The Discussion Room

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
