Angelica Ross, the actress and advocate, joins Esther and Darren to explore the unexpected path that led her from the Church of God in Christ to practicing Buddhism for the last thirteen years. Raised in a religious household, Angelica felt a calling to explore spirituality outside the confines of tradition. She opens up about the relationship with her mother and the profound forgiveness and freedom she discovered through her Buddhist practice.
