Reference Jess and Caroline and this pod way too much when talking to friends to the point where they all know this podcast exists and that I’m judging those of them that haven’t actually listened yet

I am a new listener from California. Been listening for about 2-3 months now and im addicted!! I love the deep and honest conversation about really important topics a lot of us women are/have gone through. I’m a biggest sister to eight siblings. I’m in my mid twenties with a younger sis who is in high school and so many siblings in a range of ages. I feel now more than ever that I am stepping into that big sis role, esp with my sis in high school. And since finding your show, I have realized how much I had to figure out on my own as the oldest. And am continuing to figure out. And I feel so grateful that my sis will be able to ask me for advice about things I’ve already went through. Mine and her age difference is about the same as mine to your two ages. Listening each day to your show feels like another day of healing my inner child and growing as an independent women! It feels as though you two are the big sisters I never had, sharing advice about stuff you’ve already had to go through! Your advice has helped me a lot lately, especially as I made a huge career switch that has felt awful and scary. Love you two and all that you do! With love, Another Fellow Cook

Listening to Caroline

Imagine a FaceTime with your two friends who just **get it**. That’s NFE: a beautiful, insightful, equal-parts-tear-and-chortle-inducing-pod that has quickly become the bright spot of my week. With their 25+ years of history, J&C have chemistry that you just can’t manufacture—the kind that makes you feel better about life / love / the state of the world just by bearing witness to it every Thursday.

Ironically this podcast is actually for everyone! These hilarious girlies poke at fun and genuine topics that so many different types of folks can relate to.

Long time listener, first time reviewer!! I come back to this show again and again, and it seems I never tire of listening to Jess and Caroline’s antics and insights. As a 20-something figuring out how to navigate tough stuff and still enjoy life, I find listening to these two so comforting. It feels like whatever I’m going through, they’ve gone through it too and they have thoughts to share. Not only do I learn a lot, but I also giggle a lot! They’re just so funny. Thank you for keeping it real, keeping it fun, and providing countless hours of entertainment and interesting conversations. 10/10 podcast would give it 10 stars if it could.

Insightful, light, and colorful! Jess and Caroline masterfully address serious issues in a way that recognizes the humanity in all of us. Intentionally or not, Not For Everyone gives listeners permissions to just feel their feelings. At a time when there is a podcast for everything, Jess and Caroline offer a refreshing take on just being whoever you’re going to be. Infinity/10 recommend.

Listen, if you can’t hang you can’t hang. These ladies can hang. This is the finest piece of podcast work out there. The content? Spot on! The thoughts I’m too afraid to say out loud? They say em! The editing? A better podcast editor has never existed! Caroline and Jess are the podcast queens and we are all kooks for them.

love jess. love caroline. love love love them together. they keep me consistently loling alone on public transport and i wouldnt have it any other way.

Every time I put you guys on WITHOUT FAIL you brighten my day. I feel like I stumbled upon GOLD. I relate to everything you talk about and also why are you so freaking funny. Can’t get enough. Please more! <3

Literally why is this the only podcast like this. I tune in every week because I always know it will be part laughs, part valuable insights, doesn’t take itself too seriously, but also always makes me think. I love this duo, wish we saw more women holding respectful differences like this. And will send this to everyone I know prob til I die

Hates toe walkers even though it’s a medical condition….that’s the equivalent of declaring I hate Caroline’s mental illness and her self serving podcast where she can listen to herself talk about herself. Upsetting, was a huge fan until this latest episode. True colors out! As a heel walker standing up for toe walkers, hope you slip from your sweaty feet!

LOVE THIS POD!!! It’s the only one I consistently listen to each week. I love my girls. Big ick: men with cats or fluffy dogs. Every man I went on dates with that had a cat or a dog that needed brushing NEVER did the necessary grooming. I was always so disgusted. As a husky owner myself, you gotta get in there, and if you don’t, YA NASTY!

Very very good! Inspired me to think about my life further and I ended an abusive relationship as a result. This podcast has also helped me so much to think about myself and people in a different light. It’s okay that I’ve made mistakes. I’m not a bad person for doing some bad things. Same as other people. Listening bas brought me so much peace.

