Customer Reviews
Absolutely fabulous!
Ladies,
Your show is so good and gives so much depth of knowledge to the subjects that you are presenting.
I’ve been listening to your podcast for a long time and the episodes on Bullying are great. They were a bit late for me, but I learned a lot, so next time I’ll be more prepared for this. I left my previous job due to being bullied.
Keep up your love for each other and the podcast.
With love from
Sven Onnerstad
