Customer Reviews
Great Team
I met Kim in rehab in 2018, even while she was in pain, she had an infectious positive attitude about her. I feel that I’ve learned so much over the last 3 years. Thanks for being there. Both you and Anna are awesome to listen to.
So much HOPE!
This podcast is such an inspiration. Kim and Anna have clearly been through so very much trauma, but they tell their stories with such raw honesty while making us laugh along the way. These gals inspire me to live life with the same tenacity and grit. If you’ve ever had any disappointments in life, or if you’ve ever walked with a friend through trauma, you need to listen. You won’t regret it. And if trauma isn’t your thing, but you love a good love story-Kim and Anna have those too. 🥰
A Tear Jerker - But in a good way
Typically this is not the type of podcast I gravitate towards, but for me THIS is the exception. This mother/daughter podcast is very honest about how they feel and believe me they have had more to deal with than anyone I know. You can sense the genuine love they have for each other and their desire to share their story to help others. The ladies speak of the "butt tingle", but each episode should come with a Kleenex warning scale on a 1-5 because most episodes are a five. The interview with Kim's sister was amazing. I thought Kim and Anna set the bar but Aunt Debbie smashes right through it. If you have feelings you should be listening to this podcast. If you don't have feelings, you should also listen to this podcast and you will finally get in touch with those feelings you knew were always buried down deep.
