Podcaster's Rave Review

“Stephen is a great guest—very calm and focused! He shared insights that will transform your mind and relationships.”

—Anthony Guastella Anthony Guastella Wellness

“It's not every day that you get the chance to speak with someone as courageous and as humble as Stephen Paul Edwards. Our conversation started by exploring his book - Venus Fly Trap - and very quickly moved deeper into the realms of vulnerability, overcoming shame and rebuilding his life after an addictive relationship with someone he deeply loved, but could also see was bringing him down. A raw conversation about life and how to have the courage to change the course they are taking.”

"Dr. Stephen Edwards' story is a journey of unexpected twists and turns. He left me asking myself repeatedly, "Why didn't you just leave?" The way he intertwines the ups and downs of his story is a masterclass in storytelling. He was a great guest and I highly recommend him to other shows."

—Cece Shatz Date the Right one

'Having Stephen Paul Edwards on the podcast felt easy in the best way. No guarding, no pretending, no trying to sound impressive. Just two men having an honest conversation about the things that actually shape a life. Stephen spoke openly about relationships, masculinity, failure, growth, and the responsibility that comes with self-awareness. He didn’t hide behind concepts or theory. He owned his patterns, his blind spots, and the lessons that only come from getting it wrong and choosing to look at yourself instead of blaming others. What I respected most was his depth and presence. He listens. He reflects. He speaks from lived experience, not ego. There’s a steadiness to him that makes hard topics feel safe to explore, and that’s rare. This conversation will land with men who are ready to be honest with themselves. I’m grateful for Stephen’s openness and the trust he brought into the space. He’s someone you want more of in these conversations, not less.”
