  • Love the podcast!

    I’m almost 2 1/2 years sober, when I first got sober I would listen to this podcast while walking and it helped so much! I especially loved the episodes with your mom, her voice is so soothing and she seems very nurturing. You’re lucky to have her! 🫶

    Episode #174 was Madeline’s best episode to date. Her truth about our perspective on ourselves and our bodies is exactly how I (and many women) feel everyday in today’s society. I truly appreciate your insight and honesty in every episode.
