As listener Adrienne puts it:“It feels like being welcomed into the coolest inner circle of incredible women who want you to be the best version of yourself possible. Stephanie and her pals make you feel loved, seen, and heard. The episodes are honest, they're raw, and they're hilarious.”So, if your brain feels noisy and your heart feels uncertain, put your earbuds in. You’ve got a Girls Night waiting.
