Summary
My guest today, Joanna, had an agreement with a friend of hers that they would check in with each other, but he didn't call. She is disappointed and hurt that he wouldn't follow up. This leaves her feeling that he is lazy, selfish, and a coward. As you sit in The Work with Joanna and me, together let's find out who is right and who is wrong. (Part 1 of 2)
