Bless Your Heart I'm Talking
Pull up a chair and pour some sweet tea, honey-we are getting real! Hosted by a no filter middle-aged Southern Mama, this podcast dives into the wild, messy, hilarious ride of life after 40. From sex and menopause to marriage, divorce, kids, and everything in between. Nothing is off limits, and everything is on the table. If you have ever laughed through a hot flash or cried in the grocery store aisle, this one's for you. It's so great we got a review claiming all my life stories are made up! It's a Southern goodbye on a front porch type of conversation. Bless your heart...you're gonna love it (except that one reviewer lol)! New Episode drops June 16th! (Previously Two Sides and The Truth Podcast)