I’m a hater on some days, a lover on others so this is the perfect podcast for me. I am anti-social media and don’t have Insta to be able to submit this question, but what happened to the existential part of the pod? I used to love that opening line in the early days, what gives? Sincerely a GenX hater 😑 who loves you both ☺️

Was told not to subscribe. Subscribed anyway.

This is the most relatable, genuine podcast you will ever find with authentic conversation flowing between Caroline and Jess. I never know what random topics they will bring up, but I do know that I always finish an episode in a better, sillier mood after listening to the Queens of the Cooks. Their pod truly embodies how being vulnerable is attractive and allows for meaningful connection, which inspires all of us listeners to do the same in our lives ❤️

Literally obsessed! Came over from Caroline’s YouTube as a recent follower, and now this show is my commute buddy and I’ve started all the way back at the beginning bc I need to not miss anything! Y’all are so fun and the perfect mix of shallow and deep talk which my brain needs. Xoxo! -a hater

Caroline & Jess are like my two mood insightful friends. I always gain some peace of advice from these episodes & it always comes w a giggle or two. Most definitely worth every listen 🫶🏻

Professor DeBakey and Professor Winkler are my favorite teachers I’ve ever had.

Caroline and Jess are the best case scenario for female friendships ❤️❤️ Thanks for letting me have lunch with you!

…so I’m leaving a review. I adore these ladies. They make me genuinely laugh out loud and I’ve taken so much of their advice to heart. Thank you for a podcast that’s vulnerable, relevant, and genuinely funny!!

I’m obsessed! I love this podcast because Jess and Caroline talk about things that I am sometimes too shy to talk about with my own friends. They feel like big sisters to me. And they make me realize that I shouldn’t be insecure about things that I have worried about my whole life. I’ve been more confident and given myself more grace since I’ve started listening to this podcast. Thank you Jess and Caroline, for all the advice and for making me laugh. You two make this world a better place.

I want to rant and scream with Caroline and cry and be comforted by Jess. Great dynamic.

These women are both halves of my personality and I love it. This podcast gives me comfort and so much laughter because it is basically the same level of conversation between me and my best friend at any and all given times. I find myself answering things out loud with my opinion, and then one of these ladies saying the same thing moments later 😂 I relate to Jess as an ENFJ and a lover and caretaker of others, and have also been labeled a hater for my negativity outlandish annoyances with the world around me like Caroline. Love this podcast, hope it never ends !🖤

Love this podcast because it’s more deep thoughts with Caroline! I’m 100% a hater and I’m here for the judgment.

I’ve been a listener since day one because I’m a subscriber to Caroline’s YouTube channel and she talked about her podcast. You guys do not disappoint! The two of you have great chemistry, Your topics are so interesting, and you guys are so real. I’m a big fan of podcasts for my early morning walks and yours is the podcast I look for first! Keep up the great work! Oh! And I think you guys should do some old-school glam headshots playing up your gorgeous hair! Both of you! Look forward to maybe seeing that! Tara

Hi Ladies, I have listened to every single podcast! I seem to always come away with a brighter mood and have smiled/laughed at least once during each episode. Caroline requested that we leave a compliment about ourselves in the review so here is mine: I have started my own personal training business last year and despite the many challenges of growing a new business - I am learning to become resilient to failure and keeping my head up. Review for podcast: I love the friendship between the two of you. It’s so endearing to hear you guys support each other in your day to day struggles. I also love how you guys can laugh together and problem solve as a team. You two are role models of what a good friendship entails. My favorite thing about the podcast is when you guys talk about “personal growth” and your own experience with the subject. I love the mix of the topics that create an awareness on how we can be better friends, partners, and a person as whole. The light hearted nature of the conversation pulls it together and makes it something I look forward to listening to. You ladies are great! -Fathama (pronounced Fa-tea-ma).

