Wonderful weekly calls turned podcast
As a long-time follower, I was thrilled when Dr. Yvette’s wonderful weekly calls, Conversations From the Heart, were turned into this podcast.
I have learned so much from her wisdom and even when I was present for the original call, I still take the time to listen to these podcast episodes. I find it a great refresher to hear the rich conversations again, often picking up things I missed the first time.
