I love this podcast!

Found them by accident when looking for another popular self help person. Wound up listening to the first episode and FELL IN LOVE with the ladies.
They crack me up, are down to earth and hit so many subjects, super well rounded. I have shared the podcast with my friends, family and 14 yr old stepdaughter.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
