Wise, Positive and Encouraging

Ladies, thanks so much for your empathetic and gentle, yet motivating, messages. I especially appreciated the recent episode on letting go of young adult children- so important but so hard to do! Your in-law advice was excellent, too. I subscribed and am looking forward to listening more.

Perfect Message and Timing

Super honest and understanding - hitting words that ring true. How do I find my ‘true-self’ in mid50’s - empty nest mom. Major career that I stepped away from. Finding who I am in the next phase of life.

So authentic and honest

I enjoyed the conversation on removing our mask . As an enneagram 1 and Brene brown fan I felt like asking you both to meet for coffee so we can just chat more deeply.
