Kayla talks to Don and Sam about building a connection with her higher power — rather than her ego. She realized that while she was learning the steps, it was more important to work the steps, and that she found the ability to be more honest as the layers peeled. In "Listener Feedback" Kyle shares how the podcast has helped him through a rough time. In a bonus section of listener feedback at the end of the show we hear from Julia, Mick, Sara and Paul.
