A great listen

This podcast feels like a refreshing conversation with a wise friend. Each episode has its way of challenging my thinking, yet leaves me feeling more grounded in my ambitions. Deirdre

makmaine ,

Amazing

Jenn does a great job of asking questions many of us have been working to articulate to a diverse group of people. We get to learn from the pandemic as we still muddle through working in a pandemic -- nothing we have ever done before & barely acknowledge

JGW87 ,

Amazing podcast!

Strongly recommend this to all workers who have had to “act like normal” during these crazy times.
