    If you can’t find an hour or two to read academic studies and learn from experts, don’t worry — Lisa Leong somehow is able to condense everything in 25-minute episodes that don’t make you feel like you’re failing in life. Seriously, some shows and articles make me feel like I’m behind and can never catch up! Even more, you’ll find that Lisa Leong is your best friend in Australia who’s always pushing you to “work it, baby” ;) Def a 5 star show with a 5 star host!
