Inspirational Podcasts
I'll admit it. I just discovered podcasts in the summer of 2018. I'm not sure where I was but clearly I was missing out! My world opened up when I found a plethora of programs - wonderful stories, inspirational endeavors and fascinating discoveries. Oh, and books, books and more books!

Here are my favorites. Some of which have changed my life or made it better.
