  • Nelly and her kind and insightful pearls of wisdom

    Loving listening to Nelly and her guests.

    She’s down to earth, compassionate and funny. I have shared the link with a few of my ‘single after 40’ friends, and some of my married ones too!

    Keep it up. And thank you.

  • Authentic Audacity

    Always authentic and thoughtful. Thank you for demonstrating boundaries with your decision to go monthly instead of weekly - this is something that needs to be more visible (audible?!) in our society. Also, if anybody over 40 has the executive functioning capacity to focus on a change in podscast ep frequency, who are you and what drugs are you on. MWAH! 😘
