Customer Reviews
You Saved and Changed Me for the Better!! <3
Your episodes have helped me so much to get me through my 20’s and even after that. I have resonated with almost all of your videos and you have taught me new ways to help prevent something from happening again. And you literally saved my relationship with my boyfriend because I have a lot of childhood trauma and I never knew how to deal with or how to get myself help in a way but after being here and listening and especially taking notes throughout the episodes I have become a whole different person for the better and I will forever be grateful and thankful to you. Of course I will always have my bad days some more worse than others but with everything I have learned from you those bad days don’t last days or at most a week at a time. So thank you so much and keep making episodes and being an amazingly talented women.
My favorite podcast 💕
My very first review because that’s how good this podcast is 🤍 has become a favorite ritual of mine during alone time!
Jemma is the absolute best!
I’m so happy to find this podcast. I found it yesterday and instantly had to follow. I can’t stop listening. Each episode is between 30-40 minutes long, but I don’t mind listening. Jemma, if you are reading this I just wanted to say that you are truly amazing and I thank you so much for helping me and others! From the bottom of my heart, I thank you again and again. I pray that you never stop shining your light onto others. Please continue to make more of your episodes. 🩷💐💐
