Not sure what rock I was under, just now seeing that you have a podcast! To say I’m in love with the honesty, and very real topics is an understatement. Thanks so much for talking about absolutely everything!
Bad Poutine- the potential is there but major changes needed!

The idea is there but you consistently speak over your guests or fish for specific answer from the guests by framing the way you want them to answer. Sometimes you interview guests that publicly support or emulate characteristics that you openly oppose but never ask the tough questions- don’t be scared to “always be likeable” - take a step out of your comfort zone and ask those hard questions. The sound quality and editing took a dump with switchover to new network. Disappointed.

I listened to this episode last night while working on some Cricuting projects. My mom had been inspiring me to get into thrifting more because she has completely changed her wardrobe and I find her more confident in her style when she thrifts. I’m often finding myself saying “That’s cute, where’s it from?” and she’ll tell me it’s a thrift find. I sent her this episode and her response was so cute “ Thanks for that, it was a good listen. Made me enjoy thrifting even more.”
