Thank you so much for this episode, David:) I really enjoyed listening to Emily & her story. She’s such a Badass! I quickly became a fan of hers. And I thought it was Brave of her to share her story, vulnerability & love for her Sister and Father. This episode had it all…laughs, tears, joy…loved every minute of it. It was real, relatable & Authentic. Thanks for the Filipino representation too. Took a trip down memory lane for me…remembering watching the original Star Wars movie for the 1st time as a kid with my older Brother then some how Filipino parties & Karaoke popped up in my head too. LOL. And that we are never too old for Cosplays & Disney.
Great job! Hope to have her back again so she can talk about her Disney cruise experience;) Can’t wait!
Thank you Skyler! I am truly touched by your comment and that you took the time to sit through the entire episode 🙂 Means the world to me that it took you back to happy times as kid. God bless and thanks again for your kind words.
