  • It’s so refreshing to hear others share

    I feel it so refreshing to hear others stories. Every single one of these beautiful podcasts is the story told with courage, vulnerability, & 100% transparency. It’s so amazing to me that they can share their biggest “mistakes” with millions knowing that some will judge them but more importantly knowing that they may reach someone with the story of coming home to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Ashley is the best host & this is a favorite podcast for me. Thank you Ashley for bei... more
