Customer Reviews
Knowledge
I have been listening to POW in the last couple of months. I have gained so much knowledge about the various reasons why i have not had a period for a long time and have implemented the advice provided by the various professionals that Mari has had on the podcast. It is such a a useful tool to have, especially for the girlies whom aren’t able to afford the professional help. Every episode I am learning something new. Thank you!
Weekly Highlight
I’ve fallen in love with this podcast and the vast amount of knowledge I’ve learned from Mari, and her various guests.
It’s become my weekly time to enjoy some alone time and learn valuable life and wellness lessons.
Mari’s raw honestly and willingness to share is inspiring, and I’m sure so many people would benefit from tuning in!
My weekly Go-to
I have followed Mari through Instagram and when she started this podcast was keen to explore more topics with her and her guests. It’s become my weekly go-to podcast and I catch myself waiting for Monday to listen to the next episode and checking mid week if there isn’t surprisingly another one haha
Keep going, I will follow & listen forever 💚
