Birthday Week Playlist Curated by Becky
Hi friends 👋 You probably know by now that there is nothing I love more than sitting down with another human and hearing their story. My heart and mind has grown in ways I could have never expected over the last year. For our first birthday I’ve curated a playlist of some of my favorite episodes over the last year. They’re stories of humans, just like you and me, changing the world every day with their bravery, kindness, and compassion. I hope you enjoy ❤️
