Apple Podcasts5icjhfnc,lwosliducnhfhbcncj. jjUnited States2 years ago - So lucky to meet you guys.
Claire and Chris are lovely people and I’m not just saying this because we’ve been on the podcast, but because we have actually met them! They are exactly the same as their podcast personalities. Kind, interesting, caring and really really worth listening to. The premise here is incredibly worthy and I know their work has helped so many. Me included.
Keep being awesome and “live dangerously Dave”.

United Kingdom3 years ago - I never expected to “enjoy” a podcast about grief…
…but here we are!
Claire masterfully navigates topics that are sometimes uncomfortable to even think about. It’s been an absolute pleasure to listen along, and I’m grateful for having a few more “tools” in my own shed, for having listened.
You should, too!
