Episode Synopsis "Exploring the Concept of the Container - with Betsy"

Previously, we talked about the big concept of the small container, and today, Joyce is joined by former student Betsy, to continue to tackle  big, global topics through the small stories that give edges and containment to what is often unwieldy and abstract. Thank you, Betsy, for your openness to share your story with all of us.
