An adiction

Hi, 35 year old african-Danish woman and fellow podcaster and cultural journalist here , just really need you to know that I adore this podcast. It is comforting, funny and inspiring. I might go and change my whole life and it’s all your fault. This sounds a little eat Pray love but its true Its true.
I just had a kid, and found your podcast randomly. While on maternity leave I have been bingin this show on walks with the baby and when my thoughts of the future has kept me awake at night. I dont want to go back to work. I want more time with my kid and my friends and family. I want more time to write books and poetry. Your podcast has helped me be ok with the daydreaming and you have made me take dreaming more seriously.
I even got more writing done. The emotion of this podcast is like no other. It is a delightful space. I am obsessed. I really need to Thank you for these conversations! Please never stop
