Absolutely Love It!

 “Absolutely love Gisele’s new Kids Wellness Podcast! I have been listening on my way to and from work for about a week and a half.  The guests provide enriching information and heartwarming methods. Today I was pleasantly surprised to hear #11 is a Mindful Monday edition!  I found it so relaxing and brought happiness to my heart to think of all people  with gratitude.  It recentered my attitude for arriving home.
I can’t wait to listen to the next podcast, as I drive to work tomorrow.  Bringing to this community has enriched my soul. Thank you.”

Felt Energized!

“I just wanted to let you know that I tuned in to your podcast for the first time today to listen to the all-boy yoga class info. First, I want to tell you how welcoming and uplifting your voice is as the host. You were born for such a platform!!! I immediately felt my energy rise by the time you finished your first two sentences. I was drinking in all of the information from your guest. I totally agree with her observation that kids really want and need to be heard. Thank you for enlightening me on this important consideration when working with our students. I look forward to listening to all of the podcasts.”
