Grit.
Nice work. There’s a lot of things intriguing about yours storytelling, and above all your ability to be genuinely open to sharing. I can tell this is going to be a springboard to some content that we can all benefit from. Keep hammering girl
Excellent
Aimee shares an all too familiar story of chasing the American/College dream, desperately trying to find the balance of success, money, happiness, and meaning. Each episode she draws the listener in, as you sit on the edge of the seat for the ready to hear the next segment (tricks of the trade I suppose). Highly funny and entertaining, but shares a sense of vulnerability that many of dream off having in our own lives.
New favorite!
Aimee is funny, informative, and I only wish there were more episodes! You feel her highs and lows right along with her, and I was on the edge of my seat with some of her stories. The music is very well thought out too.
