I'm so glad I found this podcast...

I still don’t understand everything I listen to word for word (my English, unfortunately, is not at the level I would like)... but I listened and cried... cried... a very soulful and touching story, and at the same time very life-affirming

Great podcast But..

I enjoyed listening to your podcast but talking and translating words to spanish in a podcast meant to be english teaching podcast is annoying

Captivating and well-spoken - highly recommended

This was such a fantastic episode! I found it captivating, easily digestible and thoroughly professional. The tone was slow and well-considered which made it a pleasure to listen to. I also appreciated how profoundly personal the subject matter was, and how much the speaker was willing to share with us. Her reflections were both brave and thoughtful. The interviewing was excellently executed and I would recommend this episode and podcast in general to everyone!
