Like I’m listening to family

As a Black Caribbean millennial woman, this podcast is everything! It helped me through the pandemic while being pregnant with my second child and coping with isolation. I had some anxiety issues creep up and I really needed something like this while I was going through all the challenges. Thank you so much, the only thing that would be better is if we were friends in real life! :)
