  • Encouraging and Ideal Episode Length

    Elizabeth has encouraged me so much in motherhood through this podcast. She asks great questions in her interviews, and I love when she has an author on whose book I’ve read or want to read. And the episodes are just the right length - perfect for listening to while my little ones are sleeping and I’m getting a couple of chores done. 😅
