Great Podcast

It is nice to have a down to Earth podcast like this one. The show gives you practical ways on getting over life’s problems. I love how raw and honest every episode is and I highly recommend it.

Amazing! Absolutely ❤️

Both these ladies are just amazing people. My company (Southern, Sweet & Sassy) was featured on this podcast and I had a wonderful time. They’ve asked questions that pertained to us, and we had great conversation. They are hilarious and really put you at ease. It’s like having a cup of coffee with your friends but virtually.

Real World Passion

I enjoy listening to Rietta and Connie every week. They flow naturally together. Guests provide an intuitive and deep understanding of topics they are most passionate about. It takes bravery to share such personal stories and it’s absolutely inspiring. If you are looking for a real world perspective this should be your go to podcast.
