Flashback Chat, we have had many requests to replay some of our Most Popular podcasts from the past. Am I Really Making A Difference?  Is it all worth it?  Before The Up For A Chat girls started recording this podcast, Kim looked at Carren and asked if she was OK.  Carren’s answer was, “Is this really worth it?  Am I really making a difference?”  Carren asked a universal question so Kim, Cyndi and Carren decided to explore that very question.  It’s amazing where the conversation goes.  Do we do things to make a difference in the world or do we do things because we love it?  You’ll hear three vulnerable souls looking for answers.  This podcast is very different to any you’ve heard, The Up For A Chat girls are contemplative and quiet and it is a look into their very soul.
