Customer Reviews
Love this podcast
I love this podcast and I’m sad to know you’re taking a break but I understand it’s needed. I’ve been listening since last summer and it helped me take my mind off my moms passing. It also helps me get through work ( I’m a massage therapist) so I guess I’ll have to listen to the old episodes over until you resume (hopefully)!
Always better days with lovers and friends
Listening to you has gotten me through some of my worst and best days.
Courageous Candor
I appreciate Shans vulnerability with not only the topics but the process of leading the business of a podcast with her family. All love and respect! The effort and grit is felt on this end!
I try to do the same on The Kinship Collective Podcast! Learning from y’all!
