    Every Person Has a Story

    Today’s episode starts with a quick update from Lauren and Tara with a little bit of exciting news from Lauren. Then we dive straight into the hit podcast, The Telepathy Tapes, discussing a little bit of our own experience and thoughts on this #1 podcast.  As always, our discussions are meant to be informational only and do not constitute professional advice in any field. We are simply sharing our thoughts and always open to hear from others who want to share theirs.  We wrap up the episode talking about a recent communication method that Channing has started learning, S2C.
