These are questions that take cultures thousands of years to answer. During answer the call,

0:05.9

I take questions from people just like you about their problems, opportunities, challenges,

0:10.9

or when they simply need advice. How do I balance all of this grief, responsibility? How do you

0:16.1

repair this kind of damage? My daughter, Michaela, guides the conversations as we hopefully help people
