  • Thoughtful and real

    This podcast lets me take a step back and consider the “why” - not just the “how” of everyday life. Rebecca is such a good listener and asks guests the questions they hadn’t thought of while giving space for honest answers. Episodes are a calm in the storm of daily life, and you’re left open to really hear the conversation
