on to improve my mood and improve my day when i’m having a rough time. I can even explain how happy it really makes me and I love it so so much :)

I love listening and it’s always like catching up with a friend.

She seems like a lost puppy. Very scatterbrained, a bit depressed and unsure of her life direction. Podcasts are unorganized rambles. Seems like she is going to just ride the wave of “being an influencer” as long as she can before planning the next phase of life. She has guests she doesn’t even introduce who they are beforehand. Her idea of having a cohost means asking questions and then rephrasing exactly what they just said as her her response.

I look forward to your podcasts every week! This is my favorite way to start my Fridays I love how relatable they always are
