How PBC Works:
I just wanted to say that I really felt like this apologies cluster of podcasts was very enlightening. I did not make it to the zoom but I still listened. On most podcasts I learn a few things, become more plugged in, or laugh my head off. I felt this was very introspective. The Harriet Lerner episode was amazing. I really enjoyed it. I felt like this woman is a wealth of information that is very interesting.
This introduction was maybe what I needed to hear in my covid lockdown with my partner(!). She has a lot more going on than just what you see in that episode, with speaking engagements to books to awards.
