Great podcast

Thank you Anderson. This is so helpful to me to hear people are going through similar feelings and situations.

Incredibly powerful

Wow. Incredibly powerful, moved me to tears so many times and filled my heart with gratitude. Thank you for your vulnerability and profound reflections on life’s deepest questions.

Beautifully done

Love Anderson’s heart. This has been therapy for me. We all suffer this grief at some point in our lives and we aren’t alone. Lost my brother first (age 33) and then my other loved ones followed.
