  • Relateable

    I’ve been a listener from the beginning and I love this podcast. I wanted to add that I was hesitant to listen to the sober dating episode bc I am a single mom and not dating. However I still got so much out of it and appreciate you acknowledging those of us that aren’t in that space right now. You are doing such important work! I am thankful for you and your family. Thank you for also sharing them with us too. You are all very wise women! ❤️🥰

    I’ve listened to a lot of sobriety podcasts but this is the one I find myself coming back to most. Maddie just has a way with sharing her experience while gently guiding others that I haven’t really found elsewhere.
