Amy Wajda ,

Amazing

You have a great podcast! “My Parents don’t live me” episode helped me soo much in understanding why they are the way they are, I needed to hear all of that because I truly felt like it was always my fault and because of that I have pushed them away for years. I hope after listening to that episode things will get better. I took a lot of notes to help me. Thank You! Now off to listen to more episodes of your podcast🤍

Bongitas ,

Thank you 🙏🏼

You both have given me hope. Your compassion is so genuine. Thank you for this life changing podcast.

My jaw dropped the entire episode

Holy crap. So, I’m challenging myself to 21 days of shadow work/working with my inner child. Today is day one - I tried traditional journaling with random shadow work journal prompts but I couldn’t 100% get there/connect. I decided to random search for a podcast that explains the need for validation - this one was calling me so I gave it a try and wow. This episode just connected so many dots for me. The way the hosts communicated was clear, direct, intentional, passionate, and warm. I now have 5 pages of notes and lots to dig into. To the hosts - Thank you both for your hard work and service. I am so grateful❤️
