Find Joy on Father's Day

What do you do when the protection you need, puts your loved ones at risk?  How do you address the patterns that produce people prepared to spend their lives in a cell when they don't belong there?  Do you know how to comfort a child who loses their father days before father's day when you can't process the world losing a beautiful soul? Are you finding joy in the same place you find your answers? Can you give grace to people who didn't know they had anything to heal from? --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/ms-reid/support

Explaining to her immigrant family that she set aside plans of being a doctor to work in public health, which has now grown into a health tech start-up, Ashlee continues to blaze her own path.  --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/ms-reid/support
