Amazing

My feelings may be a bit bias because I went to college with Natalie many moons ago. She’s an amazing person, very intelligent, super creative and very talented. You can hear the connection between her and Emily so I can promise you she’s on the same level as Natalie. It’s great to hear from other artists about their struggles, success, inspiration, etc. It feels nice to be recognized. Keep er up ladies I’m looking forward to listening to many many more podcasts
