How often do we find ourselves struggling with fear and traumatic experiences? Can embracing pain, rather than fighting it, lead to healing and growth? Join us as we explore these powerful questions with our guest, Phyllis Leavitt, a retired psychotherapist, and author, who shares her personal journey of overcoming trauma and finding love and compassion through therapy and spirituality.

In today's world, it's no secret that violence and neglect are pressing issues that need to be addressed. Phyllis sheds light on how we can end this destructive cycle by reconnecting with one another, promoting positive stories in the media, and investing in families and communities. Through teaching psychology and healthy family dynamics in schools, we can create a tipping point towards a more peaceful, loving, and safe society. Listen in as we discuss the importance of making small changes in our own lives to make a significant difference in the world.

As we consider our own legacies, how can we use our unique gifts to make a lasting impact? Phyllis shares her upcoming book and her hopes for its influence before the next election. Learn about different ways to stay connected with her and find out more about her work. Together, let's remind ourselves of the importance of promoting healing, love, and connection in our world, using our unique talents and gifts to create a better future.
