Her demeanor during this interview is hilarious. Her body language says, “I’m tired of y’all not understanding the simplicity of life, but the work must continue because we are on the cusp of becoming robots or zombies. ”

She is one of the best guests you’ve ever had. So articulate and engaging. Her wisdom isn’t over intellectualized it’s direct and I love that. Every person, single, in a relationship, whatever should listen to this. Absolutely brilliant.

I recently met a man at a farmers market. He was funny and made a comment to me while I was sorting my food purchases. He said, “I’m hungry”. That led to a great convo. Turned out we are both Jamaican and we exchanged numbers and he asked me for a coffee. And i’m going to coffee

Her energy is so different in this interview compared to her other interviews. I think she's TIRED of us not getting the basics but she's on a mission to save us from ourselves 😂

The contents on this video is amazing. 25-12-2024. I had the worst Christmas holidays imaginable, the love of my life left me. my backbone, joy and my better half. We have been separated since then, with two kids, now she wants a divorce, my whole world is crumbling right before my eyes. What hurts the most is the fact that i was the cause, i was drowned with work and sometimes we do not communicate for months. I am a marine engineer, so it was difficult to stay in touch when I was absent, at first she could take it but later it kept creating a void. If you are reading this, never neglect your partner. I haven't been the same since then. I will do everything to get her back

I love it when someone with WAY more professional and life experience than me articulates the way I feel about certain topics so flawlessly. What a pleasure to listen to Esther 💜💜💜
