- More than my favorite podcast
It’s not my “favorite”podcast, because that word wouldn’t honor what it means to me each week. In the soulful words of Maya Angelou, “I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” Each week, Lizzie and Justin make me feel closer to myself, loving, caring, wondering, and discovering life.
