It’s pretty obvious that our country is experiencing some political divisions, to put it mildly. We’re divided in the news we watch, the science we believe in, and even what we consider to be civil and human rights.

I’m afraid to try something new, because what if I make a mistake?

One of my missions in life is to make adult learning experiences like trainings, workshops, and professional development not suck! I figure, how are we going to make the world a better place if we keep repeating the same problems, and keep doing the same things over and over again?

I’ve felt the pull to create this series I’ve decided to call “Did We Learn Anything?” As a consultant and presenter, my favorite part of facilitating a session is the Q&A. Folks get to share what they are thinking about, and wrestling with. It’s less about what I think they should know and more about what they really want to know.

    Betrayal Season 5

    Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
