Customer Reviews
Life changing!
Kristen’s joyful enthusiasm radiates in her compelling take on two of my favorite things - wine and jazz. Little did I know when I started her pod on Sonny Rollins that it would inspire a life change … As soon as I finished hearing about Sonny’s sabbatical, I found my husband and told him that we needed to make some life changes together to support what we valued - NOW. And we did. Six weeks later, we moved into a house where he could place a grand piano for his work and that has made a huge difference in our lives. (Plus, the house is a great place to drink delicious wine.) So, thank you Kristen for using your interests and pro skills to inspire others! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🍷🎹🏡❤️
