As a writer, as a parent, and as someone who flailed around with very similar questions at the age of 35-36, I thoroughly enjoyed binge-listening this.”

“This podcast resonates with me on so many levels that I never thought could be touched via audio. It’s amazing to hear someone else’s story, especially when it mimics your own. Unbelievably edited. Thank you for making this.”
