Losing a loved one is never easy and may often require leaning on someone we can trust and rely on in times of need.

                  This week's episode is on racial trauma -- what it is and how to cope with it. This episode briefly discusses police brutality and white privilege. This is a topic that needs to be discussed in much more depth; however, our focus is to shed light on racial trauma and how topics like white privilege and police brutality relate to it.
