Real and Meaningful

I am not a podcast listener, but this one has me tuning in weekly to catch every episode! I feel such a strong sense of connection and community by listening to other peoples journeys- both similar and totally different than mine. It has been so refreshing and a wonderful tool to help me process my own emotions and feelings.

Jess and Shannon are truly making a difference by sharing not only their journeys but so much perspective on strategies to get through each part. Please keep sharing those gifts with everyone, you two!
