September 24, 2020 Tucker Schwarz- "Restocking the Pantry"
On today’s show we are joined by the lovely Tucker Schwarz. In early 2019 Tucker awoke in the middle of the night to realize that her apartment building was on fire. Luckily she escaped the fire physically unharmed, and no one else in the building was at home. Her apartment, and all her possessions, photos and keepsakes were destroyed. This is such a traumatizing and life altering event, and we felt honored that she opened up to us about the experience and the grief she has experienced in the aftermath. We hope you enjoy this beautiful and candid conversation.
