Customer Reviews
General
My review as a listener since this podcast was founded, is that I find the topics very interesting to me as a man, in spite of its title and mainly intended audience (women). I have known Erin for many years. She is intellectually curious, well read, thoughtful, introspective, intelligent, and a kind soul. Her topics are becoming more and more non-gender oriented. Even the ones about women issues, I found valuable so that I could understand what women, namely my wife, deal with and their perspective on things. This is helpful in any relationship. Erin is funny and has a keen ability to speak candidly and empathetically. My week isn’t complete without listening to her podcast. I highly recommend her!
Who’s the Adult Here?!?
I truly felt like an adult the day my dad died.
Love this creator
Easy to listen,too. Real application for your life as a maturing woman. Thank you Erin.
