Customer Reviews
Love this podcast!
I don’t normally listen to podcasts but this one has been amazing! It has been so helpful for understanding the TCK struggles of friends around me, and I also love the identity series that explores cultural issues that others are too afraid to talk about
Love this podcast!
I am so thankful that this podcast exists! It has been such a blessing to me and I am sure to others as well!
Great mission here!
I love the attitude of the host and guests on this podcast and how they seek to live and reflect on their MK experiences with hope, intentionality, mature honesty. Everyone on here is a great communicator, and the production of this show is high enough quality that I think it will become a really helpful resource in the future, to big organizations and lonely individuals and everyone in between.
