28: It’s a human problem
Today’s conversation opens the door for us to begin some conversations around the significant issue we call racism. The depth of this issue makes it easy for us to leave it “over there” somewhere, and not address it - or to see it as someone else’s problem rather than...
27: Take off your mask and let’s go!
Episode 26 was profound for this one simple reason. In the midst of his own fear and confusion, Danny put his mask on and went to work on the front lines of COVID-19. He was ready to live out his purpose as a nurse in spite of the risk. He couldn’t trust that the...
26: Get your mask on and let’s go!
Today’s episode highlights a health care worker who is doing exactly that. This moment in history is not one that any of us were prepared for. It’s also not something we signed up for. When life happen to us, in unexpected ways, what matters the most is how we...

22: What about the homeless?
Are they people to see or just a problem to solve? Maybe what makes it so difficult for us, is that we know they are people. We can’t stand the thought of anyone living without a home, yet we feel powerless. Is giving money and food helpful or does it just prolong the...
21: No thinking person with good motives could disagree on this
This in-between episode is where Judy shares her takeaways from last week's dialogue with Melanie. The words of the title reveal a powerfully destructive assumption that is pretty deeply held by all of us (whether we are aware of it or not). That means moving beyond...
20: Can we really talk about this?
In this episode, Judy and her friend Melanie dive into dialogue around what is probably the most emotionally charged social issue facing Americans today. Don’t worry it’s not going to be ugly because their goal is not to win a debate or change the other person. It...
