S01 E07 – Walk in My Shoes

Listen

An Indiana man with autism gives a peek inside of his mind and explores a friendship that helped him discover nothing is too difficult to overcome, and a college student in North Carolina decides that self- love is more important than letting other people define her worth.

Join J.R. and Kelsey for a reflection on alone time and finding the space for self-acceptance.
