A big thank you
​
To all who listened to Chatter that Matters this year. The show is about ordinary people who do extraordinary things, despite circumstances. Together we uncover life lessons that inspire us and others to do more and to be more, to get to where we need, want and deserve to go.
This year I chatted with Social Justice Warriors, Olympians, Artists, Musicians, Leaders and many who overcame impossible odds.
Here are my most-listened-to podcasts in 2021.
