Customer Reviews
What interesting engaging conversation ...
....thoroughly enjoyable listen. You wouldn’t have a clue that Sally is a novice podcast host, until she mentioned towards the end. Very smooth, relaxed yet engaging questioning 👌🏼 I’ll definitely listen to more.
Haley and Sally
I just had the honour of listening to Haley’s interview from Sally Bibb’s podcast. Incredible, honest and completely reflects how I have dealt with similar journeys this last year- VULNERABILITY IS STRENGTH. So rewarding to recognise similarities in life, resilience, age, diversity, courage, and learn from the openness Haley shared. Continue your journey Haley, you are an inspiration to your community and society. A neighbour can be an ocean, continent apart, it’s the opportunity to share and learn, that gives me purpose in life. Thank you so much. Salma xx
Lockdown, openheartedly
Sally Bibb offers us new perspectives from others out there, also living through lockdown. Sally creates a safe space for her interviewees to be able to share their thoughts and feelings openheartedly. This feels a rare opportunity to listen into others’ reflections. Looking forward to the next in the series!
