Thank you for being so open and honest. I believe this work will help so many people. Your perspectives and learnings have really impacted me in a positive way. Keep up the good work you are doing here! I am excited to keep tuning in.
Authentic Voices
Listening to this I hear the voices of gentle self reflection and strong intention to lead lives guided by spiritual principles. Paige and Emily are showing us a way to find that spiritual source that is unique to each individual. They invite us to join the journey to explore ways to live in alignment with our core values and beliefs. In sharing their experiences they are creating a safe community for all to grow. Thank you.
Learning to trust
Each episode is better than the last, #7 being my favorite!
Paige and Emily invite us to join them in the quest to be able to “hear” one’s conscience, and then lead a more admirable life, through an “easy access” tried-and-true 12 step program they have modified based on their experiences and personal successes. I’ve learned several things listening. Thank you working hard and striving to help others.
