Summary

If loving vulnerability is wrong, then W.E. don’t wanna be right! Our listeners are in for a treat this week as the homie Amber Polk stands flat-footed in her testimony. She joined SJR to discuss how the world’s standards will rob us from the freedom of FULL self-expression every time. Just think about it—how often do W.E. shrink in the presence of others? Amber said she didn’t find herself until she placed herself in environments that produced authenticity & Sis, W.E. felt that for somebody! This episode explores how our co-host has learned to manage a health condition, journey towards weight loss, and assume the identity of hope. Sis, mind your mental health at BetterHelp.com/Evolve. It's time for a check-up!
