This is the podcast that I wish my loved ones heard. Open heart surgery and other heart-related issues can be emotionally, mentally, and spiritually draining. No matter how much support we offer those who undergo this, nothing beats hearing someone who has gone through this, survived, and is thriving on the other end. This is one of the many reasons why Boots and this podcast is a necessity.
Boots is a great host! Smart, kind, generous, and intentional in her efforts to help others with their healing.
