This podcast has been transformational in giving me my God given agency and voice- and been a resource I share with dear friends and loved ones to give them permission to BE themselves. Dr Allison speaks with so much gentleness and tender mercy, grace and compassion, truth and love. The wisdom she shares is valuable and practical and the questions are given with compassionate curiosity. This podcast and her resources are a gift of Gods grace and nurturing care.
