Customer Reviews
Hearing advice is never this fun!
These ladies are funny, genuine, and awesome. I’ve both made & avoided purchases thanks to them. I’ve also been inspired to make worthwhile changes in my home$ my routines. Even the ads are pleasant :)
Awesome podcast!!
I LOVE listening to Kristen and Jolenta’s journey as they read and review self help book. I am usually laughing multiple times during the episode. 😊
Entertaining and educational at the same time’
Kristen & Jolenta have such cute and quirky personalities that compliment and play off each other so well. The books they live by are really interesting, and I learn little tidbits about them as they share their experiences. Listening to them is like listening to friends… and it helps distract me as I workout at the gym. Thank you for bringing us this great podcast and sharing your experiences with us!
