In their first interview podcast, Swapna and Ray sit down with Dr. Sara Coffey and Dr. Tessa Chesher. They sit in grief and lament over the recent school mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas.  They discuss the importance of community, being, and lamenting. Sitting with someone in their grief is more powerful that looking for solutions.
