Very Brave
I’m a Mother, Grandma, and Wife Reshma You’re interviews are so inspiring meaningful so enjoying listening and still listening I have to share with My Daughters and My Mother and Aunts , Family, Friends Bless You Always now still listening
It's Okay
Not perfect is right, but fine for listening in the car.
Awesome, inspiring listens
I look forward to a weekly long walk with my dog so I can listen to Reshma uninterrupted. I always feel inspired after listening to her and the amazing people she interviews. As a teacher and co-leader of a girls’ leadership after school program, I often find myself drawing from her wisdom.
