Can’t stop listening!
This podcast is sooooo interesting I can’t stop listening. We really need to keep empowering each other as women and Kelley & Emily do just that. Brilliant show. Keep it up!
Addicting and fun!
I binged this podcast in about three months and adored every second of it. So many podcasts are just a topic but you really get to know Kelley and Emily so the show feels so full. The worst part is I’m caught up and now have to wait for episodes. Listening to them is like going home!
So sad to be all caught up
I found you ladies about 3 months ago. I have been with you through all the craziness of the past two years. Thank you for allowing me to come into your lives weekly, or daily for me. I have never been so sad to be caught up. Now I have to find something else to listen to on my commute and while in the shower. Thank you for being so awesome!!!
