The Best Podcast Ever

Everyone, do yourselves a favour and listen to this brilliant, insightful, funny, and inspiring podcast. Ann says the word “like” an appropriate amount of times and I love everything she does!

Ann says “like” an appropriate amount of times

I’ve been listening since pretty much the beginning but recently decided to binge it from the beginning. Never left a review because I listen in Spotify, so this is my first review. Lol I total forgot about the “like” battle, so here I am as instructed, downloading Apple Podcasts just so I can leave a review.

Love you

Love this podcast

I love this podcast and most episodes are great but I have to say that the interview with John Guy and Julie Fox was painful. I couldn’t stand how John talked over Julie the entire time.
