Customer Reviews
So good!
This is one of my favorite podcasts. Kristen and Jolenta are the perfect combination, truly good people, and someone you would want as your best friend. Keep it coming!
Love it!
Kristen and Jolenta are the best!
Very insightful, funny, candid podcast
As someone who doesn’t necessarily enjoy self help books, this podcast makes it so fun to listen to how they implement the advice in the books they choose. Very witty, funny, yet realistic and insightful!
