I appreciate how the host challenge herself to make changes
Joe Holder gave great tips in improving fitness. Thanks for something more useful
Such a great listen! It always inspires and challenges me with energy and optimism. Shelby does such a great job interviewing her guest and I can often hear the smile on her face. I might not tackle any great challenge like her guests but I’m inspired to tackle my own challenges with renewed vision and hope.
