    This podcast has been my favorite for a while now. It is the perfect blend of educating, inspiring, welcoming, and comforting. The way the hosts interact is peaceful and fun. The content interesting enough to keep my scattered mom brain engaged and soothing enough to be a place of rest and refreshment for my overstimulated mind. It really is a safe place to learn and take the next step without feeling like you’re doing it all wrong if you’re not “perfect.” Thank you both! I love feeling like I’... more

I look forward to every other Tuesday eagerly and am always wondering what’s up next on the list of interesting topics.

    The way they approach this way of eating and the lifestyle that make it happen always inspire me, and I ap... more
