Summary

Today I chat with my long time friend Christina Rumbley. This episode was originally scheduled for us to talk about another topic but I didn’t feel right about it. Instead, we wanted to open up a dialog about the Protests of police brutality after the death of George Floyd. We talk about the feeling of helplessness, the right to listen, how we can self reflect, how civil unrest leads to change, and much more. https://www.change.org/p/mayor-jacob-frey-justice-for-george-floyd?source_location=petitions_browse If you have any questions you would like me to answer on the podcast feel free to email me from my website at www.wifeotp.com Don't forget to subscribe, rate, and review the podcast!
