  • A beautiful podcast! Perfect for when you need a positive nudge or to feel less alone.

    Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful! The calm aura of each episode alone put me in a still, reflective mindset and makes me more receptive of the messages being given - comparable to meditation, even. This is a great podcast for those who love books, especially self-help books (which should be all of us, really). I love that she shares her experiences and relates them to the messages of each book that she discusses. These lessons are relatable but subtle; lessons that you may or may not even think ... more

  • A must listen for your podcast rotation

    Thoughtful, intentional insight from the host Amaka that feels like an in-depth conversation between you both. It gives you the feeling of having learning something new and motivation to be better, while knowing that the ups and downs of life are not felt by you alone. She says her goal is to have even if it’s the smallest positive impact on her listeners with what she shares from her reads and her life, and I think she does just that. Looking forward to more episodes.
