Bumpers

Let’s face it, we don’t all have our shit together. We may fear judgment or are seen as victims or complainers when we share our weaknesses or acknowledge the thoughts, feelings, or struggles we deal with. Yet, each of us is doing our best every day as we navigate life. Our community isn't driven by a big agenda; we don’t claim to know it all; we simply want to extend a supportive hand. If we can help just one person through this podcast, we consider that a victory. Join Shira and Emma every Wednesday for a nostalgic heart to heart, video available only on YouTube.
