My Kind of Life
My podcast, My Kind of Life, is organized in seasons. Seasons of my life when I was curious about certain things and went all in, per usual.
Season one and season two are about vulnerability and having brave conversations.
Season three is my social entrepreneurship project where I provide helpful resources to parents of children with food allergies and immune imbalances.
I invite you to pick and choose episodes as they apply to you and the season you're in.
