Customer Reviews
Empowering
I love this podcast! They give practical advice, while being funny and reassuring. If you ever wanted to DIY, this podcast will give you the tools (pun intended) to bolster your confidence. They are encouraging in the “everyone has been new at it at some point” way.
Great show!
Very valuable podcast with lots of free research and information.
So refreshing and informative!
It is so refreshing to hear from two women who are leaders in non-traditional fields! Also, I really appreciate all the insights into home repairs and remodels because it can be an intimidating process to navigate, but Amy and Alicia gave me a lot tools, tricks, and real-life experience to make me feel more confident.
