Enjoy. (22 minutes)

Fire and Water with Quanita RobersonIndependence?In this episode (30 minutes), Quanita and Tenneson explore the possibility that there be no such thing as independence.

And we wonder about the ways that unresolved wound and trauma foster a coping, shadow side of what so many reference as independence. Enjoy the listen. We hope it adds a little wisdom and soulfulness.
