I love this woman
I read her book years ago and fell in love with her after seeing her at a convention for Hayhouse. I went for someone else, but for me, Kris Carr stole the show. Her energy is bright and positive and loving, and it’s exactly what the world needs. It’s absolutely what I need in my life. I’m so grateful that she has opened her heart and voice even more with us, and is now on a podcast. So blessed to have this beautiful woman as a teacher to humanity. ❤️
New and Loving it!
Introduced to Ms. Carr and her podcast by a friend who raved about it as fun, informative and inspiring. After listening to my first episode, I think she should add down-to-earth, relatable, and relevant. I am looking forward to exploring every single episode!
