Love is everything

This podcast is a testament to the power of Love. Every story inside each lived experience is a such an anchor for hope. I listened with my whole Self because each story had its value.

The narrative belongs to those who know the desire for freedom.

I will be listening to this podcast again because it proves above all as Khalil Gibran quote goes as I paraphrase, "Love is everything."

Brilliant storytelling

If you find yourself listening to this it's hopefully because you're searching or open to the idea of love for all. This is a brilliant set of stories woven together which highlights the struggle both men and women go through to break free of traditions and expectations put upon them. Highly recommend.
