    21 Touching The Earth on Mother's Day

    In this special one-on-one episode, Malasa and Katherine take a meandering journey: wrestling with vulnerability,  reflecting on our place in generational cycles, and what it means to evolve within the grander schemes of life.  What starts as a somewhat amorphous idea for a Mother’s Day episode turns into an incredibly honest conversation about our individual and shared past, present, and future.

    Note that midway through the episode, a name has been bleeped out for privacy.
