AHA after AHA

This podcast. Oh Em Gee. I’ve yet to listen to an episode where I don’t obtain some new ideas/perspectives. As a licensed clinician, I’m always on the hunt for new info to help my clients apply professional development and psychology concepts into their daily lives and Leann’s chats with the authors make it effortless. So freakin’ good- love the down to earth approach. Plus Leann has such a pleasant interview style, I feel like I’m listening to a good friend chat with another good friend!

Accessible and down to earth!

I love the conversation with Dr. Stoddard and Leann. It’s so refreshing to hear such a candid discussion and learn about what inspired her to write the book. This is a unique podcast. I’m already looking forward to the next episode!
