Falling Slowly

Strangers, at its core, is about the beauty and the struggle of human connection and what happens in those moments when we get closer to someone else, or, say, further removed from ourselves.

I looked you up after removing you from my podcast list and see you've released 3 new episodes. Do you have any from 2021? You are a very talented interviewer and I miss your stories/content

God bless this woman for telling her story. I can see a different future for this family where the wife did not have the voice or strength to stand for her family, for herself, for her children. This is such an amazing story and I'm so glad she had the courage to tell it.

[My Dad] would use the word crazy, quite a bit. She always saw the world a little bit different and she would tell us that constantly. She would say I'm different. I see the world different and people don't understand different; they try to label it. 📿🎓

This episode did a great job of shining a light on the long shadow of trauma, and how a whole new outlook can be revealed. 🕊

Jenni don't ever let anyone get you caught up with external superficial things about your appearance. They are the one's that need to quit looking in the mirror and face the reality of who they are instead. YOU and the sharing of your story are beautiful to me. (not lip service, I promise.) 🖤📿

Soooo after having said that I love the French podcast Transfert, someone recommended this podcast to me, and this is the first one from the whole series that I've listened to. Quelle gifle !!! This is somehow exactly what I needed, you've helped me channel so many feelings into my conscious mind. Thank you, I'm not feeling better, but at least I'm feeling. (no, *you're* crying!!)...

I Personally Feel As Though Good People Whom Are Wrongfully Locked Up & Have Lost So Much Of Their Precious Life Due To Our Justice System's Failure's/Screw Up's, Should Not Just Be Forgotten & Get Away With Just A Slap On The Wrist! This Is People's Lives That They Are Messing With! They Only Have One Life To Live & They Wouldn't Like It If Rolls Were Reversed. The Justice System Should Compensate Those Individuals Lives Financially When They Release Them For The Rest Of Their Remaining Life For Wrongfully Taking Away The Life Time That They Once Had...

I love your brutal honesty. I know many people can relate. Do what makes you happy. We all feel inadequate at times. And let the haters hate. They can turn the show off.
