Why do two people experience the same moment so differently?
In this episode, author Jeanette Huffman reflects on how our pasts—our memories, heartbreaks, and triumphs—shape the way we see the world. Bias isn’t always about judgment. Sometimes, it’s about perspective.

✨ What you’ll hear:

• Finding Bonnie: Lake Michigan remembered with fear by one, freedom by another.

• Abigail: Two young women in Charleston—Abigail seeing life through a microscope, Lila reaching for the whole world.

• The Soul Keepers: Roman and Fatima—love and loss seen through different lenses of survival.

• Who We Were: When Anna meets Neal, her mother sees risk, but Neal sees destiny.

Through these stories, Jeanette invites us to pause and ask: What lens are others looking through?
