Customer Reviews
So Good!
Stories are well told and really enjoy the guest speakers. So glad I found the podcast and highly recommend!!
Enjoyed until
I found out who and what she was and what she supported. Such a disappointment.
Fantastic & informative
I could listen to the host’s calming voice all day! Even when talking about upsetting topics she doesn’t sensationalise!
