This week we hear from Deb Bordsen and Vicci Hilty from the Domestic Violence Center, Snohomish. They answer a question on many peoples mind, “why don’t they just leave?” It is very complicated, with compassion and insight they address many issues of domestic violence that we don’t want to look at including the fact that if we jump into a situation we don’t belong in we actually make it so much worse for the victim. We think we are helping and we are actually making things harder for the family. https://dvs-snoco.org/ https://www.southhillmall.com/smallshop

This week Jane has the extreme pleasure of speaking with one of her life-long mentors, Gail Asher Innis. Gail is not only a mentor but a great friend and Jane's sister. Jane's entire life growing up she watched her sister get involved. Gail worked tirelessly in her position with Michigan State University as an educator, raised three stunningly great children and is an attentive wife. One would think that working full-time and raising a family was enough. Not for Gail. She is a powerhouse in her local community of Sanilac County, Michigan. She works with teens, young children and domestic violence survivors and in her spare time she is raising money for causes she believes in. It is an honor to introduce you to a woman who gets it. Giving back is a way of life for Gail. After listening you may just be inspired to get more involved with your own community. After all, by giving to others we actually give to ourselves.
