  • Disappointed

    I’ve been a listener to this pod since it first started and have enjoyed so many episodes. But I was really disappointed in the recent episode with Fortesa Latifi. The episode discusses the nuance behind having children featured in online content that is being monetized by influencers. It was a great discussion highlighting both sides of the spectrum until the very end when Ginny felt the need to make a jab at the Mormon church by saying that “they pay their women influencers” without giving any... more

  • Favorite dose of inspiration

    I have been enjoying this podcast for the last year. Not only has it inspired me to spend much more time outdoors, but it has awakened the joy and wonder of the world around me. Ginny always interviews the most interesting people in such a refreshing way. I’ve increased my reading log exponentially because Ginny has an amazing ability to help her guests share their story in such a wholesome way that you feel connected and want to know more.

  • So Disappointed!!!

    This used to be my favorite podcast of all time, however the intentional tone-deafness, mind numbing silence, and intentional pretend lack of awareness of the suffering and evil of our time, is far too much to bear. You have lost ALL credibility and respect from me, and I suspect others who have a conscience, a mind, and a true faith. It’s absolutely disgusting now to listen to these happy, peppy shows as the world is literally on fire, with ZERO acknowledgement of that FACT!!! What is wrong wi... more
