  • Fuel and medicine for the hard work of living

    The most nourishing conversations I’ve listened to in a good while. Willow is a gifted interviewer with a gorgeous voice, and every guest so far has been so powerful, and the discussions so meaningful, I’m listening to them all a second time. I’m left each time chewing on new ideas, and feeling more resourced for the work of change.
