    Why don't we stay more honest with ourselves than half-truths? What happens when we DO keep it fully real with ourselves about who we are now vs. who we want to be?  In episode 2, Anthony has “The Talk” with his Dad, opens up about fear of any sort of change, expected criticism from new behaviors and more. All in the name of improving our relationships with others, whether that's with parents, friends or lovers.

    How do you pass down specific values to your children? Why was there a real fear after giving birth to the third child that wasn't present with the first two?  Welcome to episode number 1 of the Innertained Podcast with me, your host Anthony Thomas, featuring his very own mother, Barbara Thomas. They discussed all the above and more (like Anthony getting kicked out of school on the very last day of his 8th grade year).  This is the start of a journey and it's community driven.
