Customer Reviews
A much needed initiative
I’m yet to listen to my first pod. But I’m so elated to see this. I believe it’s long over due. The Ghanaian and African child endures so much in the name of values, culture and parenting norms. It’s about time we had such deeper conversations to break generational traumas and live our best lives. Thank you Petrina.
Transformative and Simple
I said transformative because in 16 short minutes the podcast delved deep but kept it simple. Thought provoking , without leaving the listener wanting for tools and steps to keep processing . Each episode builds so listen to them all (my personal suggestion)
