Welcome to Karen Hunter is awesome. I am Karen Hunter and while yes, I am awesome, this podcast is about people and the things that they have to offer to you. I believe in speaking things into existence. So it is with that, I offer you these amazing

people, these awesome topics. Sit back and enjoy. We love our television every Friday. It's

what to watch. And when I saw that this woman is going to be in a film over two days with one of my

favorite authors who I had the pleasure of knowing

rest in power the great Eric Jerome Dickie. I said Jersey's girl is coming through. Yes, I'm here.

you know, I was just talking to Jonah about the space that we're in, people's choices,

land them in places, you know, and sometimes you've got to let people, you know, suffer the

consequences of their actions. But on the other side is that you make choices to be happy.

Yes.

Happy is a choice.

Happy is a choice.

When did you make that choice?

To be happy?

Yeah.

I think I've always consciously tried to make that choice, but I think I specifically

made that choice when I think after my daughter was born, I went through a tumultuous breakup with her father and I was a single mom.
