tamar maerim · Dec 2025

I’ve never been a podcast girl. Someone shared this podcast with me a few weeks ago and I haven’t been able to stop listening. I go on a 3 mile walk every morning before my kids wake up and I find myself inspired, comforted, and walking at a slower pace because I have to take time to cry (b’h). Thank you for continually providing wonderful content! Life changing.
