Welcome to our first December episode where you'll hear this conversation with Savanna Lusk, who reached out about bringing awareness to folks in Appalachia who don't feel like they have all their shit together. She reminded me that everyone is in a different stage of learning and getting and being empowered and that its important to tell everyone's story, no matter where they are in their journey.

Trigger Warning: Religious trauma & mention of suicidality
