Love WWPoF Podcast
In addition to being an awesome writer, Mindy excels as a podcast host! I’ve been an avid listener for years and appreciate the episodes she puts out. Each guest has valuable and intriguing points to share and Mindy guides them through an interesting convo every time. Thank you for all you do Mindy!

I just found this podcast and I am in love. It is exactly what I have been looking for, as a newbie author. Quirky, real, nitty gritty.
Worth your time
Gets to the point and the content is useful and provocative.
