so good so true so superstitious
Fun AND Helpful!
It's always fun to listen to these two ladies have a good chat about life and what's going on that can affect us all. Megan and Amanda are super insightful and uplifting. This podcast makes a positive and wonderful start to the week!
Just what I needed!
I had been meaning to listen to this podcast for awhile but hadn’t made time. The first episodes I listened to were exactly what my soul was needing to hear - a reminder to rest and to think about the story I was saying. Going to try not to binge all at once.
