Relatable. Honest. Encouraging.

As a partner of a band member who is preparing for a first time tour, I have felt anxiety, excitement, and just unknown the what ifs. When I stumbled upon this pod cast, I felt seen and comfort in hearing their stories. These ladies are relatable, honest, and it’s so encouraging for us who are going through the similar things. My partner and I are getting married next year, and this podcast gives me perspective that is so helpful. Thank you!
