  • Not for me so far!

    I really thought this was going to be the perfect podcast for me, but it didn’t hit the mark. So much padding and ads in the first half and then the ‘productivity hack’ was so basic.

    I’m going to give it another go to see if I like the other episodes as I usually love Mamamia podcasts!
