  • My new favorite podcast

    I somehow stumbled upon D'Arcy's podcast and I'm so glad I did – I've been binge-listening ever since. She is so eloquent, well-spoken, experienced, intriguing, and inspiring, and just the right amount of "woowoo"/spiritual. ;) Her guests are some of the best of the best in the industry and I learn so much from all of her interviews and topics. Every minute of every episode is so valuable. Thank you D'Arcy!!
