Everyone has a story. The difference is, not everyone has someone willing to listen. Sometimes, we need someone to ask the hard questions and go beyond the easy response of “I’ve Been Better”. This podcast is designed to create a safe space for people to discuss the real, hard, and unbelievable yet believable, parts of life. Hosted by therapist and “professional listener,” Susan Youngsteadt, join us each week for a conversation connecting with real people about real emotions and real stories.
