I LOVE this Podcast

Aurora and Kelly really deliver the real raw vulnerability that is necessary in having these conversations. They are so respectful and open to learning. They have something special that we can all learn from. I am constantly interacting with their Instagram account (they share so many insightful stories, posts, and resources as well) and referring back to previous episodes. And don’t even get me started on the sound and production quality (🔥). I love this show!!
