Customer Reviews
Great find, touching stories
I really like this podcast. Some stories are so touching, sad, raw and connecting I just really enjoy hearing people talk through some of these really hard things they have overcome. Gives hope to us all. Thanks Dani- keep it up!
The first couple seasons are GREAT.
I agree with other reviewers: this has become a book plug podcast. Also, it’s hard not to notice the over representation of affluent, privileged people stories. Don’t get me wrong, their stories are no less relevant; however, there is a definite lack of relatability. Prep schools and gap years and trips to Europe and not the experience of, dare I say, most people.
Great .. want more shows
