Boring!

This is boring. And these concepts are so dated. Sounds like they are discussing the 1950’s or something. Unsubscribed!!

Cannot wait to hear more! She got me with the Diva episode and I binged listened to all the others. She is so relatable and has really deep, personal conversations with amazing women.
