Customer Reviews
Round of applause!!
This podcast has all you want in listening pleasure. A funny storyteller, real life relatable things, lessons for life, great guests, interesting tidbits, and Julia’s mom! Every week I can’t wait to hear who the guest is and all about them. My ultimate fav part is the zooms with mommy at the end of each episode. I love their relationship as mother and daughter and you can almost palpate the love through the radio. Julia- keep it up! I love it and tell everyone to listen.
More Please!
I never write reviews (and I need to work on that), but I literally had to google how to write a review for this podcast. I’m obsessed with Wiser Than Me! I am going to literally pray that this podcast goes on forever and that there will be like 20 seasons. Amen. Thank you Julia!
Life Affirming
At 54 this is so what I need to listen to as I head into my 3rd act. Thank you Julia and all your guests for the insightful, hilarious, and emotional conversations. 💓
