Apple Podcasts4Podcast lover79Canada3 years ago - LOVE this podcast! LOVE Carling!
I have had the pleasure of joining Carling twice now as a guest.
She is extremely welcoming, so kind, and honestly is a better listener than a lot of my friends and family.
If you’re curious about whether your story ‘is good enough’ - it is. Carling is there to guide you and prompt you in a thoughtful way.
Honestly - it’s like talking to an old friend.
If you haven’t subscribed / followed already - please do. You won’t regret it.
Apple Podcasts52021Comms!Canada3 years ago - Great Podcast
I was a guest on this podcast a few months ago and REALLY enjoyed it! I am a survivor of child abuse so the topics are obviously a bit touchy at times, but Carling did such a great job at making sure I was comfortable with everything I talked about. It obviously isn’t just about the “views” for her, she genuinely cares about her guests, and her audience!
