  • Helpful but hard to listen to

    I thought the information was often helpful but had to quit listening because the way she presented was so grating. It’s very stilted and slow, with emphasis in odd places as if she’s reading the script for the first time. I really wanted to like this but think I will need to stick to her written resources.
