Wow wow wow Anita. I listened to your interview with the phenomenal Giselle Pelicot and I was riveted , moved ,humbled , inspired.
Your interview was so skilled . You are genuine and warm and it shines through. I love what you’re doing. It really is the best podcast out there. I literally wait for the next episode to drop. Thank you to you and all your team . Bravo 🙌🏽