Anything for my girls! ❤️

I have been a listener from the very beginning and I look forward to listening to this show every week! Caroline & Jess are long time friends who have great chemistry and support for each other and it’s refreshing to hear two friends talk about the good, bad, and the ugly we all experience in life. As someone who is almost 30, It has validated me in a lot of ways and I love that they address topics that actually feel relatable. Much love from Chicago ❤️

I listen to this show all of the time and I absolutely love it. Jess and Caroline are so down to earth, funny, and smart. Listening to an old episode is my favorite way to relax after a long day. Thank you for the quirky entertainment and for leaving such a positive impact on your listeners.

Imagine you’re at a sleepover with your best friend, but you’re adults and you’ve both been through extensive therapy 💕✨

My hot take is Caroline is the lover and Jess is the secret hater. Caroline has done inner work including revealing some hard stuff from her past which makes her authentic and sweet. Jess should reveal her inner hater but has to be the understanding, even-keeled one on the pod. I still like the pod minus the cringey, mainstream Harris-Walz + Beyoncé references. Those topics are literally For Everyone which is why I don’t want to hear about them. Their other topics are pretty insightful.

I love listening to this podcast after my workouts while I’m doing chores. It feels like I’m hanging out with friends who are just chilling on the couch while I cook or clean. I’ve been tuning in for a few weeks now—having discovered it through Caroline’s YouTube channel—and it’s been such a comforting experience. I just finished listening to the episode "Not for Flirty Husbands" and wanted to share a book recommendation that has truly changed my life for the better: *Nonviolent Communication* by Marshall Rosenberg. My only regret is not having read it sooner. Anyway, I thought I’d pass along the book recommendation and express my gratitude.

Love hearing the banter and advice from Jess and Caroline! Especially on relationship topics

Don’t care for the food talk 😂

I’m amending my review. Still observing.

The boobs make sense and I like to touch butts too, also y’all are really hot, I see you good posture 🔥

New listener here. Love this show! The recent conversation about feeling low self worth was incidentally surrounded by talk about time on Instagram. This tip may not be for everyone (see what I did?) but removing myself from Instagram bumped up my self worth and overall life contentment by approximately one thousand percent. Give it a shot! PS - Editor Abby (sorry if I spelled her name wrong) is delightful and funny.

Ok love you both so much. And Jess I TOTALLY agree Beyoncé’s album Renaissance is literally her best album, please continue.

I love them

⭐️⭐️⭐️

I love my weekly hang with my parasocial besties.

This is by far my favorite podcast. Smart, kind, hilarious women. So glad to have found these ladies. Take a listen - you won’t regret it.

The best is when yall are discussing personal life or relationships or just hard stuff. It makes people feel instantly less alone. The therapy stuff is great too (what are we all working on). It’s lonely out here for those of us still sheltering from the ongoing covid pandemic bcz disabilities and (like me) at home yr 4 with long covid and podcasts that aren’t preachy but humane and earnest and caring are whats up. Thanks yall xx

I baby ….. enough say !!!

Wholesome but not saccharine, they keep it real, and are a joy to listen to, maybe because they are willing to be vulnerable and dig deeper into topics, hence “not for everyone”. Really appreciate the normalizing of topics surrounding personal relationships, work, and mental health, all balanced by lightweight girl talk and fun quips.

I crave podcasts that can make me laugh and prompt deep thinking about life and relationships in the same episode. I started listening at a pivotal moment in my 30’s, and the combination of Caroline and Jess’s silly and serious commentary was exactly what I needed. I ask all my friends if they listen to podcasts just so I can recommend this one. Just listen, you’ll love it too! ❤️

These two things can both be true at the same time. Life now seems unfair, because FAIR would be all of us living on different floors of an old brownstone somewhere. By “all of us” I mean Caroline, Jess, myself obvi, and the rest of the haters and lovers, the kooks and the winklies. Since this isn’t reality, life isn’t fair 🤷🏻‍♀️ The fact that these two exist, and show up for us every week, makes this unfair reality tolerable. I be consuming alllllll their word nuggets like Miss Pac-Man. If they went away, I would not accept.

Don’t throw away my money. 5 stars. Big love. Do whatever you want. If you’re healed I’m healed. Fellow Renaissance fiend. A manic review fit for my fave pod. Keep it up, Kings. Xx.
