This is my favorite podcast to listen to either when working out or when on my commute. I love that I can also have my kids around and in fact enjoy having them around while listening to this podcast because sally is so positive and encouraging. I learn a lot and more importantly get a ton of inspiration from this. Give it a listen and you won’t regret it!
Apple Podcasts5DaniB9586United States2 months ago - Come back year
I have a foot surgery 2 years ago that was supposed to heal within 2 weeks but unfortunately it turned into a nightmare, and I was later diagnosed with a chronic pain disorder in my foot. Unable to walk let alone run for almost 2 years. I’ve slowly been building back and you both have taught me how to be strong and stay strong through it all. Your podcasts are an inspiration and keeping me going always. Thank you!
