  • Very raw and open

    It’s hard to say how I feel after listening to some of these as they are so raw and just very open and to the point too which I enjoy but also very comforting that it’s been talked about in the sense of relatability. In a world where things are censored or hidden I can appreciate the depth the conversations have and genuine connections it brings!
