IVPodcast 99 - Cancel Culture & Humility Despite our love for that hot tea it's important for us to take a moment to reflect and step into our lifelong process of learning new ways when it comes to witnessing someone being 'cancelled'. Practicing compassion and humility when dealing some of the worst sides of people is a skill we believe in. Are people being overly cancelled or are we letting too much slide?
