Amazing, inspiring, and so relatable!

There aren’t enough words to explain how much I love (and really needed) this podcast. I could listen to Ariel talk all day long! Not only is her voice incredibly soothing, but she’s such an engaging, intelligent, thoughtful, and charming host. All of the guests featured seem to match her energy, and they are able to have deep insightful conversations about topics that most women in their 20s will easily relate to. In fact, the way they tackle relatable, but sometimes hard to talk about issues with such eloquence and authenticity is really inspiring. And it’s like every time I start to feel anxiety about a certain aspect of my life (like wanting to start therapy and feeling like I haven’t accomplished enough in my 20s), an episode pops up just in time to ease that anxiety. I often find myself nodding along and making mental notes of what is being said, and feel lighter after finishing an episode.

I definitely give Grow Room a 10/10 and would recommend it to anyone! I can’t wait to hear more!
