  • I don't want this podcast to end .

    Every episode is relevant. I've gotten more from this cast than a personal therapist. Each time I see the next episode I think that it doesn't apply to me but if I listen lo and behold it does . Emotions are universal and even though circumstance may be a little bit different , the emotion and leading remain the same .

  • Is it over?

    Unique and fascinating but is the show done now? No updates from the hosts and reruns for the past couple of seasons. Think I’m going to unfollow now.
