  • Fun and informative

    This podcast popped up on my Instagram and I’m so glad it did! So much information is shared by Therese and her interviewees and I feel like I know a lot more about the industry already which is super empowering. The chats are fun and easy to listen to, and for a wholesale newby, lead me to feel less daunted and excited to get stuck in. Thanks Therese!

The problem I now have is if I ever meet her then to me she’ll be like... more
