Frog of socks ,

Inspired my journal

I sincerely miss this podcast, because of this podcast I started a daily journal which I still write in (though now not always daily) and have been for 8 years. I’m grateful for all the self reflection/development and recorded memories this podcast inspired for me, do hope it’ll return one day so I can share some of that growth
