Customer Reviews
Love this pod. Amazing storytelling
This podcast is so good. It’s so informative and interesting all because the storytelling is so good. Like I’m sure this is so cathartic to hear for women that face similar problems but for me it’s all about hearing amazingly crafted stories and that moment every episode where the subject of the episode finally feels seen and believed. That’s such a great moment for the listener to hear!! And it happens every ep! 💕
Murder Podcast
It’s simple. Condoms, morning after pill or closing your thighs will keep you from getting pregnant. So barbaric to go straight to killing the baby with really no thought at all about it. Like your getting your tonsils out. Disgusting and I’m glad states now have the right to choose. Women who want to kill babies can just move to a state that have drive thru abortions every time they get pregnant.
Thoughtful
High quality and informative; impactful. Hard to listen to just one. An example of best in class, thank you.
