If you haven’t had a chance to listen to this podcast then you need to check it out. I loved this podcast. Lynn is so funny, inspiring, and entertaining. These four (Lynn, Chesney, Neil, and Brandon) have great chemistry and make you feel like you are hanging out with longtime friends that don’t shy away from talking about mental health topics and their genuine feelings and experiences. I would say it is way more delightful than a therapy session and makes you feel much happier and normal. This really saved me during the pandemic. Also, it is fun hearing Chesney cover different songs in each episode that reflect the guest mood.
Lynn is lovely
She takes a difficult subject and makes listening enjoyable
