What a great way to start a podcast! Comfortable and relatable. I loved how the guests were invited to share a conversation over a beverage with Craig. It was an easy listen that made me laugh and take inventory of my own story. I took away feeling empowered and reflective. I never thought I could consider myself a half empty glass holder always a glass half full but I can understand how others could view those two options positively. Cheers to more episodes!!!

Half full …I’ll cheers to that!!!
