  • New found love!

    I listened to the interview with Hunter Hayes shortly after meeting him & seeing him in concert this year. He has always been a rock in my life through his music and genuine personality. I had never heard of this podcast until seeing it on his social media, but I am SO glad I did. As a therapy intern, this podcast speaks VOLUMES to me and my future in my career. I honestly couldn’t have loved this more. Thank you 🫶🏼
