Don’t be fooled by all that pink shimmer

Both hosts are smart, informed and opinionated so even though the topics tend to be on the light side, they ground the discussion with their intelligence and humanity. There’s nothing I wouldn’t want to hear their take on and I’m listening every day that I can.

Thought provoking and positive

Love this new podcast- they’ve hit on some tough topics but I’m still left optimistic after hearing the incredible stories and work of the women they’ve interviewed.

Great first impression

I heard about this podcast in an ad and gave it a listen. I was in a really negative mind space and the episode I played truly helped (the stunning effects of optimism). Can’t wait to listen to more! ❤️❤️🥲
