authentic and honest

I loved this episode and Abby's letter. I am going to go write a letter and listen for the response.

Authenticity

Genuine connection with honest discussion versus bs type influencer discussions. This is my first listen and I’m off to listen to more. So god and I didn’t know the hosts at first 🥱😂
