Customer Reviews
Absolutely fantastic podcast
I love this podcast. Blaire’s solo shows are equally as thought provoking as her interviews, and I always look out for a new show and look forward to listening to it. Her authentic, supportive but challenging, and very practical style is so refreshing.
I can’t recommend this podcast highly enough.
