I haven’t listened to many podcasts, feeling already full up with inspirational words to read. But tapping this podcast has been a gift. I believe in the power of words but listening to this conversation has reminded me that words combined with the beauty and wonder of music can fill a heart with joy and insight.
I feel like Parker and Carrie are my kind, insightful aunt and uncle in a world that often feels these days like it’s losing itself. They remind me and teach me to hold on and keep creating through light and dark.
Such a sweet, authentic, calming podcast. Even while delving into hard topics I feel a call to action and am inspired. I love these two together. Great guests and poems and conversation. Much needed, especially in these times we find ourselves in.
This is one of the very few podcasts I listen to regularly. It calms me with its gentleness and eye-opening insights on living with compassion and integrity. Carrie and Parker are treasures.
