It's clear these two are good friends, and when I listen, I feel like I'm par... more

    One day I couldn’t find my keys. Then I turned on this podcast and shortly after, I found my keys. Who knows what else this podcast can help me find. The approval and love I’ve always craved from my father? True love? The meaning of life??
