    I now have a n... more

  • Thank you ! ♥️

    Thank you so much to you and your team for putting a such interesting content out there. Listening to you having these conversations with your guests in such a natural and well thought out way has been a real pleasure since I discovered your podcast. It brings me joy, comfort, a feeling wellbeing (in a kind of ASMR way…) and so much food for thought. I always make sure to find some time for it. ♥️
