Thank you for giving Marianne this platform. I believe her voice and message are important, if not crucial. And I truly believe that it will be women and others with women's hearts and perspective that will be the avenue to lifting the US out of the grave it has dug for itself.

It's hard to deny that Marianne Williamson's compassion and moral clarity are the perfect antidotes to the cancerous corruption and iniquity of this Trump era.

EXCELLENT interview and guest. Thank you for having Marianne Williamson on. She has a depth and breath to her perspectives that need to be listened to. She is ultimately practical and has an ability to cut through the BS to what is real.

Thanks for having Marianne on. Her perspective is honest, forthright and the mirror of our societal breakdown. A truth teller of the highest order.
