Terrific

5 stars and some!

Loved this. Felt like I was in the room. Fantastic, down to earth, honest and levelling. We should talk about this stuff more...

So relatable!

I listen to a lot of podcasts and this is just so refreshing and relatable!
It’s just two people having a heart to heart, letting their guard down and being vulnerable and honest!
Really heartwarming to know that regardless of status or ‘perceived status’ we have the same anxieties and insecurities!
So down to earth and inspiring!
Loved it!
Can’t wait for more! ❤️❤️❤️
