restorative

Taj, her writing, and this podcast are truly thought provoking and restorative. The content explored is always exceptionally meaningful and relevant to ANYONE living this crazy beautiful thing called life, especially those who feel like they’re not. I gain endless clarity and benefit so much from sitting with my thoughts (and usually notes) after listening. This is certainly one of my favorite podcasts of all time, can always shift my mood and energy in just the right way, and provides critical “aha” moments through the simplest, most heartfelt, and vulnerable conversations. This podcast will not disappoint if you are wanting to look within in any way. Each episode helps me to realign my world and I am so grateful!
