Much of that progress I owe to the assistance of two development editors recommended by the amazing team at Girl Friday Productions: Shannon O’Neill and Marisa Solis.

A Look at my Listens
Had a weekend of housework and worthwhile podcast listening… Here’s to better living through listening.
IFS Riches

Her list included Oprah and Dr. Bruce Perry’s What Happened to You?: Conversations on Trauma, […]

In episode 170 of We Can Do Hard Things, Abby Wambach and Amanda and Glennon Doyle are joined by Dr. Becky Kennedy. The four […]
