  • Switch off your timers Rita!!

    5 star podcast only con is the timers constantly going off with no explanation during interviews 😂 please buy an Apple Watch or something or just put your phone on silent so we don’t have to hear it. It also throws the guests I feel 😇

    Love love love Miss. Rita B and EVERYTHING about this podcast! Not quite sure how I stumbled upon this gem, but I am so glad I did. I love how Rita is authentic and unapologetically herself and I feel the same way about all of her co-host. I appreciate the light hearted tone of this show especially because it gives me a break from the business of life. You have figured out the secret Rita and I will be right here as you keep on soaring! Cheers from your US sister, Kay.

    I literally love listening when I really don’t want to drive from work and I put this podcast and all the sudden I’m encouraged to drive while eve’s dropping into a friend convo (basically what it feels like to listening to faking adulth... more
