You & I

An advice podcast, hosted by Jackie Kai Ellis, exploring the questions we’ve all asked. We all struggle, mourn, yearn, question, laugh and cry. No matter who we are, at our core, we are all not so different after all, You & I. It’s through sharing that we know, in the moments where it matters so much, that we are not alone.
