Customer Reviews
Where do I even start?!
I’ve really enjoyed and learned so much from every one of their episodes! I’m saddened every time I hear the episode is coming to an end. I just finished listening to the most recent episode and I’m going back to the first one and starting all over again just to soak it all in again. I hope you don’t stop here!
Everyone should listen to this podcast!
I enjoy every single episode of this podcast that I listen to and love to tell my friends about them. I always leave encouraged and challenged. I am stirred up with fresh ideas on how to have conversations with friends, family, and strangers. The episodes force me to practice introspection and I have learned more about myself and others. Can’t wait for more!
Glad to hear you again
Thanks for continuing after what was a major disruption in your lives.
Great first year
