  • Aurora is the real deal.

    This podcast is interesting, insightful and needed. I love content that ushers in and opens people up to the nuance and uniqueness of certain human experiences, and that leave you more openminded and open hearted then you were before you tuned in. Aurora's voice is also soothing and she is a great listener.
