This is a beautiful podcast. So poignant, touching and inspiring. Cody is a wonderful host and the production level is top notch! Thank you.
I constantly listen to podcasts. When I was introduced to this podcast, I was blown away… almost hypnotized. I have listened to every single episode. Every single story. Many of them I’ve listened to multiple times. Inspiring, heartbreaking, enlightening and yes, sometimes hilarious. From start to finish, these podcast episodes will have a chokehold on you like they do me. 10 out of 10 here.
It is such a gift to be invited into the lives and stories of each guest. Cody is so thoughtful in the way he honors each person’s unique journey and spirituality. Plus, the music is great!
