  • Love. Love. Love.

    I’ve always loved the idea of experimenting with podcast formats and Danny’s show makes my heart so happy. So much serendipitous moments because of these random questions. The episode with Mandy was so good. I relate with the childhood uncertainties and building confidence through life’s experiences. 💚
