  • Always what my heart needs

    It doesn’t matter which episode I am listening to, it could even be a topic I am not familiar with or do not know she is talking to before I start listening, whatever it may be, I always find something. A quote, a positive affirmation for myself, a pat on the back, or a balm for my soul at that time. Dre is truly authentic and she is like that pal that you can always count on to be there to listen to you.

  • I’m Biased, but hear me out!

    Circle This is the kind of podcast that feels like a good book - curl up with a cup of tea on your sofa and just click “play”. The host (my sister Andrea), and Emily have a dynamic that feels effortless — like you’re sitting with friends who aren’t afraid to talk about real life - the messy parts, the funny parts, and everything in between. Every time I listen it leaves me with something to think about and inspired to reflect a little more on my own life. Highly recommend. 🎧✨
