Thank you!🙏🏻
Loved your interview with Nurse Penny! Such important info and very relatable. Looking forward to listening to all episodes- I just got started 😌
Insightful, thought provoking
This brings to mind a different perspective on death & dying, as well as living!! Thoughtfully addresses topics many prefer to avoid!
Interesting, honest, intelligent, thoughtful
