  • What A Gem

    Thoughtful, lovely, useful stuff, well worth a listen. Loved episode 3, I too needed the kindness of TV shows as a kid (my touchstone was Sam on Who’s the Boss). Deeply grateful to Darcy for sharing something I’ve never discussed.

  • Highly Recommend

    Becoming Power flips the traditional perspectives we have about power upside down… in all the best ways. Valerie’s and her guests’ insights into how we should think about power and use power to influence others and make meaning change in our communities was refreshing. I’ve left feeling more energized and empowered after each episode. Can’t wait for more episodes to come along.
