I’m bringing you along on my journey to learn more about whisky. And opening up about all my weird as an invitation to you to do the same. Let’s drink some whisky and be weird! Disclaimer: This podcast is not polished and pretty. That’s not me. I’m showing up with the wonder and authenticity I have witnessed in my preschoolers. Exposing my weird and inviting you to embrace yours. And, enjoying a glass of whisky.
