    I heard this podcast on my way to work. I felt like Claire was sitting right next to me and we were having a simple chat. The strategies she shared are easy going and not intimidating in any way. I was able to use a plenary she referenced in her show (the door exit ticket) this afternoon. It worked wonders! I’ll definitely be listening to more shows!
