Tony and Academy Award-winning actress Marcia Gay Harden recognizes that for her, like so many of us, she is who she is because of how she was raised. In this episode, Marcia Gay tells the story of how she’s learned to reevaluate all that she inherited from her father, and to let go of the habits she learned from him that no longer serve her.
