Welcome to the show and to the series that I'm ending 2025 with.  I'm rolling out my top 5 episodes of 2025.

This was one of my personal favorites.  Everyone has a wounded voice and they don't realize it.  If we just heal the wound, the don't actually fix the voice, the voice has to be dealt with as well.

I hope you enjoy this series and best wishes for a very happy holidays.

      Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same.
