New Material Please

I’ve been listening to this podcast for over a year and really like the tips and the conciseness of the material. However, it’s late September of 2023, and I’m still hearing about how we are “6 months into a pandemic” or in the midst of one. Please produce some new material for post-pandemic or that at least no longer mentions it.

My favorite podcast

Before Breakfast is my favorite podcast! I have been listening for over 5 years. Each episode is a nice reminder of one little step that can be taken to bring more order to one’s life. Laura’s tips are practical, easy to implement and the info is always presented in a non-judgemental way. Thank you Laura!

Great advice, too slow

I like Laura’s advice a lot but she delivers her insights toooooo slowly. I had to check to make sure I didn’t accidentally set the speed on .75!!
Also, almost 50% add is too much.
