  • Joy

    This podcast brings me so much happiness and joy and I really enjoy the short shows. Emily brings up an idea and then it becomes almost like a journal entry for me. Emily also has the most amazingly calm delivery. I highly recommend this podcast even if you haven’t physically lost someone because she discusses all different kinds of grief that one can experience. Thank you!

There is comfort in finding a community of people who aren’t afraid to break down their walls and share intimate details from some of their darkest days in orde... more
