This week Wyn & Kate are joined by Mara Gleason Olsen.  Mara shares very personally about her life as well as her work: how she got started in creating change in the world by educating others about the mind, her non-profit organization and the deep change that has taken place within her following a horrible tragedy.  Listen in to this deeply beautiful discussion.
