  • You are amazing

  • Thank you

    I was in a podcast funk. I need to listen to a podcast that has meaning and education. Something that intrigues me and also teaches me. This is all that and more. Luckily, I just started this so I have lots to listen to. Becca sounds like someone I can relate to.
