  • Loved the Tech Episode (100)

    I am new to your podcast but I started out with the 100th episode about making technology work for you and I loved it! I immediately started a grocery list on my reminders app and shared it with my husband! I am a pen and paper gal that’s slowly trying to use technology to my advantage and this episode was a good foundation. I look forward to listening to more of your episodes and discovering past ones!

I really enjoy this podcast overall: Shannon’s tone is like li... more
