Most of you who read my blog are my peers age-wise and at this point in our lives, our 20s, there is a lot of growing going on.

We experience relationships, breakups, new friends, the loss of old friends, and some may experience grief for…
Happy Monday readers! Today’s post is a list of some of my favorite podcasts. I personally enjoy listening to podcasts in the morning while getting ready for the day.
