  • Wonderful combination of politics and relationships

    I feel seen as one whose purpose is radical social change and who has tried to apply my values to my relationships (with great difficulty but heartwarming success). Nicole is easy to listen to but plenty substantive. If you are looking for tools to revolutionize the way you interact with your loved ones, this is the podcast for you.
