Canadaa year ago - I feel so much less alone
It feels so validating, knowing that someone has been through almost the exact same things/feelings as I have. This podcast is helping me to realize that I’m not a bad person. Everything is going to be okay. I’m definitely still struggling, but it is amazing hearing real stories, because it helps me to not feel crazy. Thank you for doing this podcast!
