Beautifullycomplicated Podcast

In this episode it's time to talk about our truths. Our truths as a nation and our truths personally. Following the horrific events in Charlottesville it is time for us to face some hard truths for America, our history with racism and hate as well as its existence in the present day. Without confronting something that is core to the founding of our nation, we're making space for hate to continue to fester and harm.
