Description

What happens on this podcast? Vulnerability in action! Join Dr. Kristina Hallett and Kristin Sunanta Walker with guest Leanna James Blackwell on the fears and self-sabotage (women especially) can use to silence their voices. We get enough of this from the world so let's NOT do this to each other. Mental Health News Radio Network is so excited to support Bay Path University.
