@bossladycoach ,

This is so needed, Thank You

I appreciate the creation of this podcast and space to have this intimate sacred conversation. Our Creencias are an integral part of our identity and craft who we become in this life time. I loved it!

soy Lola ,

Un regalo

Told with warmth and humor, the story resonated with me because of what I feared as a child. Now (a few decades later), I'm growing to understand and appreciate what it means to embrace my African heritage and my own spiritual beliefs. Gracias for this podcast.

YhaneSmith ,

Thank you!

I don’t multi-task so my “intake” has to do all the things: educate, entertain, inform. This show did all of that! Thank you!
