We Need Each Other
The outer world is continuously vying for your attention, luring you under its control. It can cause you to lose sight of your value, your importance, and your purpose. At times you need others to remember and remind you. These reminders often come from the most unexpected places. To recognize them requires your open heart and mind. Connection, feeling seen and understood, loved, and needed are imperative in order to experience wholeness. Through this podcast, it is my pleasure to facilitate unconditional love for one, perhaps misunderstood, human being to another. Beginning with love for the self you can then become a wellspring for the world. The world needs you.

My guests, Heather Rebecca Wilson and Porter Lori have at least one thing in common. They are both bi-racial. Many have never considered what it is like to maneuver through society not necessarily being fully accepted by your ethnicities because you are "different". Have you considered the role White Supremacy plays?
