Customer Reviews
Genuine and from the heart
I’m listening in from India and I so relate to all that you’re saying on this amazing, warm, funny, heart warming and real podcast. What you say about community, family, love for parents, relationships with siblings, etc are all the same here in India. I listen to this podcast on my morning/evening walks and cycle rides and I want to thank you for a great stat/end to my day, learning so much about you, your life and the lessons that you’ve learned along the way. Thank you for being you and sharing that with us, your listeners.
so relatable
so i’m listening in from India and thank you Ma’am for making a podcast with topics that are so universal. The very first ep when you talk of never having enough and growing up in a home with an extended family and where neighbours knew one another is so true for me i grew up in a one room kitchen with my grandparents and an aunt and two of her kids coz my mom, a single parent couldn’t afford a place of her own back then. and considering your parents budget constraints before you ask for the extra ice cream or think of stepping out for a meal is so relatable.
thank you!!
