- Like sitting down with a friend
Dear Nina feels like sitting down with a wise, kind friend who understands how complicated adult friendships can be, and isn’t afraid to talk about the parts we usually keep to ourselves.

I love this podcast so much! So insightful and interesting… the reason I haven’t given it 5 stars is that when Nina reads out things she sounds really robotic which ends up being a little irritating because it’s something that she can definitely work on and sound much better while reading ads but hasn’t yet…
