Our Stories Podcast

I believe one of the bravest things we can do is to understand our story. Owning our story can bring us to self-acceptance and healing. How do I get there? Connection. We build empathy when we hear and understand others. This podcast shares the brilliant people in my life and their stories. These peoples' stories are worth sharing. I hope you can connect with them and remember you're not alone.
