Customer Reviews
Thought Provoking
What a wonderfully done program!!
In a time when most podcast’s are unfulfilling and less than impressive, Lis delivers a quality experience. With the stylistic approach of master story teller; her diction, and vocal cadence relaxes the listener into a very reflective state.
Delivered with a calm demeanor, Lis is disarming and allows one to be present in the moment….a reality that amplifies the meaningfulness, receptivity and impact of her message.
Easy and inspiring
I enjoy Breaking Dishes for two reasons: 1) Lis Malone’s delivery is smooth and calm and so easy to listen to; there’s a meditative quality to the sonic experience. And 2) the message is inspiring and fresh.
Refreshing!
I tend to focus on the negative part of change. I tend to compare myself and my situation(s) to others and how much “better” they are doing than I am. Lis gave me a new perspective on making the best of the opportunities and a new chance to make a new beginning. I appreciate her transparency and candidness.
