In this episode we look back on my conversation with Diana Butler Bass.  I had a whole list of questions I planned to ask her and ended up asking NONE of them. Instead, we went deep down the rabbit hole of "deconstruction" and "reconstruction" and I'm grateful we did because this conversation was balm for my soul. I hope it will be for you too!
