    In this episode I met with Dr. Jim Pugh & CEO, Lisa Wood from Casa Teresa, a shelter for pregnant women in crisis. They help women get their lives in order with different programs & classes such as educational (GED, diploma & college), life skills, parenting, financial and many more. They also remind the women that their situation doesn’t have to define who they are. They help the woman believe in themselves, not just with the classes & programs available, but by showing love & compassion. Things many, if not all of the women at Casa Teresa have been missing from their life. It really can be that simple. Casa Teresa is a great example of people helping people because its the right thing to do. We can all use a little more love & compassion I think.
