💌 Dear Me: The letters we wish we could send
What wisdom do we wish we’d had years ago, and what do we want to remember in the
future? Listen to six storytellers across generations dig deep as they share self-compassion and encouragement to the women they were, and the women they will become.
If you’ve ever thought, I wish I knew then what I know now, this show will hit you in the heart. You’ll laugh, cry and walk away with reminders you didn’t know you needed today.
