  • THIS IS THE BEST!!!! 🙌🙌🙌

    Y’all, this podcast is the best!!! The episodes are fun and lighthearted despite the sometimes crazy fallacies and situations Miss Kathy discusses! I am about to be senior in high school and LOVE listening to this podcast to upkeep my thinking and keep my biases under control (or purging my brain of biases😂). Miss Kathy has a wonderful sense of humor and has a great mission. I am so very grateful for this resource!!! May the Lord bless you and your family and your mission, Miss Kathy. 🩵
