Wow! Exactly what I needed… thank you so much for this podcast. How I wish you will continue to this podcast. I have learned so much.
I had high hopes for this podcast. The host is unfortunately, a bit out of touch. I did not enjoy the political series at all, and I found it to be very hollow and Pollyanna. However, the non-political discussion episodes can be useful. The panel of women talking about friendships they wished they could have saved is my favorite.
Shasta does an amazing job breaking down how to form closer friendships and how to navigate bumps that come up along the way. She’s insightful, empathetic, and genuine. I’ve really enjoyed listening ❤️
I loved the conversation with Shasta and her mom. The beautiful level of respect, effort, and the wonderful tools shared by both her and her mother left me nearly in tears. What an incredible moment.
As a clinical mental health student intern, friend, and podcaster with a focus on mental health, I receive so much insight on this topic of friendship. Shasta has so much grace and insight into the everyday friendship challenges. She challenges me to be a better friend and I am as a result of her wisdom. Thank you so much, Shasta! I hope to have you on my podcast one day to share the wealth of knowledge to my listeners as you have with me!
