    This information about alcohol is so needed in our alcohol obsessed society. Not only is drinking alcohol encouraged but people take issue with you if you don’t drink alcohol. It’s crazy! Thank you!

  • Beautiful works here!

    Each podcast is such a gift. Even if you don’t feel like you can do it and give us sugar flour and alcohol. Even if you feel you fail at fasting when you try. It’s a safe space filled with beauty and don’t stop listening. I have so much to learn!
