Love this Podcast

I stumbled onto this podcast by accident. The title hooked me in. I just loved the positivity in it. I began listening in the episodes are so short that it was a breeze to listen to, and I found myself wanting more information more of what Samra had to offer. There are so many similarities between myself and Samra that I just had to listen on. I encourage you to do the same if you are needing some motivating words or just a little positive reinforcement in your day. super awesome podcast checks all the boxes.
