At first I didn’t think I wanted to listen to a podcast with just other Long Haulers talking but I was wrong. It has been such a gift listening to Beth and everyone else share their experiences and what has helped and hurt with such authenticity and vulnerability. I look forward to it weekly and am truly grateful for this podcast and the newsletter.
