This is an amazing podcast, if you have a good sense about f humor, then you’re in the right place
There were things I had experienced that I just couldn’t explain why they were/felt bad but listening to this podcast has helped me name my feelings, understand the situations, my actions-and just know that I am not alone.
There’s a lot I hadn’t learned in my 38 years that listening to 2 girls and their guests have taught me. The conversations people don’t have.
So, thank you.
ISWIS is the only podcast I listen to. I look forward to Wednesdays every week, it’s so fun and such a ‘jolly’ ride listening to them. Thank you ladies!
