Deep and true

Dear Prentis
Thank you for being gloriously imperfect and sharing what is true to your heart and purpose. Your gift and impact are so important and invigorating in the themes you address which are so vital for humanity. Through the manner of conversation you bring with the people you interview, it feels very intimate and engaging like others have said.
Please keep sharing your wisdom, I'm putting this podcast link about so hope more folks around me can live more fully in their hearts and minds.

Fresh thoughts and real conversation about what matters

Yesterday I was recommended to listen to this by one of the makers of The Great Humbling podcast. Today I have listened to three episodes in a row, as the host's generosity, clarity and humour are infectious. Though I may live in a different country, the thoughts in episode three reflect what I hold dear about community & reciprocity as well as kinship with the non-human world. I don't get to hear folks valuing this much in 'the media', so I am grateful for this full-beam sunlight. Looking forward to listening to the whole season now.

Wonderful

😊
