    Ep. 8 Silence is as deadly and dangerous as violence.

    When the most insidious forms of patriarchy pass through the mother, her feminine energy is deprived and her voice is silenced. Even when her children are being abused. When a woman is denied her feminine energy, everyone suffers—her family, her community and the world—but it’s up to her to speak up by sharing her story and shine a light in the most darkest aspects of her own life.
