Customer Reviews
Great topics & exploration
I love that there’s intelligence in these discussions, but also comfort with not having answers - able to model for how be IN the responsibility of curiosity and how that shapes actions. (5 stars, and I love enthusiasm, but it’s a little hard for my ears with how often Ashley interrupts Mark)
Important Material
Listen up!!!! Important topics and conversations that need to be discussed. Ashley & Mark are two of the best people you’ll ever meet.
Just listen
Listen up, feel, and have the courage to live authentically you.
