Amazing Podcast
Love what Donna is doing with this platform. She’s shining a light on people who need to be known.
Beautiful Podcast
Listen to this podcast!!
Wonderful, Uplifting Podcast
With so much that’s not positive in the world today, Donna Valente chooses to focus instead on what is being done to turn things around and make the world a better place for so many who otherwise might find themselves alone and struggling. As a once-disabled person, I hear the voice of others in this podcast who have found a way to overcome hardships and turn those hardships into good for others. If you are looking for a day-brightener, listen to Giving Heart Beat!
