Thank you Alexis for creating such an amazing podcast. I found out I was an NPE in July of 2021 as well. This show has helped me so much during my journey. I have laughed and cried with so many of the stories shared. I feel understood and supported. I was having an extremely difficult time and it helped ease some of the heaviness on my heart. Thank you a thousand times.
