  • Impressive to hear vulnerability like this

    It’s so cool to hear this level of candor and vulnerability from someone processing things from childhood like this. I’ve really enjoyed listening to the insights Tobey has put in the work to have and listening along as he continues the journey. It’s given me a lot to think about in my own life and how I view situations.
