Absolutely love these podcasts!! Great guest speakers and information!
Be ready to be pleasantly surprised that this is not an informational podcast, it is a transformational podcast, where voices that matter and are so often overlooked find a place behind the speakerphone of love, providing fresh perspectives and calling us to action no matter who we are or where we find ourselves in life, through partnership in our communities.
