I love the new podcast series! What a wonderful and helpful podcast, I like the fact that it contains practical advice I can put into action right away. The two of you are such entertaining hosts, keep up the great work.
Thank you for your transparency and your generosity of shared knowledge. I look forward to all of your episodes!!
Meal prep was always a problem for me – that’s why I ended up ditching healthy home-made work-day lunches for store bought pre-packaged versions. Helps to hear how others are doing and that it does not need to be overthought.
