    I love this podcast and listen to it at least once a week late on sunday washing dinner’s dishes. It’s always a breath of fresh air and wonderfully invigorating. I also love Alice’s sense of humour and voice. I think I have gotten at least one very good advice from each episode so it feels like a very sharp life hack. I wish we could have it weekly. Thank you!
