    Ash butterss - thank you. Ash gives herself and holds space for guests so beautifully. I am forever grateful for this podcast. Thanks to ash sharing so much of her self and path, I too have found myself stepping into the rooms of AA. Though sober before I started behind the smile (but only just), ash has opened my world up to meditation, wellbeing, prayer and now of course AA-the power plug! You are saving peoples lives ash-just by being you and sharing. Thank you 🫶🏻

  • Content great

    Really enjoy your podcast, the content is very helpful and inspiring. You also have a great professional delivery, it may be a little easier to digest if you were slightly more relaxed/natural, less polished.
