We talk about how we become disconnected from our authentic selves, the power that habits play in our lives, overcoming the effects of religious fundamentalism ... and so much more.
I also have a CO-HOST doing the intro to the episode with me - my daughter, Jordan (5 years old), has been home sick for the last 4 days and is missing ALL of the fun school activities leading up to Christmas break and so she got to sit down at the mic with daddy for a few minutes to say hi to y'all.
Enjoy!
