  • Not enough new content

    I love the episodes that are offered, but I have to repeat them too often. The more the creator does the less content we get per podcast.

  • So helpful!

    Kathryn strikes just the right note for me. Her beautiful, relaxing voice and her compassionate and wise guidance are very healing and avoids being overly “woo woo” (which gets on my nerves). This podcast is really a treasure.
