    Forever a Middle Ground Girly
    I’ve been a listener from the start and adore these gals! Their friendship, their advice, their recognition of their privileges. I listen while I get ready for work and this podcast is such a great part of my week 🩷

    Love, love, and more love!!
    I am so glad to have finally hopped in to the podcast listening family- Middle Ground Podcast was one of the first podcasts I listened to and am now binging as I can’t believe it took this long to start listening! I am Caroline’s age so it’s always refreshing to listen to the podcast and feel as if I’m chatting with an older sister and sister my age! Love the insight and experience both Caroline and Jo share! Having just started a podcast for my locality, I particularly loved the hype they gave to public libraries in the “Romanticizing Your Day to Day Life” episode!

    Completely obsessed!!
    I’ve followed through Jo and Caroline’s journeys from the beginning!! So informational and inspiring! Through the whole podcast it’s like you’re just on the phone with your friends talking about life!!

    i’m on the fence now
    i used to adore this pod, it was the first one i ever listened to! but ever since the “pet peeves” episode i have noticed that jo has a VERY negative mindset. i hate saying this because i have been a fan for so long but she has definitely been dampening my spirits each time i listen. i know she has a lot of personal things going on, but i can tell in the way she podcasts that those things are consuming her. she also talks a lot about her privilege & knows she comes from such a privileged place that it has begun to feel like she wants you to know + remember that SHE is privileged, and less like a disclaimer. i miss happy jo, i want her to come back.

    The best
    Such an amazing podcast! You two are beautiful souls, so intelligent, so informative, so understanding. You radiate such positive energy into the world not only through your podcast but through your instagrams! I literally learn so much about my life and myself while listening to these. Your topics force me to open my mind and really think about who I am, what I want to be, how I want my life to be. These are guiding me to become the best version of myself!

    Meh
    The podcast is so-so. There are some better episodes but a lot of the time it seems like Jo is trying to show how much older and wiser she is than Caroline all while trying to come across as “politically correct” in a very uncomfortable way. Caroline comes across like she is super self aware but in a way that seems insincere.
  • Kenlee81
    Great podcast!!
    I absolutely love this podcast. I feel like I could be best friends with you guys! Caroline’s “literallys” killed me in the last podcast. 😂

    2 years together.
    I honestly cannot remember how I came upon this podcast 2 years ago, but I had no idea at the time that I would listen EVERY week since. Love the real, raw convos about life and friendship. Please never stop because now I’m very invested in both your lives! 🤍🤍🤍

    I LOVE MIDDLE GROUND
    I was just casually trying to find a good girl boss podcast and stumbled upon Jo and Caroline’s podcast! I love the transparency and realness they radiate. Makes me feel like I can truly accomplish anything and literally makes my work day so much easier! Cannot recommend enough!!

    Every episode feels like girls night
    Every episode feels like I’m just chit chatting with my best friends on girls night. I’m obsessed with this podcast. One of the first episodes about manifesting really did me in, Jo & Caroline do an amazing job
  • Mandyhils
    Love just hard to hear sometimes
    I love your podcast! But sometimes it’s hard to hear Jo for people who are hard of hearing. In the recent podcast with Matt, Matt was much easier to hear. Love you guys and congrats on your baby girl!!
  • kateseesall
    Triggering
    I listened to this podcast until I realized it became triggering. Jo is entitled, self obsessed, interruptive and while trying to act “woke”, she is belittling and dismissive to so many people & groups in sneaky actions & wording. I encourage listeners to take a deeper look before continuing support her. It’s even worse that I am a Fayetteville local and a handful of us can confirm that she is not the same person IRL as she is on her platforms. Extremely toxic. Beware.

    My favorite people
    This is the only podcast I can ever get on board to listen to and it completely changed my life. It makes me want to move to Arkansas to become best friends with these girls. I love to hear their life-changing viewpoints, realistic mindsets, and ways to make life more enjoyable. Thanks for a healthy mindset and all the laughs, girls! 🖤

  • FWCjr
    All around great life advice podcast!
    I have been listening to this podcast since the first episode and while I usually don’t love to write reviews on things I couldn’t pass up in the opportunity to talk about my favorite podcast! I’m 18 and love hearing all the tips to set myself up for the future and appreciate all the discussions about confidence! It feels like I am friends with Jo and Caroline and love the way they speak to the audience! I love all the positive thinking that they help me do throughout my day and can’t say enough great things about them both! Thanks for speaking to us like we’re in the room!! Love you guys and the impact you are making :)

  • katylynnwatson
    Do yourself a favor and listen to this podcast
    I LOVEEEE this podcast! I started listening to this podcast a month or so ago, and it’s now my new favorite. Jo and Caroline literally have the most calming voices, so it’s a soothing podcast in general. But I feel like I’m having a conversation with my best friends when listening to them talk. This podcast just covers life in general, which I love, and their perspective on life is just so refreshing. I can’t recommend this podcast enough.
  • morgiesharmony

    I love the body image podcast!
    I just wanted to say that I listened to the body image podcasts and they have helped tremendously. You girls are so fun and personable, even just from listening to you! I feel like I’m listening to my older sisters giving me advice. Love you guys !
  • BananaBlueberry!

    The girls are so sweet and it is so soothing to either sleep with, workout with, or just relax and listen too. They share many helpful tips and are so respectful. There are also a wide variety of topics! I highly recommend listening and checking it out.

    Love that I get to listen to this podcast every Monday. Jo and Caroline have both done such a great job making this podcast relatable. I’m in the middle of their ages yet I learn things from both of them! I think they have grown so much and seeing the podcast grow is awesome.
  • Bita Mosallai
    INSPIRATIONAL
    I found Jo on Tiktok and was obsessed with her energy! Caroline has such a calming and relatable energy I just love you guys both! I want to say that I just started listening to the last three episodes of 2021 and I am OBSESSED! I got busy and narrowed down my podcast listens in 2020 and put Middle Ground on the backburner but wow i was missing out. These girls are so inspiring and wise and this podcast just makes me feel good! I feel like there are a lot of “girl boss” and entrepreneur podcasts out there but this is such a vibe
  • Bwes1039
    I love Jo and Caroline!
    I found Jo on TikTok and then found Caroline through social media as well. I wanted to start following along on their advice because they seem like genuinely good people. I love the advice they give and it is true and realistic for everyone. I would recommend this to anyone!

    I found Jo on Instagram originally because she shot a wedding of someone I know, then she popped up on my TikTok early on in her TikTok days, and I am so glad she’s doing this podcast now! The advice is great and it feels like you’re just talking with a couple friends and getting great advice. Highly recommend! 💖

    Every single time I’m going through something and need advice, they do a podcast on it and I don’t even send in questions. They’re like mind readers!!
  • Madeline_0218
    OMG I ❤️ this podcast so much!
    I found this podcast out of the blew on TIKTOK. I love the dynamic between these two and the topics they discuss. They are so sweet. I also love that they interact with their followers/listeners. They answer lots of listener questions. It makes a connection & a family. I love hearing Jo & Caroline’s stories. I wish them the best in their journey in photography, podcasting, and life. Give them a follow on TIKTOK & Insta! Listen to these fun episodes on your car ride or walk and enjoy the distraction and hearing someone else’s point of view.
