From Imperial Valley, to San Diego, and now New Jersey, we have Gracie Azua coming to Catanation Studios. Gracie shares on about her life, going through loss and grief, but also overcoming that with therapy and writing her thoughts.

Gracie and I also talk about speaking in public, having to overcome shyness when being open on the mic in front of people and learning how to overcome it. I learned a lot about this podcast myself about self image, and I gotta thank Gracie for that. Take a listen for yourself.
