Secrets in the City with Dr Katherine
25 episodes - English - Latest episode: 10 months ago - ★★★★★ - 18 ratingsThe Secrets in the City Podcast is where we turn our experiences into life-changing lessons. How it all started: During my talks and workshops I would invite people to write down a 'secret' or something they are ashamed about, but not include any details that would reveal who they are. The purpose was to allow the author a safe place to release the burden and to help them realise that they are not alone. And that's how the podcast was born.
