  • Really Bad Podcast

    Very Bad Podcast. Not a lot “new” but a rehash of decades old stuff not “hers.” Law of attraction, not a big fan of, Vision Board—very old idea, but fun if you haven’t done. one. Waking up to thank a silk pillowcase? meh. Not a great episode to ever want to replay with all your other great podcasts that are fresh more recent insights
