Heart Take Podcast

It all started in an elevator at Florida State University…


This podcast serves as an avenue to connect with our fellow people and partake in dialogue that truly matters; the tough conversations that people might be scared to have. We must be honest with each other and encourage one another to dig deeper. Hosted by Caroline Neil and Dr. Williams, two people who met in an elevator and within two floors uncovered the power of meaningful conversations, we bring you Heart Take. This podcast encourages people to take a look at their heart and allow it to speak volumes in the name of truth and love. 🌹
