A Favorite!

This podcast quickly became a favorite of mine. I like the conversational format and the blend of funny humans, seasoned experts, and combos of the two! AHP is empathetic and honest, with a perspective on the world and skills for discernment that are just top notch.

I’m not alone in my frustrations!

Every episode has had a segment I can relate to. It’s cynically nice to hear other people considering the same situations. A verification I’m not alone in my frustrations and good soul food for thought on how to continue my personal growth in both my professional and personal life.
