Today I decided to forgo a regular episode in response to the crazy, broken world we live in. As a podcaster, I have built a platform from the ground up that is devoted to having my voice heard. And in this moment in time, I've come to the realization that I must do just that. Even if it's hard. Even if it's scary. Even if it feels impossible or uncomfortable. I am here to stand with you, and to make your voice heard. The tumultuous events of this past week has truly made me realize that I am called to speak up. Now, I'm calling you to do it too.
