There are conversations that we have in our lives that affect us deeply.  They rock our world just enough to leave us thinking and processing long after the talking has stopped.  Well, today's episode was exactly that kind of conversation for Beth.

In today's episode, Beth and Leticia O. Adams sit down together and discuss such timely (yet seemingly eternal) topics as poverty (including generational poverty), privilege, and racism.

There's no way around it, this is a challenging episode.   It's one that will ask you to reconsider certain prejudices, hear another woman's story with an open heart, and will prompt you to learn and grow.  At the same time, though, it'll make you laugh and provide some concrete steps for moving forward into a new frame of mind.

Content warning: We discuss the death by suicide of Leticia's oldest son.
