**June, 2020: ON HIATUS for the time being. Listen to 'Pressing Pause' to hear why. Thank you for your grace! Step-parenthood, education, mental health, childhood trauma, and career transitions, no topic is off limits and no stone is left unturned. Each week on Storm and Sky, I'll cover what is top of mind in 15 minutes or less. From the childhood experiences that shape our values to coping with the global crisis, Storm and Sky will act as a resource and a sanctuary for those whose lives are everything but linear. New episodes go live every Tuesday at 6AM PT.

I am taking my own advice, and am honoring where I am at the moment. I am pausing on creating content for Storm & Sky to focus my time and energy on the important and lifelong work I have been charged with- to increase my awareness and knowledge around anti-racism, and to adjust my personal and parenting practices to reflect, model and live that value accordingly. I do this in support of, in service of, and in community with our Black men, women and children. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/stormandsky/message
