Customer Reviews
Great listen
Informative and fun, appreciate access to these experts
Warm, genuine, educated hug
I love listening to these awesome women! Genuine conversations that always leave me thinking, asking questions and wanting to learn more.
Informative and helpful Pod from some top docs
I’ve only listened to 4 episode so far but these short and sweet shows are really informative. I love how they bring in experts in each field but are able to share their own knowledge as well. I definitely went out to Walgreens after the skin care episode!
