  • My new favorite podcast

    I have struggled in our industry for years with insecurity myself. Listening to this podcast this week finally made me feel seen/less alone. Some of the subject matter is hard to hear but the conversations need to be heard and it really makes you take a hard look at your own behavior and the behavior of the people around you. Conversations, like the ones on brAVe space, are going to benefit all of us. This is a podcast everyone should listen to and I can’t wait for more content.
