  • Wow! New Favorite Podcast

    I started listening to this podcast to help with some breathing and emotional healing techniques. Wow! This podcast is so much more than the name. I’ve listened to several episodes so far today. I had to stop to implement some tools I learned. It’s so much good content. I’m going to binge the whole channel.

    Shiree thanks for making this podcast. You’re a beautiful light. I love listening to your voice.

  • Inspired to Grow

    This is a fantastic podcast. Shiree’s weekly stories and experiences are meant to help us love those in our lives who have chosen a different faith journey than their parents or other loved ones, but I have learned so much about how to build good relationships with people even inside and outside of my own faith tradition. It is a pleasure to learn from Shiree and her guests. I highly recommend this podcast.
