The Permission to Be Human Podcast debunks the myths we were told about fairytales and forever, so we can create a new map for life, love, and conscious relationships. Freedom is, in fact, the new F word.    If you're seeking permission to choose your own path, and want to feel less alone along the way, we've got you.   With heart-shaped sunglasses,   Janelle & Andrea.
