Fantastic podcast! Highly recommend
Absolutely wonderful podcast! I am not going through this situation but wanted to educate myself ❤️ thank you for this! If I may give one piece of constructive feedback: this may be due to Zoom audio delays or something, but at times, you cut off and interrupt your guests. It would be wonderful to hear them finish first. Thank you!
