This is an interview style podcast where we discuss our struggles. Because the world we live in is so focused on having the "perfect" life, when struggles happen we feel like we must hide them. Here we highlight the struggle to show we are not alone, we all struggle with something, and its how we handle it that speaks the loudest.
