The Everyday Gurus Podcast
Hi there! We're Christian and Grace, a duo who loves to chat about anything and everything. Our conversations are filled with laughter and cover topics that are authentic, relatable and sometimes even unexpected. Despite our differences, we both enjoy being upfront and unfiltered as we delve into our thoughts and emotions.
Do you feel successful?
Success is something we all strive for but it looks very different for each individual.
