4.5 out of 5 stars from 22 ratings
  • Three coachs

    These three characters or coaches(i let you choose) are amazing! Really enjoy listening to the questions and perspectives they have. I have to refrain myself from binge listening. Maybe if I have a long indoor bike trainer ride. I will have to figure out ways to listen while doing chores or in the car(cage).
