Customer Reviews
Fabulous host!
Vanessa prepared so thoroughly and asked wonderful questions. She really knows her audience well and speaks to them. ~ Dr. L. Carol Scott
Everyone needs a mentor!
This is a terrific podcast for learner of all ages. We all have something to learn and I’m excited to see which topic Vanessa will cover with each episode.
Helpful tips
Listening to Vanessa’s podcasts helps answer questions that I’ve been thinking about in the back of my mind but never thought to research. Her latest podcast regarding preparing our children for college is truly insightful! Trying to navigate thru the process once you’re in the middle of high school is really too late. I’ve learned some great tips now that my children are just starting high school and middle school. Thank you!!!!
