Daddy Dearest

Today's episode goes into how her biological father was in and out of prison, how that effected her upbringing with her step father, and what how these relationships teach us about how to love. The conversation shifts into COVID/BLM/ Protest guilt, but I really encourage you to stick with the conversation. My guest has beautifully worded insight and believe this conversation was important to keep in. Resources below!
