  • What beautiful stuff

    Sometimes I get sad. Like a very deep sad that’s unnavigable and I come here to this podcast to feel OK that I am this sad. Kelsei understands a wounded heart. And it’s so nice to sit in that space with her when you too are so wounded and broken. It’s like a friend hugging you through the radio waves. It’s meant so much to me and my own story. Thank you for this podcast. Big hug back.
