Customer Reviews
So relatable!
Our family has walked a very similar journey with our son who recently graduated from WT and is now at a TBS. This podcast made me laugh and made me cry. It truly touched on all of the emotions we also have had and are still having. Such an accurate account of how WT and TBS can be transformative for a child and equally their family. All the feels! Thank you for putting everything I’ve been thinking and feeling in this podcast! Helped me process it all.
Truly helpful!
Thankful for this podcast to help us navigate through this crazy journey. So appreciative that you shared your story. Thank you for reminding us we are not alone!
Thank you!!
I just want to let you know how *much* I appreciate your podcast. WT just began for us late December. In January, I found your podcast. It spoke to my heart! I looked forward to waking up early and tuning in to your podcast while I took my walk and did my workout. Mind you - I do not typically wake up early for anyone or anything...must sleep til the very last second🤣 So this was a lifestyle change and a new thing for me. Also, I DO NOT do cold and it was freezing outside; however, I layered up and pushed on because I enjoyed the exercise along with your shared similar experiences. Thank you for taking the time to share your story. It has helped me through our own journey, more than I can say. Oh and, the ending of the podcasts where everyone said “You are not alone”...chills every. Single. Time. Thank you!!!
