Such a well of knowledge and light

I thoroughly enjoyed meeting Justine and having her as a guest on my podcast to enlighten and empower mamas on ways to cope with anxiety. She is hilarious and just so relatable - as well as she graciously shared some of her exercises and strategies that she uses in her therapy sessions. This show is nothing short of the same impact that I experienced through the pleasure of conversation I had with her. Thank you for all you do , Justine.
