Summary

As Mandi and Tiffany continue to grapple with the recent tragedies out of Buffalo and Uvalde, they discuss how to take power into our own hands and create change. From emailing local officials to the importance of self-care, the ladies break down key action-steps we can take to find purpose amid the pain.
