Little Gifts
Listen in as a millennial granddaughter in search of “more” picks her grandmothers brain about everything under the sun (and moon) like dealing with internalized patriarchy, how to work with dreams, finding your creative spark and so so much more. Sue Ellen Parkinson offers Savanna Wonderwheel (and everyone listening) wisdom and guidance through the gift of chat. Every conversation is a little gift and we believe a lot of little things add up. This podcast will give you a weekly dose of love and intimacy along with a little inspiration too.
It will help us a lot if you can rate us, leave a review or best yet: Follow us.
