Have you ever been laying in bed and had the thought, "Shoot...did I lock the door?" Then you either decide, "well, one night with a door unlocked won't kill me", or like most, you get up and check if it's locked. For most it ends at that.Not this week's guest. Imagine checking only to go back to bed to wonder again if it was right, so you go back and you check again and again and again. KaLee Mortensen lived a long life of feeling scared, misunderstood, overwhelmed, and in chronic physical pain (Fibromyalgia). It wasn't until her late 30's she learned she had Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.

Sometimes going beyond the picket fence means venturing beyond what you know to see into someone else's life, not just letting people in. It works both ways!!! There are a lot of things to disagree on these days so I hope to cultivate a place where people can honor themselves and still be loved. Abortion is one of these heated topics that I feel could use a lot more compassion and less judgment. Here is a "Deleted Scene" from the interview "The Host's Mom". A Woman who ACTUALLY HAD TO ABORT A PREGNACY. I hope you leave your agenda behind and just listen. You don't have to change your opinion, JUST LISTEN, without judgment. Is it possible? I hope so because we could change this world one compassionate conversation at a time.Do you know of someone who needs to be on this show? Nominate them here
